Moviegoers are saying
This true story adaptation creates a fascinating divide among viewers, with many praising the superb casting (especially Brendan Fraser's award-worthy supporting performance) and intense storytelling, while others find the execution surprisingly bland despite the compelling source material. The film seems to hit hardest for audiences who connect with its epic, heart-pounding moments.

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 31, 2026It has a great premise — in the days leading up to D-Day, the Allied meteorology team hotly debates whether the weather will be good enough to launch the invasion as planned, where a wrong answer could doom tens of thousands of Allied servicemen and turn the tide of the…

History already told us D-Day worked. Pressure makes you sweat like it didn’t. Anthony Maras turns a meteorological standoff into a legitimate thriller, centering the 72 hours before the Normandy invasion on one question: do you trust the weatherman? Andrew Scott is quietly…

Camden Seavers likedPressurenot 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 🎥
Bennie likedPressureA 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
Hardy Reviews likedPressureThe incredible story that is told in this film is not one that you would expect to be interesting, but it is. This harrowing tale about the weather and its effects on the war is something that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
- Murph is "meh" onPressure
Rating: 5/10 Felt like they tried to hard to make it dramatic. Wish they spent more time on how they figured out the weather and more time on the battle itself. Didn’t feel like a waste of time but I wouldn’t watch it again.
jam jammy jambam likedPressureKerry Condon has been tasked with the unfortunate role of being the woman that keeps the men emotionally in line these past few films. Men talking in rooms is a surprisingly fun genre i enjoy
Kasey Stucky likedPressurePretty much the same argument over and over and Moriarty makes the same face the whole time, but still enjoyable. Brendan Fraser brings the only emotion in the movie
- K likedPressure
Great job by Andrew Scott, Eisenhower was portrayed very to the point I would say. I don’t know if it’s that serious but I wasn’t bored.
Alex lovedPressureGreat acting, pacing, and story. Andrew Scott was fantastic. I felt captivated throughout. Much better than I was expecting 8/10
Ben LaLonde lovedPressureThat was excellent, it was told really well, the acting was great…really just what an amazing movie and story…chills
