I am at episode 9 in season 1 and I am not watching any more. The story has not moved on from episode one. It reminds me of the Jack Bauer series 24. In every season of 24 Jack Bauer's daughter is kidnapped and Bauer looks for her and then gets her back. Really tedious after the second time. In Aquarius the first episode is just repeated again and again. Also, every episode has something about white people being racist to blacks. Usually there is no rhyme nor reason to it, we are just expected to accept that white people are racist and hateful to non-whites because that is how white people are. Like I mentioned, just leftist propaganda from the usual suspects in Hollywood. Who watches these things and doesn't notice this? It is actually getting hard to find a movie or TV series that doesn't have this type of subversive muck.

Terrible acting.
18 June 2016
The acting in this is dreadful. The story is a big cliché. Nothing new or original. The actor playing Storm Johnson is by far the worst. He starts the film with a Stetson (cowboy hat) (Who goes to a rave in a Stetson? Cringy.) and his acting is way over the top. I'm guessing he went way over the top because he didn't feel comfortable in the role. A person of Arabic ethnicity playing a cowboy? I just counldn't get comfortable with that. They should have picked someone with the right ethnicity or changed the role to suite him. I'm guessing pc had some part in casting for this movie. Also the way over the top macho behavior is really offputing too. Again cringy. I am aware it is a B movie and the actors aren't going to be brilliant but it is hard to like a film where the actors are so bad in so many ways.

I am not a history buff nor am I pedantic about getting the details correct but this movie doesn't make any effort at all. Either the people who wrote it are sloppy or stupid or maybe both.
I can get by poor facts but what I cannot get by is a movie that portrays the protagonists as such animals that you end hating them and hoping the "enemy" kills them. The movie plays triumphalism music when Pitt and the rest break the Genevia convention and then sad music when they get their comeuppance.
The movie has a lot in common with Rambo and Schwarzenegger's commando. Pitt and his murders run along in plain sight of machine gun nests and never get a scratch. While Pitt and the rest shoot, they hit Germans straight between the eye with every shot fired.
Someone should tell Pitt that making movies like this lowers his status among movie goers. Pitt is no longer enough for me to go see a movie now. In my eyes he is no longer A list.
Also, another concern. Not one with the movie, but one with the Movies rating on IMDb. How come the vast majority of reviews are bad and the rating is 7.6? IMDb would need to check if someone interfered with their rating. I watched this movie based on IMDb's rating and needless to say I've lost an hour and a half of my life I will not be getting it back. Very annoying.

Truly the most shocking movie I've ever seen.

I cannot begin to describe this film/documentary. It is a roller coaster rider of emotions. It was recommended to me by a work mate. I was apprehensive as I'm not much of a history buff. I know history from what I learned in school many many years ago.
I thought I would potentially update my knowledge, in fact my whole understanding of what happened leading up to and during the second world war has completely and utter changed. All I can say is we've been lied to from start to finish. I am still trying to get my head around the implications of these lies. I feel that once I do I'm going to be very annoyed at certain people.
In total I have to say this is the best movie I've ever seen. When has anybody every said that a movie has changed them?

More timewasting rubbish from a dying Hollywood.

This was supposed to be a comedy. Yet, I never laughed once. In fact after 15 minutes I was ready to turn it off but I thought I'd save others the 15 minutes and warn people off watching this. So I watched to the end. It was such dross that I now struggle to remember what happened.
Instead of comedy it should have been categorized under embarrassed. I felt embarrassment for the director, the writers and the actors most of all. The same embarrassment I felt when I watched "The Internship"(OMG what a terrible movie) .
The movie felt like something that you would see on YouTube. The acting was terrible it was like a bunch of friends who decided to make a movie for the laugh. I'm sure it made them laugh. It certainly won't make you.

This movie is never going to be a blockbuster but the people who made it know that. It could easily be a cult movie though.
The movie begins in a damp northern English seaside town. A dour depressing poor look and feel. It then moves to the Irish countryside, a wonderfully green forested dilapidated huddle of shacks in the middle of nowhere. A very nice contrast. Then finally the movie moves to the arid South West of the US. Always in run down depressed dingy bars. The scenarios and cinematography is superb.
The actors all played their parts well. A special mention has to be made for Fassbender though. He was superb. He has great screen charisma. He reminds me of Daniel Day Louis. The one criticism I have of Fassbender (and it is a very small one) is that his Irish accent comes through several times in the movie. He is supposed to be American.
My favorite scene is the part where Fassbender sings the song with the words "...Fiddly digits Itchy Britches...I love you all". They could have released that song. It would have made them money.
