Ok, so my Dad read this and told me I had to come read it. He's a sucker for WWII movies and he's into all the same stuff as you, like "it has to be a REAL IMAX." Ok, whatever, Dad.
Well, I read it, and as always, I enjoyed your take. If I'm going to invest the time and money to go to a theater to see a movie, I want the 'full' experience also. So, 3 stories did not add up to one, too bad. I'll definitely humor my Dad and watch this movie, eventually
LOL. I bet your dad is younger than me!
There are some others on here who disagreed with me (as well as my wife). Perhaps if you go in knowing it is going to be about the war and not the characters you will have a better experience.
My Dad is 47 and the poor guy is mostly grey. I think I may have had part in the grey thing
He has me by 1 year. I'm sure your making up for it in your adulthood. I'm preparing for those gray hair causing years with my kids... but I'm shaved bald so they will never know!
