As some others already pointed out - the main reason we watch movies is entertaining. The movie gives us some of that. If not for the abundance of similar movies, I would maybe got entertained. As I have seen plenty this was not so much fun. Still it was not bad. The actors tried and they almost succeeded to make the wholes and silliness of the script disappear. The dialog was sometimes not very matching the action but then again we all do such things in very odd situations so maybe this is OK. As with many military oriented movies this one fails on tactics but then it is not all bad. Even the main villain is not so bad and got some character from the writers.
If not for the few awkward moments I would not even mind so maybe I am just saturated with movies showing the glorious US military and its soldiers sacrificing their lives for the greater good of everybody. The problem is that I do not believe that anymore but the main issue with this movie is: even if it were moved into scifi territory - fighting aliens or between factions of the stellar empire etc. It would stil have the wholes and silly moments and not fitting characters. If you do not expect too much from the movie and just have to spend some time w/o too much thinking - it is OK. Do not expect the epic. The movie had its chance but the scripters did mess this up. Not even the good actors could carry this to real enjoyment.
It had potential as even the side characters were given some time and development. I want to be generous which is why it got 5 from me because they triad and because of the actors work. The script sacked tho even if the subject was great and it spent good time to develop depth it just lacked coherence.
