Too stylized for my taste. It looks like a Michael Bay movie without the fun.

 

[Seedtype]

The concept is cool, but what's with the color filter they're using? Everything looks fake.

 

[archangel2]

gotta hate the CGI. Looks very cheap. Considering it had its release delayed by over a year, they had time to correct the look. It was supposed to be released March of last year

Another WW2 movie, eh?

 

[Osprey]

I'm interested. I'll take as many WWII movies as I can get, and you can't go wrong with Tom Hanks.

The screenplay is by Tom Hanks. That's interesting.

Spoken by someone named after a comic book, as if we don't have enough movies about those .

 

[Burnoutboi]

The screenplay is by Tom Hanks. That's interesting.

I'll watch it for that alone. I hope it's great.

I wish Tom would either take interesting, challenging roles or go away. He seems set to squander his talent in perpetuity. That's his right, but it bums me out since I know he can do more.

Did I just watch a movie trailer, or footage from World of Warships?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Is it be or does the CGI look generic and shabby?

 

[kihei]

I think it is going to be a bus....I mean, bust.

If it's got shitty maps, stupid team mates and camping submarines, then yes.

I wish he would reboot Bosom Buddies.

I've seen a ton of war movies so I'll likely see this at some point.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

No thanks, this looks like absolute dog shit.

Everything looks fake. The ships looks fake, the weather looks fake, the ocean looks fake. I think the worst tragedy though are those fake as hell U-boat emblems.

 

[ACC1224]

Nice, looks awesome. Something to look forward to after this dismal season ends.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I really like the concept of this, but that trailer doesn't convince me that this will be good.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Reminds me of the Midway movie

 

[montreal]

It's out today on apple tv, I'm thinking of getting it since it's a free trial.

 

[Osprey]

Thanks for the tip, montreal.

I watched it last night and reviewed it in the main movie thread:

Movies: - Last Movie You Watched and Rate It | Part#: Some High Number +4

I liked it. It's just a no-nonsense, fast-paced war movie that that doesn't try to be anything more than an entertaining 90 minutes.

 

[Jussi]

It did everything it needed to in the 80ish minutes (excluding the credits time). No nonsense, action. 8½/10

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Watched it tonight, not a bad movie but also not very memorable. It doesn’t hold a candle to
Dunkirk, IMO.

 

[montreal]

I watched it last night, not bad but nothing special either. I enjoyed watching it for sure especially since it was free since I just canceled apple tv right after it was over. If you like war movies it's worth seeing imo, especially since you don't see too many on the battle of the atlantic in the last 20 or so years at least off the top of my head.

 

[chicagoskycam]

It was an interesting story but I feel they could have done a better job with it. Yeah, CGI was bad but I just could not get into the characters or Hank in this one.
