Review of Pearl Harbor (2001) by Serge L — 16 Feb 2016

The flying reenactments are not bad at all and the actual attack is well done. Still, several times the planes are lower than realistic, so we get to see them better I suppose. I find most actors not credible in their roles.

They are always too relax in the face of the horrors or the downturns. We don't feel the drama through them. They're all very cute though. The music is overbearing to the point of hilarity. It does not convey the right feelings either.

It has a lot the feel of a cheap tv movie. The romance seems possible but then again, the feelings are off of reality. It is a stingy romance, more than a lovely one, and they sugar coat it like icing on a salmon fish.

Strange taste! The political bits are a bit off also. The USA president wanted war but the people resisted. This attack provided him the reason he needed to start the killing machine that they are now.

All counted, the film is great for the reenactment and I'm glad they did it. Now, please excuse me, I have the Pearl Harbour documentaries to watch...
