Rating reflects historical footage value - as a movie it's jingoistic propaganda laden awful. Shot as a propup for the Japanese home front it is full of blatant lies (hey look we're thrashing those Yankee monsters...yeah of course you are, LOL, in 1944 the writing was on the wall for the Imperial Japanese forces). And yet the historical footage is priceless - one for period junkies only, There the rating will be much higher for they truly don't make 'em like this any more. No CGI, just models.

The final film of what became Kajirô Yamamoto propaganda trilogy made during World War II. Probable the lesser of the three, but I always find it interesting when looking into the wrong side of history, here the war from a Japanese perspective and the torpedo specialists. So for historic purposes it's worth it.
