I have seen many war films (Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Paths of Glory, etc.) and this is the most visually stunning. The cinematography is mind-blowing, and the music adds so much to the experience.
This movie is also extremely brutal. The violence is almost non-stop, and when the film does give you, and the characters, time to breathe, you know it's going to be short-lived.
Without spoiling anything, the ending is as close to perfect as you can get with a movie like this. The message of the movie is conveyed not by words, but by images, giving the movie a truly timeless feel that transcends language.
In short, give this movie your time and attention. It deserves it.
