Well, Midway is garbage, so that's not hard.

Speaking of recent war movies, I haven't watched this yet, but looks cool from the trailer:

Struggling to find a copy with subs though. Seems to be in Dutch and when there is German spoken there is HC Dutch subs.

Full Metal Jacket. I slept halfway through last night. Half of the movie they're doing the stupid BUDS. I was expecting a short intro and into the action. Not sure if I should continue for the "greatest war movie" of all time.

It's not an action movie.

It is however an intelligent movie with great character development, covering ALL the bases of the Vietnam war, from the "trauma" of basic training to the trauma of war itself.
Also amazing visuals and battle scenes in the "2nd half".

BUDS ?? Jirre dude, OK.

Apex (2021) 4/10

Kak film, premise is tired, acting & casting is pretty much atrocious, Bruce Willis playing the same role he played for the last 30 odd years & lastly Neal McDonough with a face you would love to smack.

If you haven't experienced basic military training the movie won't resonate with you as much as with people who have gone through it at a young age.
