As a youth I prayed, "Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
Watched this last and really enjoyed it. Saw it in a regular theatre and kind of wished I'd gone to a showing in one with a better/bigger sound system; the sound design was fantastic. I also thought the air battle sequences were really well shot, delivering a lot of tension despite not having a lot of planes in the air.

The time scale framing device was interesting but handled really well, I was afraid that it wouldn't hang together but everything made sense to me and fit together nicely.

As for the sense of scale, the lack of ships/aircraft I thought was explained and made sense in context, but I was never able to buy that there were 400k men waiting for rescue. I don't think I ever saw more than 10-20,000 throughout the film. So that was probably my one gripe with the film but overall it's definitely worth seeing.
