Jack, an Alaskan ex patriot, returns to his Fairbanks home following the death of his wife. He is full of anger, guilt and depression. His reclusive lifestyle is challenged when he meets a graduate student who is investigating the affects of the mining operations on a local water source. The film was shot on location in Fairbanks. The cinematography is beautiful and genuine. There is nothing fake or stereotypical about the portrayal of the subarctic summer and lifestyle. Filmed during in mid-June during the longest day of the year, the cinematographer and the director make excellent use of the midnight sun and the seasonal beauty unique to this part of the world. For this Fairbanksan, it was refreshing to see a film where Interior Alaska is portrayed with such integrity. Daniel Ponickly, who stars as Jack delivers a good performance as the widower who is lost in his grief. Ponickly also wrote the screenplay. This is the second full length feature film for director Zoe Quist. Her first film, Raw Cut, a thriller was also filmed in a panoramic environment -Dubois, WY- she made excellent use of the natural beauty of the environment. Through these two different stories, Quist proved her directing talent and ability. Newcomer Carrie Baker, and veteran Mischa Barton give very good performances. I would have liked to see more of Barton. Syd Wilder, is very convincing as the waitress with a heart of gold and a body for sin as are very convincing in their bad boy roles Jonathan Bennett and Levi Ben-Israel. Billy Zane is well cast as a UAF School of Geophysics professor, Toly Ramirez wrote the score for Mining for Ruby, as he did the haunting music for Raw Cut. The length of the film is 95 minutes and this writer found them to be a very enjoyable way to rediscover his home town.
战略是长远的，战役是惨烈的，战士是可敬的，电影却十足平庸，想面面俱到的结果就是不知所云。许多戏存在的意义还没提炼出来，就被一场又一场的战争场面轰炸感官。聚焦在某一场战役，注重角色的心路历程，多做减法有那么难吗？别人家的战争片视听语言已经内卷到“没个影史之最都不好意思拿出手”，我们还停留在：纵观全片，连个印象深刻的影像画面都挑不出来。
从人物视角看历史事件更容易体现战争的残酷，但好像战争的宏大和历史意义又稍欠缺。三个小时不觉得长，结尾还觉得有点不够。为国捐躯真是男人的终极浪漫…
✨ 喜欢的角色
虽然长达三小时，但剧情流畅，全程看下来不觉得乏味无趣，三个导演的分工明确，没有衔接不自然的地方。没有刻意煽情，战争场面该有的也都有了，总体来说比较优秀。或许有瑕疵，但个人认为瑕不掩瑜。
林超贤对战争的把控很到位啊，还是挺不错的可以看看。
每一颗炮弹，每一簇战火，每一滴血珠都历历在目，直击在身，很难不在血淋淋的激斗中真切感受到身为战士们的艰辛与壮烈
看来战狼单挑坦克已成习惯，加上各种装甲炸飞猛男凹造型，尸横遍野血雾肉屑，暴力场面审查无顾虑外加资金无上限，林超贤和徐克估计玩得挺爽；伟光正人物刻画和突兀文戏政宣台词和网大质感CG就直接忽略掉吧，这个大环境反正也不可能拍出啥严肃历史战争反思的东西，只能靠民族情绪裹挟试探着类型片之路，都不容易……
我对抗美援朝这段历史了解得不多，对电影所呈现出来的战争的艰苦和中美两方的差距还是非常震惊的。感谢所有先辈们的牺牲。
后面战争场面好精彩，中国军队好勇敢，好感人😭
片长太长，个别情节与历史事实有出入，演员表演总体到位，还算对的起票价吧
剧情拖沓，不需要刻意煽情的地方一直煽情，在看到中华的大好儿郎踏上火车的时候我就泪目了，这都是中国的孩子，中国的军人，这一去能回来多少，又有多少现在还埋骨他乡呢，愿我的祖国越来越强大。
转折有点生硬，情节有点混杂，特效有点尴尬...结果最后我还是给了四星
“希望下一代 能够活在一个没有硝烟的年代”，如今繁华盛世，如你所愿❤️。
原来不间断的爆炸也算是带有催眠效果的白噪声，我上次大白天在影院睡着还是看「变形金刚4」，真诚推荐给最近睡眠不好的朋友，即便你在观影时没睡着，看完之后大概率也会累的想赶紧睡一觉。
哪有什么岁月静好，只不过有人替你负重前行。
题材不错，特效也很好，但故事讲得稀烂……首先，虽然千玺弟弟演得不错，但好像删掉这个人物也不影响任何剧情；其次就是一场战役被切割得支离破碎，节奏奇怪且冗长，很容易出戏；最后想说观影体验，前排看战争镜头非常眩晕（本来运镜也很乱），以及大概三分之二的时候，就开始陆续有小孩子满场跑了……综上，看在本片烧了很多钱的份上，打及格分吧。
不管是百里千里，还是万里，都抵不过电影本该拥有真情实感的一里。
国家强盛才能不被欺负。
另外把美国描写的太菜了，其实完全没必要的，对手有多强大，才证明志愿军更强。别学抗日神剧那套！
