The Command Ratings & Reviews
- ZokkiieApril 16, 2026It looks good and has a solid cast, and it definitely manages to build some emotion and tension. There are moments that really land and make you care. That said, it takes some pretty wild liberties with the facts, which kind of pulls you out of it if you know the real story. Those guys were gone long before anyone even had a chance to locate the wreck, so the “racing against time” angle feels off. I get why they leaned into it for drama, but it still drags it down a bit. Overall it’s watchable and hits emotionally at times, just don’t take it too literally.
