What are your thoughts on the movie?
I saw it tonight and it made me laugh, but overall a great action movie!
It's a great Vietnam movie, especially because they take you through from the beginning where they started at 'boot camp' and the whole experience of how the story and characters developed along the way. It's one of my favorite war movies.
Here is my review of the 1987 Stanley Kubrick classic "Full Metal Jacket". *THIS VIDEO IS PROTECTED BY THE FAIR USE ACT* *NO COPYRIGHT ...
Another blow to "The Big Year" comes from its crudely executed special effects. The CGI depictions of birds and snow were astonishingly poor. It seemed as if the special effects team had run out of time, or had at least forgotten to smooth out a few kinks and rough edges.
Surprisingly enough, it isn't the big names, but the birds that actually save the film. If you have any interest whatsoever in birds, go see this movie — they are truly a spectacle. You will learn about their migrating and mating habits, and catch glimpses of some rare and exotic species. There is a beautiful scene involving two bald eagles that makes this film almost entirely worth watching.
The soundtrack isn't bad either. After all, any film with the song "Surfin' Bird" is probably worth watching — see "Full Metal Jacket" (1987).
Impressive cinematography redeems "The Big Year's" CGI failings to a point; its nature shots are breathtaking. A few quirky directorial choices are refreshing, like the montage sequence at the beginning of the film. The segment is stylistically reminiscent of "Juno" (2007); a quirky song plays as handwriting fills the screen.
