I like it

Windtalkers does not have the gore for the sake of gore. It is time that war pictures get real and not make kids want to fall in love with the romance of battle. I feel Windtalkers found a happy medium, maybe a very thin line, but they found it. I found only one technical mistake. In one scene near the beginning of the movie, they use a 50 Star Flag. OK, I found a nitpick. The story showed not only battle but emotion and only had one bad line by Chick, right out of Tucker. "Someday fifty years from now we might be friends with these people." Easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. Overall, go see it, if you like war movies.
