What they share

Theysit in Action / Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to The King's Choice, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Great War of Archimedes is

Tokyo, early Showa era. A 50-meter slide rule. Naval command wants Yamato, a battleship to end all battleships. But Admiral Yamamoto smells a rat, enlisting math genius Kai to crunch numbers. Soon, Kai finds more than mere miscalculation. Yamazaki’s CGI-heavy war stories offer a fresh angle on familiar history.
