Saving Private Ryan in a WWI setting instead of WWII. Most reviews positive in support of a Canadian production...

Not perfect but a good depiction of Canada in wartime and some of the most realistic and mesmorizing battlefield action scenes I have ever seen. As a former soldier, I could relate to many of the simple interactions, comraderie, and humour. Two hours of mud and guts would not have attracted Canadians in droves to see this and I think Gross did his best to appeal to all potential moviegoers while remaining faithful to the story.

To be blunt, this is the finest Canadian movie ever made and should be mandatory viewing for every patriotic Canadian. I saw it with 2 friends and we all left with tears in our eyes. We don’t have enough films celebrating Canadian history and heroism and we all owe Paul Gross a huge thank you for making it.

Excellent movie, somewhat disappointed as billed as Canada's most expensive movie ever, with lots of hype about battle of Passchendaele. Movie is more a chick flick, centered around battle. When they do the war scenes they are amazing. Overall it's worth seeing.

What a wonderfull movie we enjoyed it greatly. Congratulations to Paul Gross and all the great cast members the war scenes were so realistic and the scenery was so beautiful. We saw this movie Saturday evening and at the end of the movie everyone in the audience stood until all the credits were over. A wonderful sign of respect, very touching. The closing song was so beautiful and haunting.

Was a good movie but I left feeling kind of chipped, the story had little too do with the Passchendaele Battle, it was more a story about 3 peoples lives, would have like to have seen more about the history and the battle like the title and all the ads suggested.

A great movie. People say the previews were deceiving but were they really? Sure the movie doesn't focus a lot on the battle of Passchendaele but if you read up on the movie you'll realize that it's not just about a soldier's life on the battlefield. It's about his life back home as well, about the people back home and what they had to go through. People who say it's boring because of the romance missed the point and probably are too used to the Hollywoodized movies. This movie really hit home for me, and I couldn't move from my seat until the credits ended.

Not amazing but a great appreciation of canadian involvement in WW1 and an excellent movie that doesn't need to exceed expectations to be good.
