Does saying it's on Par with "Pearl Harbor" help?

Rating: 5/10 (7 February 2020)

You know, this films not terrible. It has its heart in the right place, and it's entertaining enough, despite being overlong.
Skrein was a perfect casting as the cocky pilot. Many of the other names, that include Quaid, Eckhart and more, are lost in the shuffle. Skrein and Patrick Wilson(he's always solid) are the only two performances that really deserve a mention.
The writing and cgi are subpar. The CGI looks so fake and often It used to manufacture very unrealistic action/war sequences. As of matter of fact, the writing isn't just subpar, it's terrible. Cringeworthy.
That said I didnt turn it off. Its about as average to slightly below average of a blockbuster-type action flick as you're likely to find, but Im still a sucker for lots of action, explosions, heroism, and usually one to push-aside exact historical or visual accuracy.
All the characters are under-developed. There's too many. The wives are completely ignored, though shown and introduced(why bother if your gonna drop them all like a bomb). So go ahead and make your list of the 10 people that will live and 10ppl that will die, and it will probably be accurate. There's nothing new about this, or old. Nothing stands out. It might be better than Pearl Harbor actually, though inferior aesthetically. I'd pass unless you are just bored And an action junkie- I was.
