neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw the movie “Pressure.“ It is absolutely brilliant, one of the best of the year. It’s about Eisenhower and D-Day. Throughout the whole thing I kept thinking, “And we have Trump and Hegseth… G-d help us…”
positive · AI labelView post →Pressure Another good film, like Oppenheimer and The Imitation Game, about how geekery won the Second World War. Satisfying geek service for geeks. Now just need a rousing movie about the Dowding System.
positive · AI labelView post →I enjoyed "Pressure" very much. It is both accurate and satisfying as a film. It does give a sense of Ike as he was, at least as much as that sort of thing can.

neutral · AI labelView post →The new movie 'Pressure' shows why Eisenhower trusted scientists over blowhards. And why we should too. At one point in “Pressure,” meteorologist explains to General Eisenhower that an impending storm will make it impossible for the Allied troops to be successful. www.alternet.org/pressure-mov...

neutral · AI labelView post →The new film “Pressure” makes the events of World War II seem surprising by focusing on a little-known hero: the weatherman who helped coordinate the final stages of D-Day, writes David Sims.

From the producers of Darkest Hour and based on the true story behind D-Day, Pressure stars Andrew Scott as Met Office meteorologist Group Captain James Stagg, alongside Brendan Fraser.

neutral · AI labelView post →Based on a remarkable true story, ‘Pressure’ follows the efforts of a British meteorologist (Andrew Scott) to forecast the weather for D-Day. It’s a genuinely gripping and well-acted World War II movie, of the kind we don’t see much anymore.

Hoping the film is good and Brendan Fraser does well as General Eisenhower. From "Encino Man" to Eisenhower in just 34 short years. Well done, Mr. Fraser. Image: IMDB.

We produced a new reanalysis for D-Day, and processed it to look a bit like a satellite image. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/pressure-t...
neutral · AI labelView post →"A sniggering critic might even tag Pressure as the ultimate in British cinema — a second world war movie that is also a tale of an unseasonably wet Monday. Critics can be insufferable, though. The film is flawed but rewarding." 😂👏 Saw it yesterday. Loved it. Recommended.

Oh, and an interview with Catherine Zeta Jones. No other reviews. That's it.

Well written, superb acting. The NYT reviewer said it was a trivia tidbit that the weather played a role. Fuck them. Could not recommend enough. 👍

positive · AI labelView post →Anthony Maras’ PRESSURE (2026) is a terrific little film, especially if you’re a WWII history buff. It’d make a helluva triple feature with Nolan’s DUNKIRK and Wright’s DARKEST HOUR. Highly recommended. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social @focusfeatures.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →So, the film I went to was Pressure. It's mostly what you'd expect, but I respect that they put the Head of Library and Archives through her hardest working months of a long career trying to get this right. And also, v glad not to be Eisenhower tbh. As ever. It's a hell of a decision.
neutral · AI labelView post →That a stop motion tech got so frustrated with the 6 months it took to film the Death Star battle in Jedi that he put his sneaker into a shot and it made it into the film! They put CG engines on it. You can see it right after the line "Pressure steady" but only in the original flim not the new crap.
