The extensive use of documentary footage just does not blend into the movie, both aspects never merge into one cohesive story. Even the tale about the young man is atrocious, who can care when there's no development at all? Just this one dull guy doing something then ten minutes of random WW2 reel.
Terrible movie...1h 23min of my life that I will never get back, never mind the $22 I paid for this thing  . Yeah, just stick some random footage into a story and it will make a movie. |
Interesting. I just posted about this movie a few days ago. I actually thought the editing of both the archival footage and studio footage was pretty good. But I agree that this isn't exactly a very compelling story. The acting also isn't so good either (a lot of "under-acting" occurs). I still was amazed at the panjandrum wheel and some of those amazing shots of real 35mm war footage.
