“Fury,” May 21, 2015 (2014), airplane on way to New Zealand. This is a well-made yet formulaic war movie with some pretty standard plotting and dialogue. It stars Brad Pitt as tank commander Sgt. Don“Wardaddy” Collier as he and his crew including “Bible” (Shia LaBeuf), “Gordo” (Michael Pen~a), and “Coon Ass” (Jon Bernthal) are part of the assault on Germany in April 1945. The Shermans struggle against Germany’s Tiger tanks and it is a grueling, brutal struggle. Losing one man, they pick up a green clerk, Norman (Logan Lerman.) Sadly (I’d hoped for much more) a too predictable tale of the horrors of war and a coming of age via combat. Welcome to war as fought by stereotypes: the grizzled, hardened but sensitive Sgt., the Bible-based Southern redneck, the Mexican-American, the young naïve soldier. 1/3 of the Dirty Dozen and most 1940s-60a war movies. It nonetheless kept me entertained while I could not sleep over the Pacific. My only thought on this one is that it may have been a victim of the format I saw it on as well as the films limits.
