Blows the 1976 Midway Film Out of the Water

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2019)

This film does an excellence job of telling the story of the first six months of the Pacific Theatre of WWII in just a bit over 2 hours. I especially liked the inclusion of the Doolittle Raid as the Japanese attack on Midway was an attempt at retaliation for the attack on Tokyo because it cause a considerable loss of face to Tojo the Japanese Army.
There are no actors wasted on fictional characters and no nonsensical romances mucking up the film. The Japanese speak Japanese. Admiral Yamamoto's ability to speak English is also revealed. Thanks to CGI, the actual ships and planes that were used in the battles are accurately depicted, including those which are now at the bottom of the Pacific.
