This is an enormous waste of time, really bad.


This film has no redeeming qualities. It is completely muddled, you have no idea whats going on most of the time, and the special effects look entirely silly. I could live with this film if it had decent effects and worked on an exploitation level, but it is just stupid. I know it may sound intriguing to watch, but it isn't.

The fact that the film is factual does not excuse lousy, boring, narcissistic filmmaking, lousy acting, and cheap, phony special effects. This topic deserved a much better director. This guy is an egotistical, self-indulgent butt-head! He bores us incessantly with scenes of falling snow and silent scenes of actors staring at each other and into the camera. PU!

Agreed. Waste of time. If you want to know the real story of this place, go read a book and save yourself 4 hours...

Well, it'd probably take you longer than 4 hours to read a book. Heheh. But at least you wouldn't feel like you wasted your life.

I mean, seriously folks -- you will hate yourself for wasting your life watching this crap. The only good thing to come out of this movie is making fun of it on here with you dudes.

Humanity is doomed when people fail to realize the historical event is more important than how it's portrayed in a film.

These are based on real actions that took place, you can't even see that due to a *beep* presentation?

It's not that bad like some of you seem to make it

It's like an overly self-indulgent 5-hour music video for the most uncreative, clueless and boring industrial band the human mind could conjure up in a deadly fever dream bouncing on the way into the eternal void while desperate neurons fizzle and short out, only meant as an actual movie. Avoid it, it's a waste of time. The only disturbing thing about it is that people actually watched it all the way through.

Thanks for the heads up. I decided to watch the trailer on youtube, the movie looks like a joke. I'll skip it.
