Red Poppies

Going own pace, not too flashingly dynamic, rather underscoring the dramatism of the fight. Special effects, especially CGI like Wojtek the bear could have been better but then again - not meant to be flashy, anyway. Closer to a Bridge too Far than Private Ryan. Some historic connotation better understood if one knows the background. Acting very good, historic characters well rendered, especially generals Maczek and Anders. Good idea of the plot, following a hypothetical side character and pretty neatly executed. Overall, decent but not too impressive, well composed. Some unnecessary shortcuts did to facilitate the story progress while sacrificing logic.
