One of the best war docudramas' ever made. Riveting aerial combat sequences ,CG & all. You needed the brief intimate/personal stories. the selflessness/strength of the military wives; the strategies, conversations & comments from the Japanese perspective & their human side, (as cruel as they were). Not to mention their seriously disciplined military. The brilliant code breakers , & officers making the tough decisions, & last but not least; the aviators who had the courage to fly thru over whelming fire power. The American planes shot out of the sky & dropping into the ocean was not overly done, we did lose entire squadrons (a squadron is up to 24 planes) & some where only a few planes returned. Movie time constraints is what explains some sequences. Do you think those air battles were really only 2 minutes long? The sound track played a significant role in the drama & power of the movie. The tribute to both Japan & U.S. Navy personal & some of the exceptional men was a great conclusion to the movie. The DVD release will be a great addition to my WW2 documentary collection. rh

Great Historical Movie considering Hollywood's past history of messing with history to sell at the box office. Would have liked to see more of The Doolittle Raiders story as it related to the battle of Midway.

Great Historical Movie. I 'll add my historical knowledge of WW2 also. It turns out few people know why P.H. was bombed. The movie gave very briefly a glimpse of why, when The Japanese told the Americans not to back them into a corner, The details: Roosevelt told Japan if they didn't stop there incursion & the slaughter of the Chinese (we're talking massive rape, bayonet practice on civilians & many other atrocities.) we would halt oil shipments to Japan. Japan didn't stop. America was friends with the Dutch & Japan had there sights on the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies. (as we were no longer their supplier). Japan feared the Pacific Fleet would come to the aid of the Dutch , hence destroy the Pacific Fleet at P.H. Yamamoto studied at Harvard & had great insight into America industrial power. This is why his famous quote(from diary) "we have awaken a sleeping giant & filled him with terrible resolve came to be . My question always was; What if the Carriers were at P.H at the time of the attack & destroyed? I hope to see the movie again. rh
