Possibly weather problems. It does take itself VERY seriously.

I must ask though, what on earth did they spend $12,000,000 on!, any ideas? Yes it is the serious tone that lets it down, its very preachy.

For me, the strengths in the picture are its sprawling photography and Leonard Rosenman's score. It's also likely the most violent PG rated movie I've seen.
