I can't say enough about this movie. Firstly, your dealing with the people who (since day day one) always play the part of pawn, cannon fodder and war dog. Often found walking point, cleaning toilets, fixing trucks you find the black guys in the military. But when it counts in "the clutch" and lives are on the line it's when these men have often risen above the rest. So as the cream rises to the top this move is rich with STORY (you know lacking in most movies any longer).

Intertwined storytelling and excellent dialogue makeup the bulk of the acting scenes. The lighting, coloring schemes and overall appearance are lively and always seem to provide wonderful depth. Often I was surprised at how playful the soundtrack and audio was for this film considering rather dark content (no not the actors you racists).

But with high caliber props, thoughtful and expertly filmed action sequences (on par with anything I call a keeper for my collection), vehicles and WWII memorabilia. Enough eye candy for any WWII buff. The high points for me are literally too many to nail down. I am not lying when I say it was as "pretty" as "Band of Brothers" with the acting (spoken dialogue) of a top notch mafia movie; all executed so very well, bravo guys! I would honestly love to see many many more black guy war movies (IT'S ONLY FAIR Hollywood!)- Budget is important and so is teamwork. This film to me represents something that could kick off top grade future movies with heart, bravery and lovable moments. Time to find more moves by this director and team! Oh me? - White 40-50, Denver, Colorado, Pot Smoker and lover not a fighter :)

I am 42 and a normal sci-fi loving fan. Not the comic-con or anal retentive prick (i.e. comic book guy) who loves Star Wars and has never had much issue with any of them and loved Empire of the first 3 releases.

This is a truly inspired film that (FOR ONCE) was made for the fans (by what I assume are fans) and some very fresh thinking on the telling of the story. Me...bored on Saturday morning went to Matinée and it was packed. I had no idea this even came out (shows how nerdy I am). I sort of remembered the last movie as being wicked fun at the box office but only OK back at home on 2nd viewing.

This had me so confused until the end but in doing so I was hinged on every moment trying to wrap my head around it all. Then as the end "happens to unfold in rapid succession" I literally broke out in tears!!! I was simply astounded by the gripping nature of the action (similar to Edge of Tomorrow) and depth of the story development. It had something that TROUNCED my sci-fi mind and all I can say is that someday an AI will be examining all things related to MAN and MACHINE. The AI will know I cried once at the death* of a machine.

All I know is that I am so often let down by paying to go the theater I hardly ever go. This is one stop I will never regret making and have now gone back to see it on IMAX 3D twice.

Black Mirror, The Outter Limits and The Twilight Zone were among the legendary Science Fiction anthology films of all time. Substance and telling stories about human nature from new perspectives.

This on the other hand comes on strong and you really get the vibe from those legendary films but then falls flat after a peak midway through the series of short sci-fi short films.

I can't say much more without trash talking and pointing out that since it is an anthology they could really have tried much harder to perfect the selection (there are others out there that would have made this a top notch compilation of shorts.
