June 28, 20196 yr Michael Bay Roland Emmerich directs. Looks kinda cheesy IMO. But Woody plays Nimitz, so that's pretty cool.
June 28, 20196 yr It does look maybe a little cheesy, but I'll definitely go see it. I couldn't sleep several nights ago and watched the Midway movie with Pat Garrett in it, and really enjoyed it. However I notice Randy Quaid's name in the trailer- if he flies a plane into the side of the last Japanese carrier I will go to the front desk and ask for my money back.
June 28, 20196 yr Fonda, Mitchum, and Ford as Nimitz, Halsey, and Spruance can never be topped, but I’ll watch it for sure. I didn’t see anyone credited with the role of Ensign Gay though. Edited June 28, 20196 yr by NeverMarryAStripper

June 28, 20196 yr He’s way to old to play a pilot in this. There must be a backstory about someone committed into an Hawaii insane asylum.

June 28, 20196 yr That’s the whitest fucking cast I’ve ever seen. Who keeps giving a bore like Patrick Wilson roles? Mandy Moore and Eckhart haven’t been relevant since like 2010, and Skrein fucked off enough to get kicked off Game of Thrones. This should be straight-to-streaming.

June 28, 20196 yr Japanese pilots flying down Honolulu streets 50 feet in the air.....yeah right. They cheesed it up
June 28, 20196 yr I notice Dennis Quaid's name in the trailer - if his brother flies a plane into the side of the last Japanese carrier I will go to the front desk and give them more money.

Now if Randy Quaid's character said "UP YOURS" and did that, I'd go to the front desk and pay more money as I was clearly undercharged.
June 28, 20196 yr I hate when they make CGI airplanes fly like Tie Fighters. But I will dutifully go see it.

June 29, 20196 yr As long as Hartnett and Affleck don't appear with their cheesy southern accents.Beat me to it. I was gonna lob out a Hawaiian shirt jab in there somewhere though.
June 29, 20196 yr 4 hours ago, RPM said: Eckhart is solid and underrated. He’s solid but he’s not underrated. He’s done nothing to stand out since In the Company of Men. Edited June 29, 20196 yr by Lobo
June 29, 20196 yr The original had the strongest cast this side of “...Mad Mad World”. Remake looks like ass.
June 29, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, Lobo said: He’s solid but he’s not underrated. He’s done nothing to stand out since In the Company of Men. Disagree. He's not a leading actor, but he's a solid, versatile supporting role. He was very good in Thank You for Smoking and Sully. He played DKR.

The same thing repeated over and over; planes doing things planes and pilots don't/can't do. And it all looks like a cartoon. That takes me right out of a movie. It looks like you'll also have the usual set of two-dimensional historical characters played with great earnestness by pretty American actors. Put these guys on the screen with most of the cast and the cast shrivels into raisins. But the audience created by the studios doesn't much care for dimension. Thanks. I don't think the Japanese were "attacking our freedom," but that's been an inapt catchphrase for a long time. This movie looks awful. Edited June 29, 20196 yr by RomaVicta

June 29, 20196 yr This actually might not be that bad. As for the complaints about the CGI.... Fuck it. It's a movie.

June 29, 20196 yr Although the series of battles end up being the reason mankind ditches 500 years of battleship production, Dennis Quaid still mumbles, "You're gonna need bigger boats." I'm okay with the CGI simply because I've personally tried to salvage 80 year old air-craft carriers and it's really hard to do, so sometimes you gotta go with computers. This'll make a fun, half-drunk watch on December 7th, 2021 for free on cable.

June 29, 20196 yr This actually might not be that bad. As for the complaints about the CGI.... Fuck it. It's a movie.It’s a movie that looks faker than 1950 Japanese monster movies. “Giant Robot return to base”
