DanTheMan 2 Told with the nostalgic sentiment of classic Hollywood, Dark Blue World is a surprisingly elaborate epic blending camaraderie and romance in what I can only describe as the Czech Republic's Pearl Harbour. If there's one war movie from which you don't want to take inspiration... it's that one, granted Dark Blue World is nowhere near as close to the circle jerk that Bay's Harbour is, but it still spends too much time on a trite love triangle. Thankfully, the film remains fantastically directed realising the World War II backdrop to great effect while the acting is solid all around (a particular stand out being the always great Charles Dance) giving the often-overlooked efforts of the Czech RAF pilots the centre-stage for once. The film manages to blend a multitude of efforts in order to bring to life its incredible aviation sequences, incorporating footage from both Battle of Britain and Memphis Belle, augmented by the occasional CGI, although what it ultimately amounts to is an extremely capable but uninspired yarn. There's no flag-waving with Dark Blue World, just solid writing, warm photography and endearing performances that almost hit the mark creating a world that is truly bittersweet and forging a victory that feels genuinely hard won.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This small budget film soars above Pearl Harbor, both films share a similar love triangle story, Dark Blue World has a realism and a gritty atmosphere that's void in Pearl Harbor.

Hrmm. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It is pretty much the same movie as Pearl Harbor and it tries to cram in too many emotional urges into one film.
