The trailer for "Fury" looks pretty good to me, i who have a boundless appetite for 
realistic war movies. Looks like lots of mud, which is true to life. I did notice tank
commander using T-17; i think they actually used only throat mic, and it would have
been more fun to hear how that actually sounded. For a first-level understanding they
did display the weakness of the M-4 against German panzers, and one trailer seems
to show an M-4 maneuvering at close quarters to put a shot into a Tiger's thinly
armored rear. The Tiger also had manual traverse of the gun, so the M-4 would be
faster on the draw in fast maneuvering.
I also took a look at "Unbroken", and it looked good, if slightly less realistic. One
thing that always gets me is the uniforms, in this case, of the Japanese camp guards,
always look well laundered and pressed, when actually they should look they're
well aged and look slept in.
Still, to me, i think it's great that war movies are still being made.
