Director Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel. The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.
The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way never seen before.

Looks endearing. Weird cast but it's Lee so I'm sort of obligated to be there.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah this looks great. Lee's gonna bring something more to it than the average war film and this is a very unique concept. That was already better than American Sniper.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Beautiful trailer.

When an potential Oscar contender starts with 17% on RottenTomatoes it's not good.

i still respect Ang Lee for experimenting and trying something new . from a directors point of view.

i remember reading years ago that a 2K movie with 48 frames per second gives you so much information that it looks like more resolution. this movie was filmed in 4K, 120 frames per second and 3D. the amount of information and detail.
