By Jason Apuzzo. A trailer has just been released for Act of Valor, the Navy SEAL-themed movie that Govindini mentioned in her Atlantic column from yesterday, and that I mentioned in my first Terror Watch update.
On balance I like the look of the film, and the scale of it seems impressive for an indie production. Obviously the cooperation of the military was critical here. My understanding is that Act of Valor began as a documentary-style production about SEAL operations and then gradually morphed into a more conventional narrative – and the trailer certainly has a hybrid, docudrama feel to it. In any case, it looks like something that will be worth seeing in IMAX when it’s released in that format come February of next year.
Take a look and tell us what you think.

Oh man, it feels like I’ve waited my whole life for such a movie!
