It's a solid cast and director but that trailer just looked cheap.

Felt the same, like a made for TV flick almost. Still, looking forward to this so far.

Really enjoyed this, the cinematography was crazy excellent. This first hour or so seemed like one uninterrupted shot.

Wouldn't be surprised if Sam Mendes wins for best director.

Is there strong story and character development in this?

I didn't really like the Nolan film from a few years ago, Dunkirk. It was rather dry and didn't really deserve a Best Picture nom imo.

The story is very simplistic, two soldiers need to get from point A) to point B) before X-hour or something bad will happen to a bunch of other soldiers.

There's character development in it for the two mains, but it's tidbits here/there, it works though imo. The story is about 90% focused on them and the journey. The supporting characters they meet along the way, you only a surface feeling for them, but it works in the greater story.

This movie is all about the views though, there's some absolutely terrific camerawork in this and the "reality" of war depicted here is both visceral and in your face visual.

Still haven’t seen it yet. I’m not big on watching war movies in the theater. I need the pause and walk it off option on those. Definitely planning to catch it though!
