From a student of war history

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2019)

From my perspective and study of the Battle of Midway, this movie is very accurate in many of its portrayals of events. Having studied the maps of Pearl Harbor myself, I can see how the movie crew got this as accurate as possible.
The intelligence reports and suppositions of the intelligence officers were very much questioned by their superiors because the information was based on "new technologies" for gathering and studying the information. Thank God, Admiral Nimitz listened to the reports and acted upon them.
Having only witnessed the battle from the brief films of John Ford, I can only imagine (as did the screenwriters) the scope and horror of the battle.
My only question about the movie is, Why did most of the male cast members in major roles have the same jaw-clenching expression on their faces? To me, the only distraction in a very accurate depiction of the events leading up to and the Battle of Midway.
