Nice, I enjoy historical movies (or what you call them). Naval movies/shows being one of my favourites, Master and Commander, The Terror, North Waters etc. Hope this turns out great! :D

naming a movie/tv show after a year is a lazy convention

You ain't wrong.

Edit: Exception being if it has a subtitle, of course. I.E. 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I wonder if because its made by a Philippines + US studio it is not under the SAG-AFTRA strikes. I remember seeing him on the picket line.
