The Admiral: Roaring Currents

The Admiral: Roaring Currents is a 2014 epic South Korean film about the sea Battle of Myeongnyang. A gorgeous movie, it broke records and won awards.


trailer:


The Hollywood Reporter has a positive review. The New York Times faults the lack of character development, but honestly, how much character development do you need in an epic film about a historic sea battle? The LA Times calls it "thrilling".

  2. I have to admit, although this sounds "epic," it really isn't my cup of oolong.
