The Current War builds upon a solid narrative foundation by richly transporting the viewer to a pivotal and prescient time for humankind.
The Current War admirably attempts to be something bigger than it ultimately is, with its A-list cast and interesting-but-misfiring style.
Although not without empathy, it is hard to argue against the statement that teenagers are some of the most self-centred people alive. I know this from being a particularly self-centred teenager, who at thirteen regularly made statements of self-loathing in order to gouge sympathy and attention from my peers. It was an attention seeking phase that I mercifully grew out of very quickly, but I can at least be forgiven for it for being young and stupid.
