Fast and Furious: Midway Edition

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2020)

I was not expecting much from "Midway". As soon as I watched the trailer I already knew that this was going to be a bad movie, but I decided to give it a shot anyway.
Technically, the movie is awful on every aspect: impossible explosions, unrealistic airplanes monoeuvres and incredibly bad action in general. Some green screen scenes are terrible. From an Hollywood movie you are expecting more, considering the budget. After 20 years Pearl Harbour has better effects and cinematography and still today remains one of the best and solid movie about that period. This movie reminded me the Fast and Furious saga, that I always avoid.
Cast was good and overall the acting part is solid. No surprises here, there were a lot of well known actors, so at least characters are credible and entertaining. If you exclude fights battle (that are the 80% of the movie), the remaining 20% is well conceived: the movie is extremely balanced as shows the perspective of both americans and japanes, deepening some aspects that other movies such as Pearl Harbour or the original 1976 Midway, did not take in consideration, because too political and on the side of Uncle Sam.
I was not expecting a masterpiece, but neither this garbage. There are for sure better movies about the Midway battle.
