Terrible, inexcusable depiction of the Battle of Midway

Rating: 2/10 (16 November 2019)

This atrocious movie was nothing but CGI.
Anyone who was unaware of the events of the title battle and Pearl Harbor would have no more idea of what actually happened after seeing the film than he or she had before watching it. Almost every important step was either glossed over or not included at all. The pathetic script focused instead on a few main characters, their individual combat action, and almost nothing else. What an insult this movie is to the brave sailors and avaiators who fought and won this pivotal battle, which is the single most important one in the entire history of the U. S. Navy. Some have compared it favorably to the 1976 film with Fonda, Ford, Heston, Holbrook, Mitchum, et al; that is beyond absurd. I gave it two stars only because the cgi was pretty good, but the way they chose to tell the story would require negative stars to rate fairly. Blech!
