This is another great war movie that shows you a different perspective of battle, which is the view from the officers. In this view we see different high levels go at it about what course of action they should take to best protect their ships, and to destroy Japan. This means you loose a lot of action and battle scenes, but it is replaced with a great plot and the view of what goes on before and during the battle in order to make sure you get the advantage. The acting is also very good giving you a very believable sense of what it would be like to be a captain, or a commanding officer for Japan. Overall this is a good movie and it is a movie that anyone who likes war movie has to see. It is also one of the more well known movies so its worth seeing just so you can talk about it and have a good conversation with other war movie junkies. So i would say this weekend go out and rent Midway, its a great movie and is worth watching.
This is a great movie that i would recommend to anyone who wants a good movie, and has the time to watch a long movie. This has everything a great movie needs with action, a good plot, and a care for the characters in the movie. Also the movie has great picture and sound making you feel like your really there along with the other troops fighting to save the world from evil. Another important thing the movie does is it tries to stay close to a believable battle, and does not try to amp up the action by adding things that were not there before. Finally the movie makes great stride in allowing the viewer to connect its hero's in the past, to its hero's of today by showing in the beginning of the movie a character that is seen in the movie later in his life. With all these features working together in one great movie, it is hard not to want to watch it again and again, which can sometimes be hard with a movie of this length.
