A classic war movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2019)

Those that say the movie is boring and not well made do not understand the real greatness of this film. Being made before cgi festivals like Man of Steel and having to use practical effects for every single scene is a diffucult task and the film makers executed to the greatest extent possible. There are almost no words to describe how good this movie truly is. It fees real, like you are actually there (with only a few scenes being exceptions) and I feel invested in the story of one of the greatest allied idsasters in the late war. Yes it may be cheezy sometimes but that just adds to the fun of watching it. I would put this film on the greatest war flicks of all time next to Tora Tora Tora, Midway, and The Longest Day. Overall, it may be a bit dated but it still holds true with both historical accuracy and a good story.
