Title: Hint: Not a War Film? This Isn't a Film at All
Product review: Ever since it's release I've been amazed at the critical reception and nods at the Academy Awards show. Best movie? Best Director?After watching it, you realize, if you were trying to get a WWII film fix, you sure as hell weren't going to get it here.It fails, even as an "anti-war" film. This film is so aimless, fractured and droning it's hard to pull any redeeming qualities out of it at all. What small qualities it does show are so short and few they're hard to spot.After the constant drooling by so many actors and film buffs of the return of Terrence Malick to directing, you'd think he'd pull a much more coherent, approachable movie out of his butt to make his debut. He's obviously way too self important for that.In the end, it looks as if the studio took all the money they saved from the stars' paycuts to be in the movie and used it to grease the palms of the Academy.If I could give it a negative star rating, I would.
