Less than expected

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2019)

Not accurate on some (many?) intelligence details. No accounting for the sinking of the "Lady Lux." It actually sank after fuel leaks from the already crippled ship filled areas of the carrier with fumes and a generator sparked an explosion. After it was abandoned, the vessel sank from torpedoes intentionally fired by a American destroyer sent her to the bottom. Nimitz wasn't happy. The "sleeping giant" quote has long been considered suspicious and added nothing to the movie. The debate between Hypo and Neget (not recognized by name) deserved more attention. Several other things were problematic, but you get the idea.
More soap opera scenes than I expected from other reviews. They added little, or nothing, to the story.
The only reason I gave it a 5 rating was the new technology for the war scenes was interesting. I wish they wouldn't jump around so much and so fast with the angles, though.
If they had followed the way Tora! Tora! Tora! was done, I could rate it higher. My suggestion is to read Layton's book, And I Was There, instead. More time to do so, but better spent for substance and understanding and more interesting.
