During the First World War with the advent of the Panzer tank, all bets were off as the brutality of war was uncontained with barely any safe guards and chemical/gas weapons at optimal use. The story behind "Landship" is part of history but not brought to bear until 70 years later. It shows a Panzer team that made their way across to the German trenches without disappearing into a mortar hole but eventually was turned over by German artillery.

Steven Spielberg’s original concepts are pretty good and with a writer like David Koepp who did "Jurassic Park" making something like "Disclosure Day" should be an exceptional run. And while this feels like a more complete Spielberg film than many recent forays, it suffers from a lot of plot holes that take away from its overall power. There are some great moments of wonder for sure but it is almost like not enough time was spent on the script. There are also set pieces that are bridges but don’t really expound on the character structure to move the plot.

When one thinks of He-Man, it definitely needs to be 80s strong. The new “Master Of The Universe” leans into this with varying degrees of success. It seems to want to emulate 1980's "Flash Gordon" even down to the Brian May’s guitar solos since Queen did that score. But this is a different film and a different time. The camp of that 1980s film worked well but Flash was different than Adam here who seems to be too woke.
