***con Brio's Ultimate "Tears of the Sun" Review***

This movie was awesome. I just got back from seeing it. It gives a really good depiction of the efforts of a squad (about 7) of Navy SEALs fighting for a very good cause. The scripting was beautiful; the visuals were beautiful; the cinematography was excellent. Most striking was when the explosions and airstrikes occured, I could feel my seat actually rumbling! (Surround sound rules!) I got a feeling, during the movie, that such a plot could happen in real life - don't ask me if it's based on a true story or not because I don't know, but I don't think it is. Anyways, forget what all of the other high-key critics have said about this movie and listen to what the everyday shmoe has to say about this movie. I mean, look: we like to play video games based on wars, and we enjoy military history. We also like the strategy of elite teams and watching it play out. Therefore, you will like this movie. I know I did.

And on another note, I saw a woman bring in four children to see the movie. I don't know what she was thinking, because the movie was not made for the kids. In terms of gore, there is some gore in the movie, but not enough to make you hurl. Actually, the gore was very limited in this movie, to be honest. This movie could probably pass as PG-13. (It's rated 14A here in Winnipeg.) You will not get grossed out. If you do, then you're a pussy. freak:

And on another note: when I saw a resistance fighter using a rocket launcher, one word came to my mind: "noob!" biggrin: (Thanks to all of you guys for instilling that way of thinking in my head.)
