Lengthy, lethargic and lackluster Altman lecture that might have played better in 1968, instead of 1983. Today, it seems positively prehistoric. The dialogue is relentlessly moribund and depressing, as recruits "chat" throughout the film. I'm sure Robert Altman was aiming for a claustrophobic feel to STREAMERS; but it never escapes the viewer that they're watching a closed set play, instead of a movie. By the way, is there anyone left on the planet that doesn't know people die in war, and they should be avoided??? Much like this movie. Not recommended
