Atom User Reviews
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.
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.
