Fascinating physics

Rating: 6/10 (13 February 2005)

There seems to be a mysterious space-time divergence in this movie. A marine will regularly shoot six Japanese in a second without even having to aim, while half a dozen Japanese shooting at a marine only make the dust raise around his feet. Uncanny, or were they just being polite? There were some very powerful lungs around too.Whenever people are destroyed in the midst of a gigantic explosion, you can always hear their screams over the boom. I wouldn't like to be next to one of these guys in a football match, there'd be shattered ear-drums all around at a touch down. As the battles have all the traumatic effect of watching grown up kids playing at soldiers, it was delightful watching so many people being shot, a Peckinpah after-taste.
