An insult to those who were there: ToraToraTora's afterbirth that has been mangled and bludgeoned to death.

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2020)

Where to start.... Well the only reason this seems to pass as a 7 star is nationalism, nothing more nothing less.

The movie seems to at least take the historical events serious and is partly historically accurate. That is the biggest pluspoint of the movie.
Sadly the script is bad, it lacks narrative, coherence, has tons of cliches and simply doesn't give the actors anything to make their character feel real or alive. Simply put it feels like they got a high school drama club with no experience in plays or acting to write it. The American characters are like cardboard and the japanese like a piece of paper, there in no depth(or attempt to create one) in the characters. They're just superficial and it feels like they're there for the sake of the plot and nothing more.
The acting is so-so, it's mostly bad but here and there you can spot some decent acting. It mostly just feels like people are spitting their lines just to get it over with, not that they really could have done better with such an abomination of a script.
The CGI is just terrible, if there was a decent budget for it, somewhere along the lines there was a lot skimmed of and it looks like they went for their last resort, a guy living in his mothers basement.
My grandfather was at both Pearl Harbor and Midway and if he were alive today(god rest his soul) and gone to the cinema to watch this, he'd have ripped out his chair and thrown it through the screen. Sadly the only thing he can do now is roll over in his grave whilst the movie just milks money from the historical events without showing proper respect for those who died(American and Japanese).
The only "good" thing about this movie was that through some miracle there is no pushing of a political agenda. Together with the fact that it's not completely historically inaccurate it's the only redeeming factor of this movie.
If I were to guess what ages they made the movie for I'd say younger than 12, because anyone older(and clear of mind) will zone out within half an hour.
How so many can rate this a 10 or even an 8 is beyond me. I guess patriotism makes people blind for the true disaster that is Midway(2019).
