Pazifik, 4. bis 7. Juni 1942: Demokratie und Freiheit stehen auf dem Spiel, als es nach dem Angriff auf Pearl Harbour bei den abgelegenen Midway-Inseln zu einem entscheidenden Aufeinandertreffen kommt, bei dem die zahlenmäßig geschwächte US-amerikanische Marine und Luftwaffe allen Widrigkeiten trotzt, um sich einem in jeder Hinsicht überlegenen Gegner zu stellen. Mit Mut, außergewöhnlicher Entschlossenheit und historisch beispielloser Gefechtskunst konfrontieren sie die Kaiserlich Japanische Marine in einer atemberaubenden Luft- und Seeschlacht, die den entscheidenden Wendepunkt des Pazifikkrieges einleiten soll …

    I really enjoyed this movie when it came out but hadn’t been drawn back to it for a few years. I decided to give it another watch the other day and found that it’s improved with time. The story was great, the special effects were really well done, and the stress you feel as a viewer in the face of insurmountable odds is something the director deserves credit for. It’s not a Saving Private Ryan-quality WWII movie, but definitely a great film to depict the terrible position the U.S. was in on the Pacific front. A perfect balance of wartime stress, emotional connection, and loss—with heroes of the time rising and falling at a perfect pace. The Greatest Generation deserves our admiration for what they accomplished.

    Looks pretty stunning in 4k!

    Put some great acting talent into a technical showpiece that suffers from some of the quickest aging CGI effects to date and you'll see a lost opportunity to revisit one of histories greatest naval battles. Sadly, there's not much to learn about history here, and the drama is lost in the glitz. Perhaps a Lucas-like special edition down the road fixing the terrible CGI may give it a rebirth, but the writing will probably hold it back even then.

    Very accurate telling of the battle of Midway.

    Woody is atrocious, Dennis Quaid is awful, most of the dialogue is awful and the CGI is beyond terrible. Having said that, it's still a pretty decent watch.

    Great film well worth watching lots of action

    I love war movies, in particular events taken place in WWII. Midway captures the feel of a naval sea battle to emerse you in the combat with some amazing visuals and killer Atmos audio track. Highly recommended.

    CGI is a bit fake looking at times but otherwise a good watch. If you like anything military or aviation like myself than this is a must watch. Based of true events, I thoroughly enjoy it.

    “Pearl Harbor is the greatest intelligence failure in American history” - Edwin Layton Not bad, but I am sticking with the ‘76 original.
  • indyplex0119. Juni 2025
    Good battle visuals but the ending felt very rushed and sudden. It was repetitive, so if you REALLY enjoy dogfights, fireballs, and watching sailors smoke cigarettes, this movie is for you. Otherwise it’s worth a watch but I wouldn’t dedicate a night to it.

    Watching Midway (2019) felt like stepping into a digital war museum—loud, proud, and packed with spectacle. Roland Emmerich doesn’t hold back on the visual effects, and while some of the CGI feels over-polished, the aerial combat scenes are undeniably thrilling. The film tries hard to honor the real-life heroes of the Battle of Midway, and I respect its commitment to historical accuracy, even if the storytelling sometimes gets lost in the noise. Ed Skrein’s portrayal of Lt. Dick Best is bold, if a bit cartoonish, and Woody Harrelson brings gravitas as Admiral Nimitz. The dialogue can be stiff, and the emotional depth doesn’t quite reach the level of Saving Private Ryan, but it’s still a solid tribute to courage under fire. Based on my own viewing, I’d give it a 3.6 out of 5. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a respectable salute to one of WWII’s most pivotal battles.

    Solid war movie. Planes go pew pew. Not very realistic but historically accurate with artistic liberties. Good enough for a second watch when you're bored.

    I enjoyed watching this remake again. The visual effects are a huge upgrade when compared to the original, of course. The acting isn't bad, considering the actors are portraying real people in many instances. I thought Dennis Quad's makeup made him look a bit young for his portrayal of Admiral Halsey, but that is on me. Sometimes I get stuck on little things that really don't matter.

    Really good movie although I think the choice to go go a very polished cliche look at the battle took away from it a little, perhaps a more gritty realistic look at the battles would have aided better. Some of the dialogue was very cliche also which I wasn't a fan of, but all in all it was a good movie 🙂
