Fantastic! Like an action-packed documentary!

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2019)

I had a feeling that this movie wouldn't disappoint me. And it was much better than I anticipated! It's straight forward, gets to the point without wasting time on any insignificant side-plots.
Instead it shows us the attack on Pearl, which I thought would be just a very quick introduction, and then the Doolittle and Marshall Islands raids before the actual battle of Midway. I couldn't ask for more action after all this.
Although the VFX of M.Bay's Pearl Harbor have aged well, this movie still gave us jaw-dropping battle scenes that feel huge, with a fair amount of screen time for the Japanese side. The Japanese fleet was gorgeous and I loved every shot of their ships.
'Midway' earned a place in my top favourite WW2 movies, along 'My Way', 'Cross of Iron', 'Thin Red Line' and 'Battle of Britain'.
