Not what I expected
Looking at the synapse and the previous 10 star reviews, I was so excited to watch this movie and continuously looked for months just to find it with English subs. Finally, I found it on IQIYI and ended up paying for a 1 month VIP($7.99) just so I could get the chance to watch it.Let's start on a positive note. The organization of the movie is like none that I've seen before. If you've watched older Disney tv shows where each episode was neither a continuation of the last episode nor a completely new story, this is kind of how this movie is. It's basically divided into different sections focusing on different events, but at the same time the main points are still there. I don't personally love that, but that's more of a personal preference. Aside from that, the characters were cute and seeing some character development was also nice. It was a good ending, so no complaints there.
The negatives:
Honestly, there really wasn't much of a story. It started off with a bit of a story as we see the lead couple hit it off, but after that, it felt like a blur of events that were somehow squished into a movie with not so great organization. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but definitely could've been better. Maybe this is meant for a younger age group than me, but I found it very childish. The lead couple seemed so immature and I felt like I was watching a silly teenage movie with very young couples rather than college students. This probably was meant for a different and younger group of people. I'm a grown adult with little interest in school dramas, so I guess that explains it.
Final note:
I expected to see a mature military drama, but instead got the opposite. There was a few minutes of some military in the beginning, but then it was a normal college with absolutely nothing to do with military. Hopefully someone out there will enjoy it depending on personal preference, but unless you find it for free, I don't recommend spending close to $10 on it.
Thanks for reading!
