So I imagine a few of you have seen it by now... Great reviews, oscar talk, "best war movie ever made!", etc...

I did not like it at all... The movie left me cold... I found the music (if you can call it that) irritating... The 3 timelines did not always intermix skillfully (night/day, cut at the wrong time). Zero investment in any of the characters, hell the minute they got wet I could not tell who was who anymore anyway...

The only fun part for me was the spitfire "day" which was well shot and looked real, but even then they ruined it for me at the end... A spit with no engine at what looked like 500 ft above sea level manages to get away from the He-111 kill and position itself to shoot a diving stuka ??? Nope, just the geometry of that attack would not work.. Then he glides some more (!!! ) for like 2 eternities.... to land in enemy lines ? With that kind of energy he could have ditched in the middle of 100000 friends instead.. Hmmm... anyway not to nitpick, it just didn't gell at all and I heard a lot of folks were disappointed too..

I was fascinated by the battle of britain as a kid and read all the book, saw all the movies, this did not do it for me at all...

Went to see the way-lower-rated "Atomic blonde" the next day, now that delivered on its preview - fun! Not sure that 964 turbo was out in late 89 but it was a great flick...
