Poor acting, mediocre CGI and overly simplified

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2020)

I don't understand the high reviews for this one, I'm a war movie fan and have read quite a bit on the battle of midway.. while the movie contained the main points, it did nothing to demonstrate the subtleties of the strategies or tactics at play.. I can only imagine it must have seemed all over the place to someone who doesn't know about the battle.
I think it tried to emulate Dunkirk but failed horribly.
This is a war movie for a Chinese audience as far as I can tell, having watched a couple of recent Chinese backed productions this definitely had the same vibe.. former A list celebrities (I'm sure they were paid well), poor over the top cgi and shallow storytelling.
