Saw it at the cinema, very well done. The recreated forensic dialogue really brings it to life. Didn't appreciate the muppets with the big tubs of popcorn and coke.

I saw this last weekend and it pulled my heart strings all over the place, it was visually stunning and hunting all at the same time.
It really brought to life what these poor soldiers went through from both sides of the boarder.
Peter Jackson also needs to be commended for a job he did not receive a penny for, I can't imagine the hours he put into this.

Yes this is the one it's incredible. You have to wait to about 15 minutes in to see how the film becomes transformed, but at the point it really blows your mind how it brings the old footage to life. Think it's somewhere round the 40 minutes mark when you see one of the soldiers fire what looks like it could be a No3 Mk1 rifle grenade.
Looks like this is showing up in theaters here in the US at last. Unfortunately, I'm going to be out of town!

Just saw this earlier this week.
Haven’t had a gripping, saddening, inspiring film experience like this in quite some time.
I’m truly impressed with all aspects of this film, from the technology, to the music, to the narrative style, the colorization, the 3D, all the way down to directorial choices made regarding the content.
If I were to ever meet Peter Jackson, I never thought I’d have anything I wanted to talk to him about more than LotR, but this is it.
Marv I think you are correct about the Hales. I believe it is even in the commercials when the fellow blows his own helmet/hat off of his head when launching it.
It was particularly painful to hear the stories of when the war was over, what the soldiers came home to. Sounds somewhat similar to the vast majority of US soldiers’ Viet Nam return home experience. So sad to understand that we never learn. About anything it seems.

Bummed that I completely missed the two screenings this had!
What are you doing in here??? Aren’t you supposed to be getting my V3 all figured out and wrapped up? I’m impatient, man!
It's getting there!

It appears to be in general release now. It's playing at a Regal cinema near me.
I saw that this is playing in 3D at my local theater.
I hope to say that I have seen it before it ends its theatrical run.
