It's like a history book on film.

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2004)

Not a bad movie. 7/10. While currently doing a research paper on the CMC, I found some of the info. in the movie just "stuck" in; almost to justify that the movie was accurate. Exact quotes from texts and journals that I read had been stuck into the movie. Costner's accent is overwhelming. If you like history or Costner, you'll like this. It's kind of intriguing to read about participants and then see them in the movie. It seemed pretty accurate though campy at times. It may be a tad on the long side. It must be tough to get 13 days of the CMC, pick out some parts, and then display it as a story. Watching it, you obviously know how it ends. We/they don't launch.
