It's a great revival of the franchise, although it's actually not a reboot.

I was 8 years old when this was filmed in my home town. I remember being really miffed that the West Pier, one of my favourite haunts, had been placed off limits, and during the school summer holidays, too! I mean, why would anyone want to make a film about the first world war on the pier, of all places?, I argued petulantly. That view didn't change when I was taken to see the film the following year- its messages went right over my 9 year old head. It wasn't until nearly 10 years later, and studying history, that I went back to OWALW, and this time i was spellbound, deeply moved, and remembered that summer holiday slight, as a tiny sacrifice which had been worth making. And yes, i did see the irony of that "sacrifice", too!

The music isn't the point. The music furthers the plot. It's the same as the music in "The Big Chill." Also, this movie isn't somewhat surrealistic - it's meant to be both very realistic and surrealistic at the same time. I worked with Richard Attenborough on Gandhi and had a long talk with him on OWALW. His imaginative use of the real, staged and surreal is fabulous and meant to drive home the point of the film. If you are going to review films, it "might be nice" if you learned something about history and about film. Just for instance, sweetie, the red poppy isn't an accident as you would know if you know anything about WW1. Lord have mercy.

3:25 Katawa Shoujo reference??

red dawn was already bad on its own so nothing was lost, the movie was balant propaganda and honestly none of it made sense, Like come on now, Screaming and crying when their own people get massacred but when massacring soviets right back even when they are in tears begging for mercy suddenly its okay and cool?, parts of the movie where it would have made sense for the script to go like, "Wait, The commies are human beings too just like us, Is killing them execution style a bad thing maybe?" they never did, even when there was a traitor, The kid saying his father set him up and he was under brutal pressure, likely threatening the deaths of his family members to become a rat for the soviets, and then executed him for it even after the explanation. then also the impossible blindness of the spetznas scene with the rat, where you had elite soviet special forces walking thru the woods, somehow not seeing the girl with her black hair in the middle of the white snow staring at them with a machine gun 10 metres away, I mean come on now these aren't recruit soldiers its the fucking spetznas. Like i know movies from this time period are already crazy with their logic like terminator, and rambo, but what is different with them is that they were badass and made sense, people like rambo actually existed, There was a belgian veteran 2 years ago that went rogue in belgium for example, apparently having a sniper rifle and a anti-tank launcher on hand, since he was so experienced and a commando with multiple combat missions under his belt, Even the soldiers of the regular army were afraid to enter the woods where he was hiding because the thing is, Just like Rambo 1, They wouldn't have been hunting him, But he would have been hunting them in those woods, And well with Terminator its a machine made of steel beating the shit out of everything, But what red dawn did was too bad and made 0 sense or logic, even in the slightest it failed to make any sense, As in any realistic scenario the teenage boys with their hunting experience would have easily been cleared out, As hunting experience isn't combat training.

You alright man?

We need a 3rd one…….maybe modern?

Trash racist memes. Trash videos. Trash channel. Trash person.

Is the title a PM reference?

please make a tutorial on how to get uniforms! I know there are some guys that give uniforms all the time, but I only know one guy on the spaghetti airport mission. Holy cow, it would help so much

What I find quite amazing about this game and also other LS3D engine games is that I still discover things about them that I didn't know 20 years later

Lets quote some german gaming press from back then: "The Halo Killer" - Giga "Thanks to its great visuals, the many types of vehicles and weapons, and the rich selection of characters, Breed is considered by experts to be serious competition for the upcoming action blockbuster Halo 2." - ComputerBild Spiele. "A playful and visual fireworks display gives hope for an action-packed, visually impressive shooter that is probably the biggest competitor for Halo." Justgamers Did they played a diffret game?

Honestly one of my favourite games ever. I love that you love it too. I personally love the tactical view, and I make a point to use it as much as possible. It actually helps to make the levels easier and quicker as you don't have to play every character. If you equip the right items and give the correct tasks to the right skills such as accuracy for the sniper you can AFK quite a few enemies

If they kept the Chinese plot, it probably would of been a lot better

This was a pretty great review. I appreciated the snappy jokes and your sympathetic attitude toward the game. A weaker man would just complain about everything in it, but you gave credit to the game's positive aspects along with it's mistakes, which I thought was cool. Still kind of a garbage game, but one made with love. That radio show at the end was ridiculous lmao

Yeah....the remake is a mix...somethings they did were better....others were step backwards.... The first will always be a masterpiece and a blazing symbol of the cold war.

The remake wasn't all that bad lol its never making the best movies ever made category..but for a first watch it was OK lol 😆

It’s much better than the point break reboot 💁🏻‍♂️

It is not great, the premise just makes you burst into cacophonous laughs but it is okay.

The fact the video is 19:49 minutes long and this is about china💀🗿

To be fair, if there is one thing the remake did better than the original is that it did a better job of showing who the Wolverines were prior to the invasion. Like, you get to see what their lives are like as typical teenagers before everything goes to shit for them, as opposed to the original, where it only shows what it's like maybe just an hour or so before the invasion. That being said, since Amazon now has MGM and all of its intellectual properties, if they ever try to pull the trigger on revisiting the Red Dawn IP, I would suggest making it into a streaming series for Amazon Prime. Have it set in the universe of the original film, the alternate Cold War world that heated up into World War III. Get a good showrunner to develop it, my personal suggestion being Craig Mazin, who developed both Chernobyl and the adaptation of The Last of Us for HBO MAX. Show other aspects of this universe, like maybe show other Resistance groups apart from the Wolverines in other parts of Occupied America. And it won't have to be action exclusively. You could have an episode in the style of The West Wing or House of Cards that shows how whatever remains of the US Government is doing in response. (For example: was then-President Ronald Reagan killed in the nuclear blast on Washington DC that Andrew Tanner mentioned, making it so that George H.W. Bush ended up becoming President much earlier via ascension.) Also maybe show some episodes that take place outside of Occupied America. The original film implies that Canada may have suffered from a Soviet invasion as well, show an episode that tells the story of the joint US-Canadian military operation that stopped the Soviets coming through Alaska and Northwest Canada got their progress halted that Tanner talked about. Maybe show an episode that takes place in Russia when the war starts to take its toll on the Russian people. Are there Russian citizens who in private oppose the war and the invasion, and when it starts becoming too costly for them, do they risk getting executed or being sent to the gulag by openly protesting the Soviet government's decision to invade? How does this invasion affect Germany, as it was still divided between West Germany and East Germany? What about foreign bases? Is North Korea taking advantage of the US being incapacitated to either take South Korea by brute force or launching nukes at Japan? (Seriously, in the original 1984 film, I can't imagine that US military forces stationed in Japan or South Korea were on a great situation, especially being that close to the USSR at the time.) Does Western Europe (outside of the UK) ever have a change of heart in maybe supporting the beleaguered Soviet-occupied USA? How is the Middle East affected, not just with what was going on in Afghanistan at the time, but what is Israel's response? Is Saudi Arabia pissed off at the USSR for them invading the nation that is their best customer for buying oil? Is this affecting the Iran-Iraq War, which was going on at the time? Seriously, if done with some good writers and a good showrunner, I think a Red Dawn streaming series could be VERY GOOD.

Chinese movies are all propaganda. All American films depicts facts.

What’s your accent?

this is halarious gj

The shitty remake Of a shitty original Both shit Tho the first one at least Nevermind Both were shit And yay, offscreen winnin the war

Compared to what? The Rambo franchize (after the first movie)? Movies where the US always saves the world? Movies were the US President single-handedly fights terrorists himself?

Americans calling every chinese war movie propaganda are the same idiots that dont realize top gun is American propaganda

I worked all night in the oilfield, drove back home and stayed up all day to watch the remake at 5pm and was REALLY disappointed. I had a WTF moment. I was on deployment when the original came out and really didn’t hear anything about it, so I caught it during a matinee off base downtown. I had to rewatch it because I couldn’t believe I never heard anything about it, and after the second time I REALLY liked it. I will continue to watch it from time to time, the remake? Probably to just look at what the video pointed out. It’s bad.

Holy jeeze, someone remembers Breed! Thanks!

A good review In case you didn't played for long - check Mind Over Matter mod the next time you come around. Arguably one of coolest and funniest modifications game had so far

"It's trial and error through and through and the only way to avoid it is to cheese the AI" Or cheat codes. God mode, ghost mode, terrorists surrender mode...

Beautiful video well done.

I hated both movies, the original because its propaganda made me feel that the emotional moments were manipulative. I hated the remake more, because at least the original had some identity and it was decent as an action film, while the remake its just a boring, forgattable and generic action film.

2:30 YES. Units should 100% flee or fall back to the nearest "cover". NOT just backwards randomly. Maybe you can leave that as another level of suppression and a unit just panicking and fleeing. Which I don't think is actually modeled besides a surrender? But that way they'll normally fall back to cover, unless you're pinning with MG, dropping mortars and advancing on them or hitting them with a tank or artillery. That could then cause them to flee like they do now when falling back. 4:15 I like the frontline. It's gamey but in reality, the game is already too big in scope, there's too much to do etc. Having to actually hunt down and notice a push, while maybe it should be an option to turn off, I do think in the end it makes the game more enjoyable. Maybe there could be a perk of some elite units allowing to advance without a frontline move. 6:55 For sure I wish there was actual terrain in the game. There's no cliffs, hills, valleys, mountains or anything like that.

The og red dawn has a charm to it. The environment changing as it turns to winter was such a good choice as well. It has some very being scenes.

Be as cool as the Chinese think we are

The tau empire theme in the beginning!

If you know your WW1 history, and are well read on the topic, this movie is perfect! If you have been absorbing Hollywood movies on WW1 then you will be confused. I would also add that is a depiction of the events that happened and the impact they had on a family. To call it "anti-war" to me is not quite on target. When most people think of "anti-war" they bring to mind some Vietnam Era Hollywood product that bashes the soldiers. This is a unique product and can not be easily labeled. Thanks for doing this review. No scenes should have been cut - each tells a part of the story. Don't you feel the the sense of utter futility when the crowd slowly empty the scene by driving off the protesters? (4:56) mark. I hope you know that the songs were authentic to the era but the soldiers adapted the words to reflect conditions. As the movie progresses so to does the mood. Your nit pics about not being able to distinguish characters when they change clothing or appearance makes me wonder about you. Perhaps this movie is from an earlier era when people invested time, emotion, and thought into a film. This is one of the riches films out there. 8:07 is the Battle of the Frontiers: 1914 where the French, following Plan 17, charged directly into the German kill zones. One of the biggest blood baths in history. The first reality wake up call to happen in 1914.

There were also other Chinese propaganda films such as My War and the Chinese sniper guy both Korean War and Towards the Glorious River about the Chinese Civil War where the Reds successfully crossed the Yangtze to dfeat the KMT in the south

Russian man you are?

if your a SISSY NORMIE you could play Neo Scavenger, the more streamlined and inbred cousin of CDDA (courtesy of sseth). Its pretty fun

Ay yo Indian moment

Chris Hemsworth are comparison on top the same with Patrick Swayze 😅

Why didn't they include Marocchinate units?

I think both games are good in their own right. Both do things better than the other. The abilities and all are great in dawn of war 2 . But the buildings and all I miss from dawn of war 1 and if I had to choose I would love for them to remaster dawn of war 1 and give it a graphical uplift and fix the camera without the use of a mod. Such good games. Really hope they take another stab at it. Would love to see a dawn of war 4 with the base building of 1 and the army abilities of 2. Now that would be a great game plus last stand was super fun!

I get the error entitled as: "Scripting: out of vehicle def space" whenever I run the game. Has anyone managed to fix this?

China always using Russians as Americans

Does this have different campaigns for different sides (soviet, german, japanese) , or is it the same-old (American & Brits) all over again?

Spokane is NOT on the coast people
