I'm gonna stick my neck out again...

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2019)

While it is flashy and cinematically correct (that's a back handed way of saying technically appealing), there are none the less two things wrong with this version of history...maybe I should have said 'problems', for the first is CGI. This vehicle can do some amazing things when showing fantasy worlds, but here they forgot to pay attention to how planes actually fly. The attempt in this movie was to make amazing battle scenes, but they didn't impress me.
The second problem is you and me...we sometimes forget that there were real people fighting and dying over the four days of the battle. It's only my opinion certainly, but I could not empathize at all with some of the portrayals. Yes I'm gona say it; Woody Harrelson should never have been cast as Chester Nimitz...!
In summary, I didn't like it...yes I'm a Navy veteran too...
