I put off watching this movie for 18 years. I knew it for what it was when it first came out, and after finally watching it (refusing to pay a nickel to watch it), I was as disappointed with it as I knew I would be. The movie does not so much serve as a war film as a smorgasboard of liberal anti-war angst in a montage of disconnected philosophical, rudderless platitudes adrift in the sea of a meaningless human journey attempting to find a meaning to life. The war serves only as a backdrop to the bigger question of the meaning of life, and less that than liberal preachiness about life as Godless and meaningless. Like those who have no grounding in a God who loves us and has revealed himself to us that we might have meaning in Him and a destiny of eternal joy with Him for those who trust in Him, the movie is just as lost. For the most part, poorly cast, waste your time only if you get really bored and don't have any loaded pistols or barbituates in the household. I give it a two only for its gorgeous camerawork in Queensland, Australia's Daintree Rainforest.
