"Thin Red Line" may not be everyone's cup of tea (slow pace,

high woo-woo factor, etc.) but I think most movie buffs can appreciate at least some of the scenes. Plus, aspects of war that are rarely-if-ever brought to the fore in a conventional war flick are given some attention (John Travolta's toadying suck-up, Nick Nolte's desperation to rise up the ranks on the backs of his men) At any rate, as a whole it was made with a professionalism that is head and shoulders above "Big Red". Personally, I'd watch "Thin Red" ten times before I watched another five minutes of "Big Red", if only because "Big Red" is so amateurish.

I'll agree that Malick is not for everyone, but then that's one thing I appreciate about him: like it or not, he's got his own vision, and he sticks to it.
