A cartoon war movie

Rating: 4/10 (15 February 2020)

Forgive me. I made the mistake of watching Midway after watching 1917 and here are my takeaways. 1917 is high art from its camerawork, set design and action. Midway is not. It's a poor depiction of war which plays and looks more like a video game. Complete with over the top computer generated effects and unrealistic characters being superheroes.
The special effects are terrible here, laughable even and the characters are even worse. I could have sworn I was watching a parody. This is a cartoon war movie compared to 1917 void of any emotional weight. Shame because the real story is so compelling.
I am surprised the ratings are as high as they are. This was a big disappointment.
