Excellent and Accurate Account; Very Enjoyable Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2019)

This review will be short as many of the previous reviewers have done an excellent job extolling the strengths of this film. Like most, I am a fan of the 1976 version, but really enjoyed how this film tied in Pearl Harbor while injecting just the right amount of Japanese Navy perspective/actions. I am a retired Naval Aviator with a Father and 3 Uncles who fought in the Pacific during WWII. I saw the movie with a retired 3 Star Army General who has published a number of critically accepted books on the art of war......and we both loved this movie. I provide the resume solely to note that we were critical of the films accuracy as well as the outstanding acting/writing/effects. Like Tora Tora Tora, I would not be surprised to see this movie gain status as a war classic with time.
