Hilarious CGI cartoon version of real events

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2020)

The CGI in this movie was so exaggerated that it gave the whole film a cartoonish, 'war game' look...
That said, maybe the script, the acting or something could save it.
Sorry! The characters, if you could call them that, were two dimensional sterotypes of lantern jawed, all American heroism. No nuance whatsoever. The producers did try to inject a bit of humanity into the story, but again, it came across as twio dimensional soap opera.
Some laugh out loud scenes, when they just got it sooooo wrong it was 'bad enough to be good' e.g. The Japanese aircraft carrier taking 'evasive' action to avoid a US torpedo, with the maneuverability of a small, speedboat! Worth a look just for that.
And there are other richly satisfying ups...
Worth a look. Very entertaining, but don't expect a realistic account of the battle of Midway. Watch with an open mind and I'm sure you'll be entertained, and may even get a few laughs, as I did.
