Err ok
Actually I quite enjoyed it yes it shows my inexperience in knowing historical accuracy etc
But as an action movie it wasnt bad and those Russian tank destroyers looked mean
I liked the twist in it as well :thumbup:
Will i watch it again probably
Cheers

As entertainment, I too enjoyed it. Sort of a cross between White Tiger, Sixth Sense, and Saving Private Ryan. I’ll not comment on the accuracy of the Tiger, but I did notice that it seemed to have a drive sprocket at the front and rear? The IS tanks, definitely did not look accurate in eyes. The uniforms, I guess were made so as not to offend, by having no specific insignia on them.

If you're a rivet-counter, then you'll be sorely disappointed since there are too many inconsistencies to list... what do you expect when they built a Tiger out of a T34

But if you can resist the urge to pause the frame a bunch of times just to see if they got something right or wrong, you may have an OK time... just don't expect much

Nice that it sounds like they used the real King Tiger sound effects library in post-production; I recognize it from the Tiger's first growl... Maxmekker what do u think?

Definitely didn't go into it with the intention of counting rivets as I knew not to inflate my expectations. Sorry, the story was just bad and poor editing. I'll stick with what I originally posted.

Good Afternoon,
No Spoilers but I was troubled by the Severe Twist at the End. A Website review put this down to Bad Hallucinations caused by the combo Caffeine\Meth Pills that the Reich fed to it's troops (and which figure in this movie). I don't know... It gave me Bad Vibes (Moriarty). The Tank was a Decent Broom Job with the biggest detail for me to overlook was the somewhat 2/3 scale size of this tank vs a real Tiger tank. The Crew seems crammed into the vehicle hatches and too large when standing next to der 'Tiger' ( except for the Interior Shots ala 'Fury' ). I'll give it a 'Worth a Watch' (to me)
regards,
Painless
...Money!? What's that!?...
