I think this is supposed to be a black comedy, only without any laughs. The plot and premise, whilst farfetched, are quite clever albeit a little twisted and yucky. The music, with some irritating vocoder moments, seems to be randomly chosen and randomly placed throughout the film which detracts somewhat, along with some ropey cinematography and dodgy editing, all of which conspire to make this an unappealing way to spend 2hrs. Much as I generally like Alan Rickman, I'd avoid this one.

The Dam Busters - Unrated

Starts off interestingly enough, with the invention and development of the bouncing bomb, fizzles out a bit in the middle and ends on a muted high. The special effects, the extreme patriotism, the pedestrian pace and everyone smoking a pipe, all seem rather dated now, but it's a reasonable enough film that plays almost like a documentary.

Pearl Harbor - PG-13
|
|
After about an hour of insipid lovey-dovey Hollywood-by-numbers mush, the battle scenes are almost a welcome break. (I guess at this point you're not supposed to be rooting for the Zeroes, but you almost are!) Dubious historical accuracy aside, the aerial scenes, explosions and CGI are very well done in places, but soon, they too become rather a bore when they go on too long with too much camera shake and overly quick editing. After the attack, you think/hope the film is probably over, but no, it drags on another hour, which is arguably the best hour of the film. All in all, rather ho-hum and quite missable.
