Okay like it's bad though, I'm gonna get that out of the way immediately. It is not a good movie there's bad accents, terrible digital effects, just in general really low quality compositing, the acting is all over the place and even when it's good it doesn't help the movie at all.
But it's also very confusing in that it's actually kinda unclear what this movie was even trying to do. In some ways it's kinda just this children's theatre production of a bunch of scenes from other war movies, but it also DESPERATELY wants to have something to say, so desperately in fact that the characters just constantly relitigate the same handful of disagreements over and over without ever addressing or even discussing the matter in a cogent way, the movie seems to have chosen this over like, actually saying anything.
The villain is comically out of place, the way the actor is playing it it seems out of character when this guy has like actual reasons to do things other than "I want to murder them for fun, you all get to watch!" He's going for like that kind of not for kids in any capacity but still cartoon style villainy, and he's pretty much top of the cast for acting in this thing too so that's kinda making the movie more incoherent, it's hard to explain. Like imagine a serious attempt at a serious historical drama about a significant event and one of the people who was there is being depicted with like Skeletor, like a cartoon animated character in the movie and he keeps telling and calling people he-man and shit. But also the animation is lavish hand drawn deeply lovingly crafted and the VA is putting his entire pussy and also the pussy he keeps in a jar on a shelf in a closet at home into his Skeletor voice and it's incredible, but it's fucking up whatever historical drama shit the movie is trying to do so bad like you are 85% sure they replaced like Eisenhauer with Skeletor you don't even know at this point.
Oh that reminds me everyone in the movie just constantly turns to the camera and plainly calmly explains the historical and/or agreed upon context for what is happening, multiple character do that "as you know you are [X] and I am [Y] and we are experiencing [situation] at this time" over and over it's wild.
It's extra wild when a significant number of changes to the events have been made for this adaptation.
Oh and if you are also in that weird middle part of the Venn diagram between like war history nerds and objectum folks like me, save yourself the disappointment this movie basically doesn't give a single fuck about Besotten Jenny and I am honestly surprised they even knew the tank's name given how little she affected the plot.
