Just got done watching it. Have to admit I was not terribly impressed, felt it left alot to be desired. The visuals were fine, sometimes excellent, but otherwise nothing really stood out.

Yesterday this movie became available for rent on Fandango and maybe some other streaming services so I finally got to watch it last night.

Overall a good movie, it was certainly worth the time and rental fee, but after it was over I had the same reaction. Good visuals and good attention to detail. There were a couple of scenarios that didn't really make sense or didn't seem that believable but those can be overlooked. Mostly when it was over I just didn't feel like I'd been through any kind of emotional experience like at the end of Saving Private Ryan.


Good review. I'm glad I saw it on the big screen.

Saving Private Ryan set the bar pretty high. My wife cries at a lot of movies. She wept openly at SPR when the mom lays down on the porch when she sees the Army staff car coming up the drive and also when the medic tries to dx his wounds, then asks for his mom when he knows he's dying. Her perspective from a mother's point of view was heart wrenching. She won't go to another war movie since then. I saw 1917 solo.
