I'm interested!
True... something more subtle would have been better.
Come again?
She showed some leg in the first scene and these students are very young. She might have seduced him...
I think they killed the astronauts as they found them.
They were only the two helicopters and the guys piloting them available to do the dirty work, because they couldn't risk having more people in the know.
It's clear that they had to eliminate the astronauts to save the conspiracy, and they had to give it their best shot with the resources available.
Keeping the astronauts alive meant schlepping them around in the helicopters after they found them, which would slow down the helicopters with additional weight and would introduce the risk of having these passengers starting a struggle aboard. They would not be able to risk anything that would slow down finding the other astronauts.
As I said, they would have to give their best shot, and this means killing on sight.
As for the heat shield accident, I think it was an actual accident that caught them off guard. Maybe even caused by the course change for the charade.
I just did a Google picture search "australian soldiers vietnam".
All without helmets...
Thank you for your pretty important review.
I liked the movie, too!
Oh, by the way: why did they not have any helmets?
I agree with your review.
There are moments in this movie that I would not have wanted to miss, and will enjoy with delight again in the near future.
But these moments hang together by barely a storyline.
This actually could have been a great movie.
Well, Hollywood is usually all about happy endings, but Ryan Gosling is now starring in two tragic love stories?
Also, the time shifting episode at the end reminded my of the before/after structure of "Blue Valentine"...
