Review of Midway (2019) by Section20Mi6 — 16 Mar 2020

Emmerich's inconsistencies surely prove himself to be Michael Bay version 1.5. The first 25 minutes of Pearl Harbour attack could be just the best part this film has to offer with well-paced action sequences and dialogue.

The rest is purely bits and pieces of dramatic and repetitive battles with some subplots added into the mix to prove the heroic and unbelievable choices that Navy pilots make. The Aaron Eckhart's subplot is even more ridculous, following his journey into China then nowhere to be seen till the very end of the film.

With so many lazy and fast-jumping edits, Emmerich loses traction in the later part of the film, giving the audience little to none of the anticipation that the Pearl Harbour Attack built up.
