I think this will be a pretty honest assessment.
Is it what the trailers portrayed it to be? Absolutely not. I went into the theater thinking it was going to be an action movie. It was not. With that, I was disappointed. It is very much an artsy type of movie. The director, Alex Garland, cared most about how a scene looked and felt. If you are going into it looking for something like that, than this is a great movie. Reminiscent of A Thin Red Line by Terrence Malik. Very artsy, not bad, but if you were looking for Band of Brothers action in Guadalcanal, it just quite didn't hit the spot.
This movie is all about your expectations. If you go in expecting what the trailers are promising, you will be greatly disappointed. If you go in, already knowing and wanting this to be an artsy movie, than I think you will like it. It is a movie about journalists with a few battle and other tense scenes mixed in.
I will say, Garland did a great job removing politics from it. You actually have no idea, politically and factionally speaking, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
