I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Powerful

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a load of pretentious overblown rubbish with a ridiculous and totally absurd plot. The characters are caricatures, the direction is leaden. As others have commented- the battle scene at the end is well done - unfortunately you have to put up with the rest - wasting 90 minutes of your life

Passchendaele is the biggest pile or fantasy ridden rubbish to have ever spun round in my blue-ray player. I would rather eat a slice of ham that has been festering in one of chunks fat flaps that have my retinas assaulted with this abortion of a film again..This film has produced one of the most comical battle scenes I have ever seen. The main guys young comrade falls into a German trench and was just about to be shot when an artillery shell lands in the trench blowing him and the duck-boards he was lying on out into no mans land...after the smoke clears the young soldier is crucified to the duck boards, facing his comrades, spread out like Jesus....stuck upright in the mud...I half expected to hear someone shout HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH, HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY....however, as I watched the main guy run through no mans land, dodging bullets, cries of COVERING FIRE bellowing out the mouths of his comrades I did not expect what was about to follow...He then, with the help of the Germans who have all stopped firing, takes down the cross and starts dragging it back to his side.. all that was missing was a crown of thorns...I turned the turgid mess off after that...I was tempted to watch for comedy value but my soul had already suffered...How on earth this movie won any type of award is beyond me...Please never buy this film, its terrible, rent it...laugh...then thank the lord that you read my review

This is a film which tries very hard to look at the British's comrades from the Commonwealth, although there is not nearly enough light shed on the living conditions in the trenches. What films such as this tend to forget is that most of WW1 was spent in freezing mud, rather than heroic stands against German machine guns. And let's not forget that the British had machine guns too. Most of the cavalry, having failed on horseback, were re-trained as machine-gunners. But I digress.Don't get me wrong, this film had some genuinely nice moments. But a love scene practically on the battlefield? I'm sorry Mr. Gross, that's going too far. What was even more irritating than that was the fact that said scene was in-dispersed with shots of the war raging behind. Come on, don't mix your themes please, it makes the viewer think that you don't know what you're doing. This, to some extent, is not true. The camera-work, in particular, is actually very impressive, and the battle scenes are very well executed. Caroline Dhavernas is actually pretty good, but this does not compensate for the negatives.Namely, the fact that the story-line is so clichéd. A man sent home from the war who is perfectly fit and capable seems unlikely (at the least) from the start. But it just gets worse. A blundering and horrible mustachioed fat recruiting officer who also just happens to be British? Let's see if we can find any more blatant stereotypes? German soldiers more often than not depicted as pathetic teenagers? Of course, why not? Oh, yes, that's right, it's because it is absolute tripe. A weedy boy who is so patriotic he fights for his country anyway, like we haven't seen that one a thousand times before. Oh, and of course, an absolutely perfect Hero, who can make anybody fall in love with him, and still spout badly written rhetoric about his homeland. And this is another gripe I have with the film. The dialogue is an integral part of any film, but, in this department, Gross has failed. It is full to the brim with clichés, and staggers around making everyone sound like they should be - well, I don't know, but it is really badly written. So there's some really nice work on this film, but for the big screen, it's just not really up to scratch.

For the production cost of this film you would think they could have hired a screenwriter! To be fair the visuals were often stunning. The recreation of famous scenes from the Ypres salient were remarkable, including Frank Hurley's iconic 1917 image of Australian solders on a duck board track in Château Wood.Coincidence follows coincidence as the viewer is asked to suspend disbelief on a scale matching "Pearl Harbor." Michael, Sarah, and David eventually make their separate ways from Calgary, Alberta those thousands of miles to the Western Front in wind up in the exact same unit. And if this is not enough, the evil protagonist from back home soon materializes to torment them once again.But like coincidence, metaphor piles on metaphor, unjustified and heavy handed. Visual references to the passion and crucifixion in the final battle scenes were completely baffling.The disappointment is that this film could have been so much more! There is boundless sadness and irony in this most tragic and pointless battle in a supremely tragic and pointless war. Why not skip the cheap tricks and make a film about that?
