3.0

It’s very reflective on the war, and very emotional. However, I feel like it lacked isn’t the sense of connecting the emotion. There was definitely scenes that evoked some emotion, but nothing that really was a breathtaking emotional moment. With everything going on in the plot, I feel that there was many opportunities to do this, and it just didn’t happen. Still very good though. The end was a little anticlimactic as well, since it kind of just dropped off and ended flat.
