When was told that there is a movie about Yamato I decided to watch it immediately. Yamato was the greatest battleship of WWII and I was really excited about this movie and finally I was disappointed greatly.
The movie about the greatest battleship of WWII turned out to be a soap opera. More than 2/3 of a film is conversations of a crew and their relatives. I understand that Yamato is a historical memory for many Japanese families but nevertheless it was pride of Japanese Navy.
Personally I waited for a sea battles and unfortunately they came out to be messy and boring, i got a feeling that the Direcor had never shot battle scenes before. No camera on planes that was attacking Yamato, no camera on AA guns shooting American planes... I apologize for this review to Japanese audience but still there could be much better film about Yamato
