wouldn’t you like to know weather boy
Kaili QuynhMay 19, 2026Oppenheimer but for guys who get overly excited when it rains on a Tuesday
AlucardMay 29, 2026Believe the hype everyone, the weather WWII movie is good.

One guy thinks it's going to rain. Another guy thinks it won't. Brendan Fraser is caught in the middle.
devincfJun 3, 2026they 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…

The fate of Europe hanging on British weather is the most British thing ever, innit?
AnaMay 25, 2026Andrew Scott was more accurate than the weather app on my iPhone
ZachMay 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…

🫎🫎🫎🫎 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…
As a big fan of movies and the occasional war movie, I loved this one. Great story, loved the pacing, and the cast was top tier. Andrew Scott is top class, and Brendan Fraser is just the goat. Kind of a different take on a war movie, but I enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend! 8.2/10

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
A profound story, rooted, and at the centre of one of the greatest military victories of all time - one that I didn’t even know existed… Despite coming across a bit heavy-handed, Pressure is a great film. Some moments feel artificial, which distracts, but they’re few and far between, surrounded by…
I thought that this movie will be another war drama that brings nothing fresh to this genre but i was very wrong this movie is a masterpice on the scale of Nolan’s dunkirk however it has flaws like very predictable plot but in the end they are so small compared to the genious of this spectacle and…

Film explores a fascinating element of WWII (& D-Day specific) history, but some of the writing and performances are cartoonish to the point of distraction. Not sure why someone didn't pull Brenden Fraser aside and ask him while he's portraying Dwight Eisenhower as a loud buffoon.
I had no idea a film about the weather and meteorologists could be so interesting! I hope this gets a second life, because it’s a great film! Brendan Fraser is fantastic in his portrayal of Ike. I might just have to get my own physical copy of this, ai enjoyed it so much!
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.
