Oddball_E8 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I doubt anything will ever trump Stalingrad from '93... Visually, sure, but not emotionally... That movie makes me hate war more than any other... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex1 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 MKIVs are dissappointing. These are CGI tanks do the MKIVs look a little off to you? The road wheels look more like T55 tanks made to look like MKIVs and then copied 5 times in CGI. Yeah. You just reminded me to gift the original stalingrad movie to myself on blu ray for chrissy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I agree that the effects are truly stunning. But I fear that they might have spent more time, energy and money on the visuals than on the most important and basic thing: A good script (why am I reminded of "Pearl Harbor"?). Hope my fears are groundless, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the armor skirts are there to hide the inaccuracies. judging by the reviews out on this one i wouldn't expect much from it. seems like its in the same league as "Pearl Harbor" and "Enemy at the Gates" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waclaw Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 great effects, but the film unfortunately hopeless - as someone watching at least one Soviet war movie - it's all the others are the same (although there were exceptions such as "Come and See") 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPB II Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 SPOILER szene from the movie: Well that was truly, suberbly and spectacularly craptastic. I guess all the money went into the effects so there was nothing left to spend on a script, a director, actors and sound design. Brave comrades don't mind being set on fire at all and he fascists don't seem to remember they are supposed to pull the trigger. It's like the director has watched nothing but video game cutscenes and trailers and went on that. The effects look mostly like lifeless plastic. Running out of toilet paper is more dramatic and emotionally impactful than this. Signs of the times, movies like this. All eyecandy, no substance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 judging by the reviews out on this one i wouldn't expect much from it. seems like its in the same league as "Pearl Harbor" and "Enemy at the Gates" Enemy at the Gates was good, imho. At least, entertaining. The Stalingrad youtube clip shows a Soviet soldier crossing himself. An unthinkable detail under the Soviet regime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Running out of toilet paper is more dramatic and emotionally impactful than this. Well that isn't all that fair.... not many things are as dramatic and emotionally impacting as running out of toilet paper. LOL reminds me of when I was a kid we took the theme song of the western tv series "Branded" and changed the lyrics "Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl, what do you do when you're stranded? You take it like a man and wipe it with your hand." Man I can't believe I wasted enough of my memory to have that seared in there all these years. Remember something useful, nah let's keep this little ditty in a prime memory spot. Sad really. Maybe I should crawl over to the Peng thread. Even Barry Manilow would be a step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hopefully somebody on fanedit will do us all a favour and remove most of the crap. Those guys even made Pearl (strength and honour edit) Harbour half decent. The Pearl Harbour edit is apparently praised in an issue of Empire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuser Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Visually amazing, for sure,...It´s incredible what can be achieved nowadays with the use of technology,...I can barely imagine what the videogames our grandsons may play will be like,...BUT, as it happens more and more these days, pretty wrapping paper for empty presents will always be dissapointing and deceptive... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road wheels look more like T55 tanks made to look like MKIVs and then copied 5 times in CGI. Yeah. You just reminded me to gift the original stalingrad movie to myself on blu ray for chrissy. They appear to be made to look like late F or early G models, I dont think there were that many MKIV Fs and Gs in 6th Army at the time of the Stalingrad battle, maybe a few, but every tank in the CGI sequence looks the same. Its still pretty cool, what can be done these days with computer enhanced movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It appear that WWII films in Russia are like westerns in the U.S. You've got the general backstory and timeline. You've got the appropriate guns and uniforms, and that gives you free rein to be as over-the-top as you please. They do 'Stalingrad', we do 'The Lone Ranger'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see what CM will have for building ruins by the time we get to Stalingrad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
