Who called this SF? Somebody thought; its not comedy, not a thriller or about war, not a cop movie, no action in sight, and I don't understand it? Its an insult to the thousands of magnificent SF books waiting to be made into movies. What are they waiting for? Refuse to make a few good-for-nothing disasters such as this and you're good to go.
How can some incompetent director make (very weak) fun of soldiers at a time where they are dying in legions? Yes you are supposed to follow orders, thats because an attack is not the right time to argue the hierarchy, that exists in every company. And these orders aren't; shoot your colleague because he is approaching from the wrong side. Or grin like you're insane? She has soldiers in the family she said, but I don't think they'll invite her for the next gathering. Who let an anarchist make a film?
I thought, if the movie is no good, then mount Etna will provide. It shouldn't surprice me, but even one of the highlights of nature, an active vulcano, gets cancelled to a few gravel piles. And no, its not a musical either. That would have been a vast improvement since the actors like to jump around and behave silly. And why do people hate music so much that they prefer its absense? Because it looks like the void in their skull?
Even to catch up on the hours of sleep you missed this film is no good. Just when you drift off they start target practice. Nasty.
