Review of Midway (2019) by Deanomite — 22 Jan 2020
Roland Emmerich movies for me are like a bull ride, never make it to the end, just quit when I've had enough. It's nicely photographed, looks good, effects are hit and miss but $100m is not a big budget these days.
Patrick Wilson is always good, haven't seen Dennis Quaid in a while. The biggest surprise is a shortage of corny dialog. Woody Harrelson is the main chief, handles it well. Christie Brooke was good, nice to see a strong female.
It was exciting to see familiar ships like the Nautilus and Enterprise. Apparently a very expensive independent movie, a passion project for Emmerich. I am not a big fan of Emmerich, but the color palette, period setting and dogfights were very good.
The fighter planes diving on the carriers was as thrilling as anything I ever saw.
