When I first saw all the bad comments of this movie, I thought this must be a boring one, and then Rev. Sun Myung Moon financed it also, it cant be that good.
Anyways, I seemed interested in the fact that this was an 50 million dollar movie, so I went on searching for it. I must say it was very hard to find, but I finally found it.
Having a critical mind about this movie I set on watching it, and this is the following I have to say:
1- This movie is worth while watching, it is very professionally made, and comparing to other trashy movies which have gotten a much higher score this movie is obviously underscored.
2- The 50 million dollars weren't for nothing put into this movie, you really get a 50 million dollar movie, tanks explode, airplanes crash, armies of thousands of men combat each other in a very real scene. Nothing compared to cheep crap which is done through computer, this is the real thing.
3- Actors and storyline are great, I mean what else do you want, I really got touched.
Conclusion: This movie has been obviously discarded by the media, and why, I think this movie could have hit the 1982 top, but rather disappeared as the mist. My guess why this is so? I think the reason for all these bad comments and scores, is only and only because of the person who financed this movie, The Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Religious leaders and media were very strongly opposing Sun Myung Moon in the 80's and logically a 50 million movie wouldn't be welcome.
So don't believe all the nonsense written about the movie, watch it yourself and then you will know.
