Because, after the stunning war actions in "Save private Ryan", "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific" series, "Letters from Iwo Jima" and so on, we (the average public) want to see something better than few soldiers running in a forest, some guns firing and tank duels involving two or three vehicles. 29 out of 35 found this helpful.

The old school movie mandatorily adds women and children to plotwise useless roles to create the so called drama, but in Tali-Ihantala you get no Rambos, no cheese, no political ubercorrectness and nothing else but just war as it realistically should be, within production limitations of course. It's not a documentary. Synopsis. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? Was this review helpful? A documentary requires clarity, but here, after almost 2 hours, you understand nothing about the 1944 Soviet offensive in Finland: you can see the reenactment of only a very little portion of the entire campaign, basically no maps (indeed, there is a map which explains quite nothing: no names of units involved in a scale too large to be useful) and no statistics at all. The Battle of Tali-Ihantala was the largest battle ever fought in the history of the Nordic countries.
Was this review helpful? Russia, 1917, WWI. It's a unique case of a real Democracy which fought alongside Nazi Germany against Soviet Union while preserving its own liberty inside. There are no real deep characters, no real dramas, no decent analysis of the conflict, It's as we're watching some sort of a truly amateur school project about war.
I went to great pains to import copies of TALVISOTA, both versions of TUNTEMATON SOTILAS, BEYOND THE FRONT LINE (a good, less-ambitious run-up to this film), and AMBUSH.

The tale of a platoon of soldiers during the Continuation War. While they may have their reasons, for a wider audience I can't think of many better films on WW2. It is indeed a very controversial war episode: outside Finland, while the Winter War (1939-40) is broadly known and morally accepted, the Continuation War (1941-44) is always a taboo. If CGI is already invented and introduced in cinema industry (I'm sorry for all the nostalgic of pre-CGI era), please use it! And here I see no screenplay, just series of little textbook-style discussions about tactics, with no emotions involved.

Since most Finns have at least an elementary grasp of the timeline and locations of the events, you can understand better what is happening in front of you.
