FFC is an egomaniac to the force he spent his own personal millions to make this jumble of a film. I got to screen it and I am still trying to process it. It's like 1/4 of four different films rolled into one. The all star cast does the film no favors. Sadly, Adam Driver is a tortured soul and barely delivers. Shia LeBouf character is refreshing only in the sense he is a very good actor. Otherwise the ponytailed guy in pleather is annoying to the third degree. I am still trying to process what the point of the film and ending was. I won't spoil anything but it seems like its FFC attempt to sum up his movie career in some grandiose film. It's all very confusing and the run time consumes you. I had to pause it and come back 3 different times. Did he find a distributor? I guess so. The film won't make back the budget plus marketing. In closing the film and what it is makes me sad - this shouldn't be how FFC ends his legendary film career.

2.5 / 10.0 stars.

I got to screen the series early being a SAG member. It comes close to delivering perfection like Band of Brothers & the Pacific.

Casting is great, the love story didn't need to be included and the inclusion of Tuskegee pilots was amazing.

My grandad was a combat fighter pilot in WW2 and flew 39 missions being shot down on his day off in another pilots plane. After rescuing his crew chief & gunner he declined being sent home to attend West Point. Instead he got well and flew another 25 missions. Greatest generation ever and this series accurately portrays the young men that volunteered to go to war.

I highly recommend this series.
