When I was at school, the Battle of Midway was barely touched upon.

The Somme? Yep.

The Battle of Britain? Absolutely.

Pearl Harbour? Briefly.

That, I'm guessing, would be completely different if I lived in America (instead of, as I do, Great Britain).

So Midway, itself, was a battle that I really only learnt about in later life and then really only in the most general of terms.

This movie seeks to retell the events that led up to, and occurred within, that battle after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbo(u)r that led to the US joining the Second World War, Unfortunately, it's largely forgettable (and largely bloodless), with none of the cast really making all that much of an impact.
