I've been looking forward to seeing this movie since I saw the preview for it about a month ago. So I finally had the chance to see it and I was extremely disappointed. I think it had many good points, and it had potential, but the bad things just outweighed the good. I didn't like the beginning, it just kicked the movie off to a boring start, very random and very little to no background of characters. The middle, however, I very much enjoyed. After Ben Chaplin's character showed up, I liked the film. But then it was as if as soon as the movie had begun, it was over. The ending had no climax, I know the climax was suppose to be the Water Horse jumping over the net, but it just wasn't. I felt very let down by this. Also, there were many little stories that had begun, but were never tied up and had NOTHING to do with the film. Ex: Tension between the mother and Lewis, Kristie and the soldier's relationship/tension, relationship between the two cooks, it was all so meaningless. I think if they tied up these loose ends, the movie would have been much, much better. On a last note, I simply LOVED the score for this film, and I think I may buy it soon.
My point in this thread is not to hate, just to simply state my opinion, and I'm sorry if I have offended anyone.
