Interesting movie, interesting topic and well made...
Finally saw it.
I cannot summarize any better.
Enjoyed - worth the admission.
That alone is something I cannot say about all too many of the "few movies" I actually go to see in a theater environment (or Drive in in this instance).
It will never make my top 10 list (war movies or otherwise) but then the older I get I do find I am harder to please...
Pretty sure I am quite a bit older than you and I enjoyed it simply because it wasn't about the explosions and military daring-do, it was about people and what they went through and how they coped. I have seen my fill of Hollywood gasoline-explosion filled war epics. Great when I was a kid but
now I am interested in the people more than the action. It's why 1725 PSI's AARs so captured the forum when he was able to write them.
I did pick up on a lot of phony stuff like ships immediately capsizing after a small bomb hit, but given the time and budget restraints the producers must have been under I forgive the details as long as the scene contributed to the narrative.
