IMDB rating has always been accurate, 7+ is worth watching, 8+ is outstanding, but this 8.2 is overly inflated, a 6.5 is close to reality. Granted, there's no glory in "Evacuation and Retreat", but the writers can always show individual heroics, survival struggle and war terror, they tried and failed in any of them, like most reviewers here, I was wondering did the critics get to watch a different film? Almost TWENTY years ago, Saving Private Ryan showed us how merciless the war can be, cliche aside, there were heroism, realism and shock. Twelve years ago, History channel's Dogfights showed us CGI has improved so much that period correct machines, correctly painted fighters can be simulated in realistic dogfights, and numerous movies showed epic, expansive landscape with soldiers, but this 2017 movie has none of that. The story is bland, acting is so-so and viewers are UNDERwhelmed. If you do watch it and you will agree.
