This is a very good WWII movie and does an excellent job of staying true to history. Effects are great, and it shows what it would be like for those fighting in the battle. It’s the turning point of the Pacific war and a critical piece of American history. If you’re voting for Bernie, then skip it. Otherwise, you’ll love the true story of American exceptionalism.

This movie was excellent. It was balanced, captivating, and real. Visuals were on point.

Really sucked. Really really sucked. Like The Day After Tomorrow but without the exciting weather phenomena (but including the requisite two dimensional characters and horrible dialogue).

My grandson couldn't understand why the young pilot decided to go back out for a second dive bomber attack...there was a good chance he wouldn't survive. I told him, "This is why we hold our hand over our heart when our flag is raised. These men were willing to give their lives for our freedom". This movie is well worth watching.

AWESOME MOVIE

So I thought this movie was a fun watch, but to give it anymore than three stars would be an insult to movies that really take the accuracy of history, war tactics and other relevent aspects that would typically immerse you into what it was like to be there. This movie shines during the heat of the battle, but the filler was really tropey and blah, the acting on the american side was surprisingly bad and I finished the movie underwhelmed and unmoved, as others said I have no idea how people can give it 5 stars and call it the best war movie you've ever seen, maybe their paid, but it's also not a 1 star movie either.

I've always been fascinated with the battle of Midway. I wanted to love this movie. It has several well known and amazing actors, but each performance given on screen falls flat. The pacing is terrible. It jumps from major event to event making it difficult to follow. The Midway (1976 film) with Charlton Heston is so much better. Unless your a die hard World War 2 film fan I would give this a pass.

I doubted this would be a good movie. Once I saw Roland Emmerich was directing, I lost almost all faith for it. Sorry to say, because he is talented at crafting epic movies, but he’s usually only good at visual effects. His movies are too often terribly written and overstuffed with pointless exposition.

And much of the same problems arise here. The narrative is just too much. Too many characters are focused on and it’s hard to follow. Some of the dialogue was indeed bad, but here’s where I got surprised. The pointless humor scenes of side characters are mostly at a minimum in this film. We actually get SOME character development in an Emmerich film. And man, the battle scenes are just so intense. I would have removed some of the beginning scenes and made the attack on Pearl Harbor the opening, but that’s just me.

Overall, this is a pleasant surprise for me. It’s good. Not great. But filled with enough brilliant moments to overshadow the horrendous ones. The acting is on point and Emmerich makes sure to not get too carried away with plot driving the movie like in his usual blockbusters. There is actually some character-driven stuff here. And I love it.

The script and acting was terrible. I’m really surprised by all the great reviews. Too bad, this movie had so much potential.

An all star stellar cast, and amazing special effects...you will enjoy every minute of it. Forget what the critics said, this is a top rated true war story.

This remake of a 70’s film is incredible, sure there’s some historical inaccuracies but pretty much all war movies have to change things up for pace or make up what people said to eachother but over all the film was stunning to watch. The effects were top notch and the film entertains which is most important. If you like WWII films you will like this as long as you accept there’s a few inaccuracies.

Special effects were amazing but the acting from a great cast was corny and i couldn’t watch it after 20 minutes. Not worth it sadly.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2 14 (2020)

Really enjoyable and very accurate.

I only wish there were more war movies like this

If anyone offers a bad review for this movie they don't deserve to be on the internet. This movie was excellent. The best war movie in YEARS and perhaps the greatest Navy movie of all-time. No corny love story or side adventures. Just nitty gritty story telling. This could have been a series but with the time limit of a feature film they pack in a lot. Amazing job to all involved! Bravo.

A wonderful film!! It was heroic yet somberly time in history.

I saw the documentary first a couple of years back and saw it again before watching movie, and I gotta say it’s like a documentary they got everything very right, people forget or don’t know that this was made as things happened exactly, it was not supposed to build up characters nor be very Hollywood, this is an extremely good example of what the soldiers went through, people that give this movie a bad review obviously didn’t pay attention in social studies class nor have any idea of what soldiers went through, in the real war soldiers didn’t get build up for drama sh*t just happened and they had to defend themselves

I noticed in the banner of new movies it says “own midway for $14.99”, but when you go to buy it says the price in $19.99. Which one is correct?

I'm confused why people keep saying this movie is good. There is not a lot of action, terribly acted, bad script and the list goes one. The original film ius much better in every way and almost any movie beats this for a war film. Seriously redbox this thing but don't buy it. It's a slow film that doesn't build up characters and when these characters die there is not really any feeling of loss in the moment, wished this could have been a good film, but seriously it's not.

I’ve never seen a better movie in my opinion. I strongly recommend this to anyone.

First and foremost, ITS A MOVIE, NOT A DOCUMENTARY!!!

That being said, it’s still an awesome movie to watch. CGI is a little over the top on some scenes, but like I said, ITS. A.MOVIE

I loved this movie. I feel this was better having real Japanese actors compared to 1976 Charlton Heston. Will this movie become 4K and include iTunes Extras on home video and iTunes once it’s finally released?

Look, I'm a history nut, so I was going to see this. After so many disappointments, this one got it right. The historical accuracy is high (right down to the case of Shingles taking out their most trusted commander). The action, including the dive bombing, was great. My wife, who isn't exactly a Midway type person saw it with me twice and loved it. Well acted, well paced, well structured...and it skipped the gore movies give us to take us to the reality of war but makes it impossible to watch. Cannot recommend it more!

This was the movie Pearl Harbor should have been!

This was one of the best movies I watched.

A well balanced combination of action and history. The best generation of all time.

This is an accurate ww2 film for once, they use cgi which for some reason people complain about while i think it is just fine, the only thing is that some of the maneuvers are unaccurate as you can’t instantly go in a stall dive from just putting the throttle to 0%. But enough of cons and come in the pros, 1 they focus on the pacific front, when people see ww2 lots of them think of nazis and the European theater because of the atrocities that happened their, but the Japanese has a lot in their front to like midway, iwo-Jima, and Pearl Harbor. I do like how they had included Pearl Harbor, and the doo-little raid, the doo-little raid was one of the most important raid in ww2, I would rank it with the dam busters as they struck Tokyo right after Pearl Harbor, it helped restore morale that would be necessary to win the war. So overall, it is a great movie that values history and action in the same value, it is a must see movie for 2019 and should gain a few oscars for their great film!

I say it’s quite excellently fine

Don’t listen to the critics because they are the people that couldn’t make it into movie business.

A great way to learn about the battle and is also a very good movie.

Great War Movie! Watch it and you won’t be disappointed! This is great! Everyone is great, especially Nick Jonas!

Smh, I just saw someone complain about too much killing in this (WAR) movie.

Saw this movie in theaters. It was great! Great acting, great visuals, great story of America’s hero’s. Totally recommend.

Great movie, very surprised! Awesome combat scenes, historical and patriotic! I love it!

I loved it and I can’t stop thinking about it

This movie is awesome I love it .only thing is a lot of killing .one important character is tied to an anchor and thrown into water and another charter is flying and crash’s in water and the air craft carrier runs him over and r.i.p.rather than that this move is awesome.4 stars

It’s amazing to me, that such a beautiful movie with such a vivid script can have critical reviews that suggest that the movie was developed enough in plot for screen time. The movie explains everything surrounding the events of midway, starting pre-war all the way through the finish. It’s beautiful, the actors are into it, and it really gives you a sense of the significance of the events. It’s an amazing war movie. I haven’t seen such a good movie adaptation that can be appreciated by everyone since Saving Private Ryan

Best movie this year by far!!

THESE MOVIE IS REALLY ADDICTIVE TO WATCH BUT FOR NEWER PHONES ESPECIALLY APPLE TV 4K NEEDS THIS MOVIE TO BE 4K WE HOPE BEFORE THIS MOVIE RELEASE ON ITUNES MAKE IT 4K THANKS...

The film was great, I am a hardcore ww2 buff so I noticed a few historical inaccuracies. But nothing to make me hate the film in any way, the acting was good, the things they got right and the effort to do so is commendable.

Also the dedication to both sides of the battle was amazing it reminded me greatly of the movie Gettysburg in the reasoning of it was told on both sides.

Great movie over all and a must watch for anyone

IT IS A AWESOME MOVIE

It is one of the best patriotic war movies I’ve seen in years! The obvious attempt at accuracy is commendable, especially for Hollywood. It makes your chest swell with pride, all the while helping you to truly appreciate the sacrifices made by young Americans.

Much better than the 1970’s version. Lots of action, drama, and good acting. I felt like I was really there in the war with the pilots.

CRITICS ARE STUPID they go to college for years for nothing they are idiots.Best ww2 movie in years!!!
