[9.6] A wonder of a movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2020)

Those of us to whom the battles of WWII and cinematic productions made about them are important, will find Midway a must-watch.
Sometimes a production is so well made that wanting to review it seems needless, as the gem speaks for itself; and the title is one of those bright and colorful ones.
Will keep this review short and clear as it deserves so.

The screenplay, development, cinematography, filming and CGI/VFX are top-notch.
The acting is wonderfully believable, strong and terrific at the same time, by both the Americans and Japanese cast. They really shone. My sincere admiration.
Roland Emmerich once again showed what a dexterous director he is in directing Action/Drama movies.
The movie succeeds awesomely in packing so much events and scenes in its runtime of 2h 18m. A huge win.

And finally, I bow to the 26-year Navy veteran, who wrote one of the best and memorable reviews that I've ever had the pleasure to read. Finding his review not helpful is a big and sad mistake.
Congratulations Sir. I learned a lot from your review.
Hopefully, the next time I check the movie's page on IMDb, it will have a lot more than just 836 reviews for such a superb production.
