I was waiting for someone to get the right answer. Yes, this stink bomb is the very worst war film that I have ever seen. It was war portrayed as only a left-wing sensitive guy can do: the director Terrence Malick. The film was so sensitive that it received 7 academy award nominations. An academy award has about as much to do with movie quality as a Nobel Peace Prize has to do with peace.
I had the misfortune to actually purchase this cinematic disaster before viewing it. I tried to re-sell it on Amazon, but have had no takers.
