It was the noises that bothered me far more than the imagery, I think. Oh yes. The noises were icky too. I contemplated plugging my ears, but since we got there during the trailers and the theater was pretty full and I was therefore sitting by myself, and not with me familia, I felt that that might be a TOUCH obvious.
And I totally agree with you -- the way the energy and chain of command and stuff was portrayed was fascinating. I dare say it met certain idealistic dreams of my Dad's --he used to try and run his family based on a similar model. It never worked though, because he has two daughters, and no sons! And, since he is very cool, he has adapted. He still likes the ethos --or should I say mythos -- of these all male environments, though. He, needless to say, loved the film.
