Midway
Midway
MIDWAY centers on the Battle of Midway, a clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy which marked a pivotal turning point in the Pacific Theater during WWII. The film, based on the real-life events of this heroic feat, tells the story of the leaders and soldiers who used their instincts, fortitude and bravery to overcome the odds.

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.
