First of all, this is not a traditional war movie. Think of it more as a documentary. You will understand it a little easier before you watch.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen a Japanese take prior to World War 2. It's certainly gives you food for thought.
For most the battleship Yamamoto, we'll be in the distant past. The story does put a certain amount of humanity which I don't think has been shown to western audiences before.
If you watch it expecting guns, blazing and action hero swinging in you will be sorely disappointed. The story centers around one young man and some admirals, including yamamoto himself and the story behind getting the yamamoto built.
So if you are into history by all means, give it a watch. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for action find something else.
