Not bad

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2020)

Not sure if this was a necessary remake, but not bad for an almost exact remake of the original 1976 Midway. Not sure if they used actual WWII footage like the original or if it was great special effects, but a couple of the carrier crash landings looked like actual WWII footage. I like some of the casting choices like Woody. I felt the original showed more of the strategy of both the US and the Japanese. Overall I liked and the modern flight scenes, but close the canopy! From a real pilots perspective, you'd freeze your ass off in reality!! lol. This applies to a lot of aviation movies since the invention of the movie camera. Tom Cruise didn't fly with his canopy open!!
