Don't get me wrong--I am not a gung-ho warmonger. However, intensely preachy movies like this make me want to go out and blow something up--a reaction far different than the writers of this annoying film had in mind. It's an anti-war film that is so heavy-handed and preachy that I can't imagine the average person sitting through the thing. You see, the lead is a young boy whose hair mysteriously turns green. And, it turns out, it happened as a warning and an example to all that war is bad. Wow,...really?! What a major surprise--war is bad! Sorry, please forgive my sarcasm, but instead of giving us a silly movie like this, give us something that isn't so intensely and dreadfully hokey.
Despite all this, the acting is fine and technically this is a decent film but be warned it isn't exactly subtle!
