Arukimedesu no taisen (2019)
A Nation Riding Pride to its Doom.
Great Japanese film about the pre-war corruption, code of honor and nationalistic pride that led to Japan's complete destruction. So many in the high command knew a war with America was unwinnable but militaristic pride and honor to the Emperor ruled their decisions.
Largest Battleship ever built used for nothing more than a Kamikaze Raid that took 3000 sailors.
Not an action film (apart from the sinking), but a Japanese snapshot of ne part of mindset that led to war.
Best watched in the original Japanese with subtitles.
*oh, actor who portrayed Admiral Nagumo in Midway plays Admiral Nagano here.*

Vaguely ambiguous, inconclusive time waster.
Invasion (2021)
3 Hours, One Alien?
Too much backstory, not enough front story . . . Yes everyone wants character development, but ferchrissakes keep advancing the actual plot. And real plot, not just ratcheting the tension, building up the score and cut.
Aging Sherriff, Cheating Husband, Burned Out Soldier, British School Bully, a 'Special Kid' (no nose bleed), and Japanese Lesbians, someone went to the Character Department and took all the remnants.
How slow does this show move? Apple TV released the first three episodes at once cause they knew they had a Sloth.
