Based on the true story of World War II’s Battle of Midway – a turning point in the Pacific theater of World War II. The story follows the real soldiers and aviators who pulled off the unbelievable to turn the tide of the war. Evans is portraying Commander Wade McClusky, who would go on to win a Naval Cross for his role in Midway. Harrelson will play Admiral Chester Nimitz, one of the leaders who lead the American naval fleet to victory in a forway that involved aircraft carriers, destroyers, and cruisers.
I would love to say that this movie was an awesome war movie but there was just something holding it back the whole time. Like . . . . it didn't look real enough. I feel like the bar has been raised so high for warlike special effects that this one pulled underneath it. And while I enjoyed the movie and the characters and what not it just seemed to be held back as subpar effort wise because of the effects thing.
I would still recommend people checking this out. It is a pretty decent watch. But nowhere near must see status because of that stuff holding it back.
