Other than that, it was fine. I'd like more modern Pacific Theatre movies, but I feel like WW2 movies will be extinct soon. It's also a little more touchy to do a Pacific movie in the modern era because racism was pretty central on both sides.
edit: oh man, I just realized Ed Skrein played the Daario they replaced in Game of Thrones. Basically the moment he had to start reading lines they got someone else.

I do find instances like this funny.
Because Ed Skrein left because he wasnt convinced GoT was going to be any good or something like that and got an offer to do some other TV show and took it.
I look at The Walking Dead and SMG (its a long name) left and went to Star Trek Discovery and then Maggie at least left her options open to come back since she did leave and then her new show got promptly cancelled.
Acting is a tough gig and some people prefer a steady paycheque.
Granted....then they probably shouldnt be actors, but I digress.
