Enjoyable
The opening sequence where men are being chosen to join the Raiders immediately brought to mind the scenes in The Dirty Dozen where a similar selection processes occurs. In both, men with mental or emotional pathologies are picked, as long as they are ready to fight or die. Of course here, most of the men are of the mom-and-apple-pie variety.
There are some good action sequences once the Raiders reach Makin Island. And raiders they are: Shortly after taking the island they have to leave, destroying everything they can as they go. This was just part of a delaying strategy early in the war done to protect the sea lanes to Australia.
I downloaded the 630MB AVI file, listed as DivX. Video and audio are OK.
