    I hope I'm wrong but I doubt that it would be any good. Probably too much CGI and too much drama with a lot of US patriotic slogans.

    First scene in trailer where woman and child are watching attack on the broadsiding Battleships just across their house is very improbable. On the both side of the battleships row in Pearl Harbor were Navy facilities not residential area. And the guy who is telling that at Midway they will finally show that US Navy is not a joke. What? Didn't they already show that during the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of the Coral Sea? And usual cliche where Washington aka Government is wrong but US Army/Navy knows better.

    As Andy mentioned, seem like another Pearl Harbor BS.
