The film takes on too much.

Rating: 5/10 (8 February 2020)

Like many modern war movies, they have tried to tell too much. The story is supposed to be about the battle of Midway. Yet for some reason they felt the need to cover Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle Raid, Coral Sea.... and in the end they don't have enough time to tell the real story of Midway.
We had some great actors in this film but they never really let the actors tell the characters story. In the end, when a character meets their fate, you don't feel any emotional attachment.
I sorry to say I have to recommend watching the original 1976 film which while it didn't have great CGI did involve you with the characters so you had a feeling of the human aspect to the battle.
