agree: just back from the movie, and 'enjoyed' it greatly.

Read the book last year, and will be interested to see it brought to screen

I have seen the promos etc.
Looks to be a powerful film. I'll wait until DVD.
I am made of soft malleable material and don't think I want to see it in a crowd environment.
We did, however, go and see "The Water Diviner". Not sure if it is being shown overseas, but it was a good flik set during and shortly after WWI. See it if you can.

Howard, a powerful film indeed.
My preference on these ones is the big screen, surround sound experience.
Not quite the same at home on DVD unless you've got a great entertainment system.
Saving Private Ryan, Fury, etc on big screen really give you the "in action experience"

I saw the premier screening of Platoon on a cheap Tuesday on opening day. One place I worked had an auditorium and an early digital projector. The guys used to sign out the keys on the weekends and watch the airbridge and jump scenes from A Bridge Too Far. When I had a chance I went (alone) to see Zero Dark Thirty. Lots of echoes to AFG in the cheap furniture, stationary, plywood offices and intelligence banter. Never got into any heliborne gunfights with senior AQT leadership, so I can't speak to any authenticity there.

Fury was released here in Aus today on DVD, and it wasn't until I watched it through a second time that I saw at least one MLU'ers name right there in the credits, and possibly a second.
