Atom User Reviews for Midway
I cried 20 minutes in. such a heart wrenching, breath holding, action packed incredible movie. instantly top of my list. hopefully this reawakened the lost patriotism and respect my generation doesnt seem to appreciate anymore.
The way the story was told, it was as if you were there. Your heart hurt for the soliders as they were lost. For someone who was not born yet it was eye opening to see what our soldiers did back then for us today.
I went into it thinking it was going to be a simple movie about WWII but was I wrong. this movie was epicly AMAZING. I plan on buying it once it comes out
This was great! So many great actors definitely a theater movie!
I love war movies based on true stories. This one by far is the best one I have ever seen besides Pearl Harbor. If you want to learn more about the attack in Pearl Harbor I highly suggest you to go see this movie it is definitely worth the money well spent!
Great movie. Had a great focus on the facts and didn’t stray away from the events. Worth watching
One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time.
movie was amazing! and i love the fact that they did their best to stay historically accurate.
Will be buying this movie
Excellent and great movie. I’ll watch it again anytime and recommend to everyone.
I love me some war films. This one did not fail and I really enjoyed it. Will be getting this to add to my War film collection.
Awesome movie!!! Do yourself a favor and go see it.
it ok not that good could be better
Great way to pay respect to both the Americans and Japanese.
Great historical picture.
highly recommend. great movie
Really reflect the war and action
It's a great movie.
Definitely seeing again! And absolutely buying this movie when it comes out!!
great sound with atmos
Plot was a little hard to follow at times, but it was entertaining anyhow.
Another Hollywood version of a historical moment in a turning point of WWII. Tragic and costly decisions on both sides of the conflict. A movie of the same events was made in the 70's Tora! Tora! Tora! which I liked a lot also.
amazing visuals
AMAZING MOVIE, for to look at a lot of time!!!!
This was an awesome, action packed movie. Thoroughly entertaining.
I'm not much of a history buff, so I went into it thinking I would probably be bored the whole time. Man, was I wrong! Such a captivating story, and I love that it was action packed almost right off the bat. The actors were all amazing! It was a great balance between…
Just watched the movie. To date, I had only seen one movie remake that was better than the original, True Grit. Midway is now the second movie where the remake is better than the original. What's even better about this one is that it is historically accurate to the point…
Way less romantic drama than Pearl Harbor. Great mix of action in historical fiction
Awesome Movie
Acting wasn’t the Best But it was still a good movie.
One conclusion I got for this movie is WAR SUCKS! Watching this again
great movie to the point no sappy love story, and great effects
Very gripping. The loss of life in WWII was tragic, “Midway” demonstrates the valor that accompanied that loss.
One of the best war movies I’ve ever seen
Great casting! Amazing acting! The story wasn’t just told through a American perspective, it was also told through a Japanese point of view!
It was the best movie I cried
Movie was amazing all the actors they chose to play the roles in the movie were perfect
This movie was incredibly touching to me because my little brother serves in the GREATEST USN. So many brave men.
this is a historical movie that today's kids should watch and know.
Mostly accurate and historical with my main gripe only being I wish it was longer.
Very well cast and stunning effects. Incredible realism and awesome vignettes at the end to update on the main characters.
Amazing and soo intense!
the best
awesome movie my wife and I loved it!!! Also the cast is excellent. good work. God bless those men.
Amazing movie
It’s good. Thank you for your service
Exceeded my expectations
The loss of life was so sad.
Go and see the movie.
Incredible movie. Very accurate and a true honor to sailors and airmen from both sides. A must see for all... never forget the price that’s been paid for freedom.
Metacritic
Wanting to honour history, Midway proves to be an oddly polite war film, afraid to be too exciting lest it interfere with the solemn tone.
Midway is so square, so old-school and old-fashioned, it almost feels avant-garde. Ambiguity is not its goal, nor is nihilism its motivating philosophy. It aims to celebrate heroism, sacrifice, determination and grit, and if you don’t like that it really does not care.
Midway will never be mistaken for a classic, and even box office success for the $100 independent production looks dicey. Stretches of the film work beautifully, though, and the sinking feeling for Japan’s forces is painted with sympathy, not schadenfreude.
