The first time I saw this was recently on tv-- long & long. It was something I was always going to watch -what a let down.

Never saw this film in a theatre. I've read about how "unique" this film was... so I bought the dvd... what a MISTAKE... tried to watch it twice... fell asleep twice. Something is wrong with the audio also... when the characters speak, their voices are so low you'll need to turn up the volume. When the scene changes... the noise/music is so loud... you'll need to turn down the volume.

I guess this is one where you either loved it or hated it... It was so LONG and so BORING. There is nothing in it to keep your attention... Nothing. I fell asleep then left and have no problem not know what happened at the end. A very bad sign for a movie.

Beautiful, haunting, poetic, thought provoking. This movie goes much deeper than the typical war flick, delving into the minds of the soldiers on the frontline; their fears, thoughts and where they draw their inner strength, and the reality and brutality of war. Jim Caviezel's performance as Private Witt is outstanding; his eyes conveying it all without a word! I was thoroughly transfixed throughout the entire length of the movie. If you're only interested in shallow warmonger flicks, this 'ain't for you (although it does have its share of violence) If you're more interested in the human side, the reality of war, this movie will not disappoint.

A masterpiece of pure grace and beauty. Respect to all the crew and cast. The movie must have been God inspired.

This was the greatest war movie to be made yet. It delves into the mind, whereas most war movies only focus on the superficial side. War does serious damage to a persons mind. This movie does a great job at showing that. Albeit if you are going into this movie looking for tons of action, go see Saving Private Ryan or something of that type, but if you want to see the reality of war Thin Red Line is the way to go. The script was well written and Jim Caviezel did an outstanding job as he has done in all his other films (Frequency and the Count of Monte Christo) , and soon to play the lead in Mel Gibson's movie Jesus of Nazareth. One word... GREAT!

Best war movie ever... if only it was just a war movie, but in reality it is much much more... Instead of wanting to see action, bullets and dead guys, watch the movie on IT'S terms. If you want the other things, look for Arnold, or maybe the classic Longest Day, which (if I may say so) actually is a rather good movie! But this one not only blow your mind, it makes such a deep impact on your soul, that the image will hopefully stay with you for the long run. But that is only, if your open for a movie, that does not move in super highspeed!

I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this one... but I do admit it has to be one of the better thought out films I've seen in a number of years. Although everyone has likely had it up to the brim with war films... Terrence Mallick focuses on the inner thoughts not just the exterior... I beleive this is what seperates the others from this epic. A lot of patrons won't have the tolerance for the length of the film... but personally I beleive it to be a worthwhile experience all around. Great cinematography coupled with superb acting... you can't ask for more these days.

This film's not about shoot'em up thrills. There's no John Wayne or Schwarzenegger or some other ridiculous larger than life guy who is impervious to bullets & knows no fear. The outstanding character portrayals are of young men --courageous, miserable, and so very afraid of killing & being killed. The film's tempo, its images, its dialogue, its duration, & its refreshing subtlety in action, create a tension representative of the overwhelming feeling of terror that builds as soldiers approach a battlefield. The Thin Red Line suburbly conveys the physical & (especially) the psychological cruelties of war. If only it were simply good fiction.

This movie wasn't bad I would watch it again but the start of it was a bit slow.
