CGI doesnt make a good film

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2019)

The CGI battle scenes are amazing, actually too amazing.
The film relies heavily on CGI action scenes. In between are scences of cardboard 2d characters. It doesn't create any suspense, or drama .
A fabricated scene, where captured U.S. aviators are thrown overboard by the Japanese to 'tell' where the U.S. carriers are.
With all the individual incidents that happened during the battle, the writers could only come up with some trite crass garbage - lazy storytelling.
That sums up this film. It wasn't terrible, just totally unremarkable except to say, good CGI.
Was it worth the price of a cinema ticket? No.
Would I watch this again ? No.
The 1976 film with Charlton Heston was actually better .
The plethora of gushing 10/10 best war film ever, as per every new release, convicnces me studios are paying for 10/10 reviews
