wouldn’t you like to know weather boy

they want you to believe this is a tense D-Day war-thriller when in actuality it is a diva-off between two meteorologists with clashing strategies and personalities. and, crucially, they’re played by two of our finest working actors: Andrew Scott (wearing beautiful blue…
mia lee vicinoMay 25, 20262026 Ranked History had already told us D-Day worked. But watching pressure literally makes you sweat like it didn’t add new stakes to this pivotal moment in time. Writer/director Anthony Maras distilled a meteorological game of chicken into a legitimately thrilling…
@NavyVet🔥🔥🔥The fate of Europe hanging on British weather is the most British thing ever, innit?

One guy thinks it's going to rain. Another guy thinks it won't. Brendan Fraser is caught in the middle.

ZachJun 20, 2026I was actually quite moved by this. If someone asked me weather or not they should see this I would maintain my position: go.

🫎🫎🫎🫎 Regardless of what is fact and fiction and looking at this purely as a film, this was very good. I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of war depictions can leave characters feeling stale, however, with Stagg it is the complete opposite. This movie does a great job introducing his strict…
brendan fraser was so intimidating, i couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. proof that chris messina is severely underrated. watched it in a packed theater where i was the only one that wouldn’t be eligible for a senior citizen discount at golden corral
I enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t a war movie in the typical sense of following the soldier’s experiences on the ground. More like the behind the scenes. But the acting was amazing and I learned a lot about D-Day and the history of meteorology in general that I didn’t know.

not a war or combat movie but rather extremely similar to The Imitation Game in the fact that it was a drama with war as its backdrop. extremely similar in quality to that as well with it being captivating throughout, even for being a movie about the weather 🎥
Felt a major personal influence of works such as 'The Imitation Game' & 'Interstellar' with such an amazing score by Volker Bertelmann just as he did it on 'Conclave'. Myself being a sucker for true stories this one is no different and it hit home!

Best part of the movie was that it did not take away from the real heroics of the soldiers. Yes there’s a main character that you can root for, but at the end of the day, the movie is about how he helps the heroes that make their way to shore.
A WWII drama about the upcoming days before d-day, including an intense weather debacle. This felt like a fresh angle on the event most Americans know so well. I will say I wish this film took more risks and didn’t feel so standard. 6.5
