This time the sequence lasted 14 minutes and is even more breathtaking. Every element of this sequence - the horsemanship, the photography by Dean Semler, the editing by Adrian Carr - is praiseworthy...

Unfortunately, despite all of the other briefings and countless subtitles identifying various general's headquarters, I was disoriented almost all the way through the movie.

Creaky Australian WWI saga doesn't improve with age.
