I think all you naysayers and nitpickers are missing the point. This effort at filmmaking makes a lot from nothing. So the "army men" mostly used M16s, so what? I was inrigued by the way the camera moved in some shots. The swiveling heads on a lot of the figures was impressive too.

It was sad to see the tank go though, wasn't it?

I think if we were going to make a stab at it, using our own RC tanks as props, it would fall flat. I like the total reliance on low tech solutions.
