Trent M I thought this was a good movie that depicted the true nature of carrier warfare in WW2. Well cast, with some great footage. Sterling Hayden plays a great commander. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The rating isn't for the quality of plot and acting. They are typical. However... the film is an incredible wealth of real color carrier footage which I haven't seen in any other source. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member from the beginning...the Movie showed F9F "Panther" Jet fighters landing on the carrier....it is a mish match of WW2 and Korean war films.....total waste of brain cells... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member good WWII pic post WWII. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The old school war film stereotypes are on parade here. Nothing like a Norte Dame half back yelling âtouchdownâ? when he sinks a Jap ship. In case you did not realize, this movie sucks. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather tame war story, but it is interesting throughout and well put together. Some good aerial footage, reasonably good performances.Tends to being a little to sentimental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
