A very "put together" film with solid performances, Perhaps it's my age and experience, so there were no surprises.
If democracy is humans' greatest experience to end our species' problems [and I believe it is], then where are the solutions? Answer: not in this film...
I used to tell my children they must be witnesses, meaning they must know about the past "lest we forget." This film is an excellent reminder of atrocities committed by the Nazis. Young people must learn about this past to they can prevent or stop its repetition in the present and future. The cast is strong. and the direction is well drawn. For those that think car chases and explosions are tense, suspenseful, and unnerving, they can learn there's more, in the real world...
I guess if the viewer hadn't seen real Westerns as a child, then there wouldn't be the emotional punch of several scenes. Confident that no horses were injured during this filming, there were reminders that, in past, horses were really hurt.
OK, so the movie aliens were not super new totally different beings; isn't that the point?!
Loved the humor! The supporting cast is a hoot! I actually owned a Chevelle Super Sport - sweet car. I suppose it's good that kids have mythic freedom vs. authoritarianism stories to ponder, plus the "appreciate youth" messages. Cheers & enjoy:)
