Let's be realistic.

Brilliant and touching

Absolutely Fantastic

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The best war film ever made. Possibly the best film ever made. Outstanding writing. Outstanding acting. Outstanding directorship.I never normally say thing like this, but if you don't appreciate this film you're a moron.

This is definitely one of the best war movies I have ever seen. No Rambo actions in this one. The title really depicts what the movies is all about A Journey's End. The brutality of war. Good men die like that . In times of war orders are orders. It is sad. I wonder all this potential gone to waste . Over 60 million people died in world wars. Countries destroyed. I wonder how the world would have been liked if only ... I recommend you see this movie with high quality video . The sound is amazing& the cinematic . The acting is superb . If you think that war is exciting . Think again . You ought to see it. Deserves a better rating.

For those who think The Great War (or WWI) is out of contact, that those involved are all gone as are many of their children, think again. It's now 100 years since it ended but my Grandfather fought in it & I'm only in my late 30s.He died when I was three but I do have two vague memories of him. One where he was lifting me up & the other where I was stood holding onto his leg as he sat. The latter of these two memories is more vivid because I recall feeling a sunken hole in his leg. Years later I found out that this hole was due to an injury he sustained during the war - he was blown up. He survived but his commanding officer (who was stood next to him) died.My grandfather lay unattended for over a day. When he was eventually found he was close to death. Two German POWs carried the stretcher that took him to safety with my Grandfather occasionally having to raise his arm to show life in order to prevent them dumping him onto a corpse pile.After the war he became a miner & it was this profession that had its hands on his eventual death (lungs). This film concentrates on the officer-class (as do the majority of films about The Great War). Nevertheless, I understand this, for there is no Hollywood glamour in being working class rank & file, but, it was the rank & file who truly bore the brunt of trench warfare & I wish their stories were truthfully told - It is no coincidence that a huge surge in the Labour/socialist movement followed WWI. Working class bitterness towards the elite classes after this war was warranted & it's a disgrace that contemporary upper class historians (Dan Snow) attempt to dilute elite class responsibility for the horrors of WWI. The actors in this film do a good job. The story runs smoothly & is accessible. The actors

It's no secret that there is an abundance of WWII movies, but not many world war 1 flicks. World War 1 is a dark, interesting, and brutal war, and this film really captures that. The smoke, the dirt, and the filth of the set and area immediately immerse you into the film, and really make you feel like you're right there experiencing it. The acting is great and all well performed, each character interesting and showcasing the effects that war can have on a person's mental state. It's a slow burn of a film, taking it's time developing characters as well as leading up to an inevitable and dreaded battle, and the slow burn is absolutely worth it. The final 20 minutes of this film are absolutely terrifying, yet beautiful.
