Venus-25's rating
This film combines multiple genres: War -- Action, and Horror -- and does it well. There are no dull moments, few lulls in the action, and enough scares to please. Good performances from all the actors as well despite the war film cliches in the character choices from the nearly-psychopathic Ford to the wisecracking Tibbet to the sensitive Boyce who toughens up when he nees to.. However, the target audience will need to be reminded that American soldiers were racially segregated in the military during this period, so the communications and exchanges between these characters would not have happened during this war. The Dr Frankenstein of this tale is a mere cypher compared to the charismatic figures cut by excellent British actors of past generations, but evil is banal.
If you have a chance, see this in an IMAX theatre where you will feel like you are in the picture. The explosions, flames, and smoke will be loud and up close enough to give you the feel of danger that is in the reactions of the characters.
