You get the idea. There is intervention with civilians, and more attempts to personalize the war, but they never get out of first gear. You marvel at the logistics of the film, but you never really get involved in the action enough to care about any of the characters. It's big, long and loud, but it doesn't leave an impression. The quality of the digital transfer varies from scene to scene.
Some scenes look sharp and vivid, while others look grainy and full of artifacts.
It doesn't help matters that the original print isn't nearly as pristine as one would hope. There are scratches around the reel changes, and the low lit scenes loose their depth and solidity. Compression artifacts dance around the landscape. The colors also vary, vibrant and alive in some scenes, muted and drab in others. Some of the blacks also begin to fade, making the scene look unattractive.
