How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brainteasing military thriller that pits a modern supercarrier against 1941, asking what happens when unstoppable force meets impossible choice. It's driven by procedural tension and genuine sci-fi wonder, even as it plays out against the shadow of Pearl Harbor.
