To some it may be a dull black and white old style war yarn, but we need to remember that people waited outside the local cinema to enjoy movies like this, and believe me they were entertained.
It's a well told story about a little clump of land in the middle of the sea and the people on it that probably prevented Rommels Panzer Army from running amok throughout North Africa.
So watch it in all it CGI(less), special effects(less) glory and enjoy it for what it is.
Hell, you might even want to watch some more (The desert rats, Ice cool in Alex, The desert fox, the Dunkirk story, god I could go on for ages).
