Sleeper hit in the making or this year's Red Tails? (remember that?)

Makes me think of Pearl Harbour (2001).

Looking forward to it. I saw one scene being filmed in the old town here in Montreal I think two years ago. A car drives up to the City Hall building (obviously standing up for some war office in Washington DC) and a man in uniform gets out and enters the building. They did a few takes of that, with other old cars driving by and pedestrians in period-appropriate clothes walking by.

Makes me think of Pearl Harbour (2001). Okay if Ben Affleck has a cameo, it'd be worth it.

Looks technically and visually strong, but like a follow up to Pearl Harbor, which I didn't see because it looked bad and apparently was bad. I don't quite hate it as much as I used to. But it's still basically a Titanic cashin. The actual attack sequence is legitimately entertaining though and has some of Bay's best work as an action director though. Why they didn't just make a war film instead of a romance is beyond me.

This looks like absolute shit... They should just re-cut the 1976 Heston-Fonda film with modern, up-gunned FX and be done with it.
The '76 film keeps the "fictionalization" & "romance" to a minimum, and overall does a fine job of explaining/showing how the battle unfolded and what actually happened. What a novelty! It's only let down by the obvious, often piss-poor use of stock footage -- most of which isn't even from the Battle of Midway.

This looks like another attempt to hammer into the American populace that 1) the US had no damn idea that an attack was coming on Pearl Harbor, and 2) broke the Japanese code at the last minute and realized the attack on Midway was coming.
I'm really getting to hate CGI. Even if the stock footage from the 70's "Midway" didn't always match it had more of a 3D look to it. CGI is like watching a cartoon with real people thrown in.

Looks awful.
By the way, there's neither a place nor film called Pearl Harbour.
