I score it around 6.8. Recommend it for war movie fans

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2019)

Not familiar with the details or the art of war used in the battle of Midway but I will definitely be checking it out after watching this film. After watching this film I can't even imagine how all those people felt in the midst of such a battle. Seems like something terrifying and that feeling of watching those men in battle is what makes me think it is a good war film. It seems to go into detail regarding the occurrences of the battle and the ones that lead to it with almost all of the main characters having really existed (unlike the character of Ben Affleck in Pear Harbour for example).
On the other hand, the dialogue at some point seems a little cartoonish with characters saying or even behaving like what I would see in a cartoon or anime. It's normal that in cinema you often see people not behaving or talking like you see in real life but the film seemed to exaggerate at times.
The CGI are sufficient to transmit the feeling but not nearly enough for a film with a battle of this scale and historical importance lol. At times it seemed like the characters were looking at a screen with a movie playing (especially during the Pearl Harbour bombing scene).
But all in all, I recommend it for people who like war and/or historical movies.
