When I saw trailers, I thought this would be a good movie for my 4-year old son. Calm water, nice dolphins, fish, sunsets on the sea etc. "Maybe it would be something like 'Finding Nemo'" - I thought. So we went to the cinema with all family and after about 25 minutes we left it. It was the first time ever I left the cinema before movie ending credits.
First of all, one doesn't know what the movie is about. There is a dolphin, his family and he wants to leave them and find something, probably it's like searching for the sense of life. It's called "dreaming" in the movie. We don't know why he feels bad with his family, what is wrong, and so on. The time goes by and we are feeling bored, because we know no reasons and goals, we don't even know that there are any, but they are to be revealed later.
But OK, he escapes. He is then chased by some kind of 100 meters large barracuda. Is it his imagination? Or is it real? One doesn't know, but I think that asking and answering such questions is too difficult for a 4-year old kid.
This barracuda is very horrible, not only because of it's behavior (attempting to kill the dolphin), it looks very scary, it's large and aggressive. When it had shown up for the second time, we went away, or maybe "escaped" would be a better word.
The only thing I found quite good was the animation of water. In fact, each small wave was shown in high detail, each light reflection seems to be physically correct. I think, although I'm no biologist, that the animals may have been designed correctly.
In my opinion this is not a movie for children, because of its brutality and, in fact, no sense the kid could understand. Neither it is not a movie for older people, it's waste of time, it is boring. It is also difficult to distinguish characters (dolphins) from one another.

The movie is based on the idea of time-travelling. There were lots of such movies and novels, but this one is somewhat different. There is USS Nimitz, nuclear carrier, equipped in jets, reconnaissance planes, marines, and so on, everything that is needed in modern warfare. Somehow Nimitz is taken back to 1941, just before Pearl Harbour battle. Now it is a super-weapon that can change history and alone destroy all the Japanese fleet.
One interesting question is if it is possible to change history. The crew are soldiers and want to participate the battle. In movies such "Back to the Future" characters were able to change history, in more "real", like "Twelve Monkeys" -- they were creating it. Is Nimitz able to win the battle that was lost? What would happen to people who lived then? With some senator, who is going to win presidential elections, but was "missing" after the battle? Will he survive it and lead his nation after the war? The main question is not "will Nimitz finally go back to its time" but "will Nimitz join the battle". One does not think about future but about soldier's duty.
The movie consists nice photo shots. The carrier itself, its planes, dogfights between Japanese motor-planes and modern F14. Even if it is not even a candidate for the Oscar, I think it is always a good SF and war movie.

This is a story about some episode British-Turk campaign in Palestine in 1917. Very important role in this campaign was played by Australian forces. The key to conquer the Holy Land is city of Gaza. British general wants however to throw his forces to bypass the city and capture another one - Beersheba. To take them both it is necessary to keep his plan secret.
As a person who is interested in all WWI history I was waiting for this movie. I find it very good. All equipment seems to be very accurate, however, I've never heard about use of tanks in this front. There is a nice scene of air attack by German biplane, cars from that times, uniforms, and so on -- it all seems to be historical correct. The final charge is worth waiting for. I think that anyone who is interested in this campaign would be satisfied.
Because of Australian point of view the role of British army seems to be a little underrated. I especially mean British commander -- general Allenby. I think it would be good to say at the very end that after capturing Beersheba, Gaza fell as well a week later, and the road to Jerusalem was opened. This was what was lacking for me.
