Someone doesn't know how to write a very good article and insert the link in the appropriate place for the trailer. Link to the trailer where you talk about the TRAILER, NOT where you talk about the official Yahoo! webpage where the trailer debuted.

Woo Hoo, it's Top Gun for Skimmers (surface navy types)

I work with a company that supplies props and vehicles for military movies. We had a small part in this production. We had to find the dummy 16 inch shells and powder bags that were going to be used. Also, I found a copy of the Navy manual on the operation of the turrets. But it was posted to the web as images of the pages. So I had to download all 700 plus images, then print them out and bind the manual so that we could send it to the prop master on the set.

COOL!!! Were you guys able to finagle free tickets to the showing when it comes out???

Which weapons?

All of them.

Sounds like Gun Counter material to me.

No, we're so far down the food chain that very few people actually know who we are.

Eeh. You'd think that with all the real-world drama, they could do much better than contrived garbage. Leyte Gulf, Midway...or the Big One, Jutland.

Why would the evil aliens come down and fight us are they too stupid to figure out space crowbars?

Even two trunked elephants could figure it out....

A solid meh...sorry guys, but it would take an alien to make a movie about being a SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) cool...why couldn't they just have done the Battle of Suriago Strait (including the Battle off Samar)?

Yeah, I'm leaning towards meh on this one. But mostly because of the sappy love story at the beginning, possibly shadowing the whole damn movie. One of the reasons I didn't watch Pearl Harbor.
