The Battle of Midway was an important turning point in the Pacific War in World War II, turning the whole situation around, and Japan's offensive in the Pacific was contained and counterattacked. Yamamoto said: "We awakened a giant and made him make a terrifying determination." The giant is of course the United States, whose geographical location is beyond the reach of others. It can be said that the direct reason for the United States' entry into the war was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is true that this is a historical film. Since it is history, it should abide by the most basic historical facts, and it is also a film, so it must also have an artistic attitude, and do some processing and sublimation. What we need is not documentaries, but films that dig stories in history. Exactly, he did it, and the director's ability to direct is evident.

    Three and a half. Unlike "Pearl Harbor" and "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge", this "Battle of Midway" has almost no emotional lines, and there will be no reflections like "Flags of Fathers", but a pure passionate, hard-core straight man. War films, military fans, and World War II fans will like it. The first half talks about the causes, and even a brief shot of "Pearl Harbor". The second half is a remake of the 1976 version of "Midway Island". The causes and consequences are explained clearly. , The impression is like taking a history class that has shocking sea and air battles. The two films that are not mentioned at the beginning are certainly not friendly to passers-by. The many characters on the scene are enough to confuse the blind. There are more special effects in war scenes, and the texture will be slightly worse, especially when you still remember the words of "Dunkirk".

    Overall, it's still a great movie, and the plot and CG are very good. The fly in the ointment is that the battle of the wild cats is completely absent, and it has become a personal show of fearless pilots, and the role of Captain Tomoyaga in Japan is not reflected. But still very good.
