19-year-old Billy Lynn is brought home for a victory tour after a harrowing Iraq battle. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, we see what really happened to his squad – contrasting the realities of war with America's perceptions. Check out the final trailer for Ang Lee's BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK.

As you can see, a lot of the blurbs in the trailer make mention of the technology used to shoot this movie. This particular film was shot specifically for 3D in an ultra-high 120 frames per second. The film definitely has a hyper-realistic look to it, although note that there aren't many venues with dual-projectors that can display 120 FPS, so keep that in mind if you're looking to see this film in theaters as intended. That aside, the movie looks to be every bit as powerful as Lee's previous efforts.

BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK opens in select theaters on November 11th and everywhere on November 18th.
