Review of Midway (2019) by Dubeau — 25 Jan 2020

Midway is exceptional in some areas, less in others. The story is extending too far. It tries to put you so much in context, that it doesn't focus on the main event. In fact Midway is as much about Pearl Harbour for half the movie.

That said the FX are absolutely amazing. The aerial combats are superb. The acting is a mix bag. A bit of overacting but mostly it's acceptable. The movie is still very informative about the event. Even on the Japanese side, which I found to be a nice touch.

I especially like how the film was ending. I give it 72%. Yes, I know, it is a Roland Emmerich show. But in terms of war movie, this is a very nice effort, enough to draw interest into the real events.
