At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie is terrible! Don't waste your time, and especially your $$$$

This movie was among one of the most emotionally charged films I've seen in a long time. I encourage everyone to watch this. It's both sad and heart warming at the same time. Such bravery in the face of danger. Such courage in the line of duty and under fire.This film is incredible in every respect, from the excellent acting, to the cinematic experience of brutal reality, to the moral character exhibited, to the visual aesthetic, and to the auditory experiences.This film will prove to you that good movies do exist in modern times, despite the overwhelming number of movies that would suggest something to the contrary.You'll want some kleenex to wipe away your eyes, because anyone with half a heart will find this so emotionally moving that tears are bound to drip from them.This movie starts out slow, builds up the character, and goes on to prove everyone wrong about their suppositions of what kind of man Desmond Doss was. He proves himself a hero, in spite of his refusal to bear arms.Watch this, and honor those who have passed. War is not a pleasant experience. Perhaps with films such as these we can be reminded of all that has been sacrificed by those before us, and learn, and strive for a better tomorrow.

Andrew Garfield shines in this movie. So does the supporting cast. There's something so admirable an unique about how the movie is made. Its like you're watching a movie made before 2000 but in a good way. The movie never bores you. The drama is solid and the when the movie gets brutal OMG I can't praise the intensity and the gimness of the perfecrtly filmed war scenes. The only knit pick about the movie is that I found Vince's charecter of the Sarge a bit over the top. But its okay. He also gives a competent performance. The standouts are Hugo Weaving and Andrew Garfield.

... to support others killing so that he doesn't have to. Like atheists who can only prosper among nations of believers, pacifists seem determined to remain uncomprehending and ungrateful to those who do the unpleasant task of fighting against others who would take their property, nation, family and and life. Somehow, this makes pacifists noble, in some people's estimation. Even those who go to war thinking it's glorious are quickly disillusioned - but that doesn't mean that they abandon violent force.The one credit I'll concede to this film-making effort is that the perfect casting was done for the lead actor. Nothing else about this film is remarkable.
