Midway Ratings & Reviews
- DaveJuly 3, 2025I 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.
- Shamus2kDecember 8, 2024Put 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.
- indyplex01June 19, 2025Good 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.
