Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Interesting to see a war from the German perspective but a very boring TV show over all. Watching this requires you to suspend all logical ideas about the scope of the war and locations involved as all the five friends separated by war are always near each other despite supposedly being separated by hundreds of kilometers. They all meet up in impossible situations time after time after time.As a WW2 and war movie fan I can honestly say I will never watch this again and except for some scenes involving the brothers and the jewish guy I was bored the entire time and couldn't have cared less about what was occurring.Angela Merkel propaganda makes an appearance as the Poles (the ones she is angry about for not accepting migrants) are shown to hate the jews more than the Nazis.

Bad Poles, good Nazis, and if by the end of watching this german sci-fi drama/propaganda you still think Nazis were the bad guys, then you congrats! You're not a sheep.

I already heard a lot of good criticism when I finally managed to watch this movie, which is not so common for most German films or series.With the variety of films and books already published on this topic it is not too easy to stand out and really create an impact. Even though I'm always skeptical towards "tv-events", I do think that this production has some points.First of all it shows you war in all it's absurdity, where friends become enemies, lose track, lose themselves and find together again in some cases. It shows that we should be very careful nowadays to talk about war and that peace is not a burden but a gift. Time and again it is awful to see what humans are capable of under the wrong circumstances or leadership. At several points in this plot, people cross each others ways again and you get to learn how different their paths went on.The acting is solid, the plot not predictable. It is a very German movie, I still don't really get why one can always tell that at first sight, but it probably has something to do with the way it is produced.My one major point of critique is that too often this movie isn't brave enough. It is just outstandingly unlikely that five people of such different origins would have survived that long. Since the movie is said to be based on real characters maybe indeed something unlikely happened but still there are several points throughout the movie where in my eyes the film had benefited if one of the characters really died instead of just making the audience think so to rise again due to some lucky chain of events.Still it is a powerful movie and everyone that needs to be remembered why peace is always the right choice to be made should maybe give it a try.

Perfect, like Band of Brothers, The Pacific or Genertion Kill It is everybody's right to tell a story about what is interesting to him or her. And make a background plot just useful thing without going into any details - just make it flat as in this film. But when those who are responsible and guilty transfer their main crime (hate to Jews) to others it is morally doubtful and, to me, disgusting. Someone from Chine above mentioned that Nazi hurt other nations: Poles, Russian and even Germans. I ask you: Who were Nazis then? Some other nation? NO! NO! NO! They were Germans!!!! Not some virtual Nazis. Nazism was just a political form of government in German, that is all.
