"Into the Storm follows British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Brendan Gleeson, 28 Days Later) as he launches ferociously into World War II. The movie?s greatest strength comes from a shifting back and forth in time, portraying Churchill?s post-war life as well, when the very qualities that made him so effective as a military leader threaten both his career and his marriage. Anyone seeking a detailed analysis of the war will be disappointed; Into the Storm skips through history, less interested in the ebb and flow of combat than the weighing of decisions and the composition of speeches. Although this may sound uncinematic, Gleeson does a remarkable job articulating Churchill?s creative thoughts as he walks to and fro in his bedclothes, mulling over the right phrase to sustain his country?s morale, or facing FDR and Stalin across a table, working to shape an effective alliance. Janet McTeer (Tumbleweeds) is even better as Clementine Churchill, a woman who never sought the political life yet strove to support her belligerent, passionate husband as best she could. Written by Hugh Whitemore (author of Breaking the Code and The Gathering Storm, to which this is a sort of sequel), Into the Storm is a complex, well-rounded portrait, capturing how courage and indomitability can, in peacetime, turn brutish and bullying."@en .

"Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, USS Walker--a Great War-vintage \"four-stacker\" destroyer--finds itself in full retreat from pursuit by Japanese battleships. Its captain, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, knows that he and his crew are in dire straits. In desperation, he heads Walker into a squall, hoping it will give them cover, but emerges somewhere else. Familiar landmarks appear, but the water teems with vicious, monstrous fish. And there appear to be dinosaurs grazing on the plains of Bali. Gradually Matt and his crew must accept the fact that they are in an alternate world--and they are not alone. Humans have not evolved, but two other species have. And they are at war. Walker, with its steam power and weaponry, could by its very existence alter the balance of power. And for Matt and his crew, who have the means to turn a primitive war into a genocidal Armageddon, one thing becomes clear: they must decide whose side they're on. Because whatever side they choose will be the winner."@en . "1939 - 1945" . .
