Bring the tissues
This is such a beautiful story. It is something of an emotional roller coaster of a plot set in WWII without getting too heavy. Not recommended for first five dates or immediately after any kind of loss- unless you need to "ugly cry"

I'm not really a huge fan of WWII films, my mom used to watch them endlessly when I was a kid.
I didn't expect the movie to start off pre-Pearl Harbor. Did I need to see it again? No. There's a whole 2+ hour movie based around it. While the film is title Midway, it went through the events of the Pacific Theater up until Midway. I guess to give a background for people that weren't forced to watch WWII films as children.
The actors did a good job with their characters. The action was also very good. The film featured a lot of dive-bombing, which was both exhilarating and terrifying to watch.
The thing I liked the best was that they cast a famous Texan (Woody Harrelson) to play Admiral Nimitz, also a badass Texas. Good job, filmmakers.

It was definitely on the brink of being annoying. In my brain, I kept comparing the vfx to Dunkirk.

I wasnt the slightest bit surprised after watching this to find out it was a Robert Zemeckis film. It centres far too much on the romance side and is very lacking in tension, action or suspense. The acting is good but nothing special, and I just found the whole thing a little boring. Could be due to expecting a spy film rather a romantic WWII drama.
