That looks really bad. Hollywood trying to pass off an action movie as a war movie as usual.

IDK, guess we will see if it is any better.   I am sure some of us will spot historical errors from ships, planes to squadron and skins. 


Dam it!  Already spotted one error.  Wrong B-25 in the Doolittle raid!   :bhead

I'll see it... Might not like it, but I'll see it.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I know it isn't quite exactly the same but watching that trailer I couldn't help but be reminded of "How To Make A Blockbuster Movie Trailer"
 

Especially they "Washington disagrees------Washington is wrong" bit and the "present arms" riff under the the all the music noise.

As bad as the movie may be, if it's a hit, it will drive up our numbers.

Pearl Harbor 2: Electric Bugaloo

As I said in the WoWs forum; Getting serious Pearl Harbor vibes...  Trailer already showed 100% too much "lovey-dovey".   Not holding my breath...   :noid

Let's make this better:

How could you not? 75% of this trailer showed events already covered in Pearl Harbor.
