Rating: 2.5/4 --
War movies used to have dash and color and a certain corny sentimentality; Midway hardly even makes us care.

Rating: 2/5 --
Rather dull, although certainly elaborate enough
Kalamazoo Gazette
Rating: B- --
There are few surprises here, yet the feature remains dependably engaging and charmingly acted, helping the production hurdle a few questionable artistic choices as it attempts to resurrect history over 30 years after the fact.

Parallax View
[Midway] builds up a lot of tension about that battle, but delivers nothing new.

Los Angeles Free Press
The script is confusing and messy, with attention exclusively paid to the strategic problems of both sides, and its development is crude, dry, and boring. [Full Review in Spanish]

Product Description:
A star-studded World War II drama about the great air and naval battle in which the underdog Yanks--outnumbered by the huge Japanese flotilla--won American military supremacy in the Pacific. Leading them to their heroic victory is Admiral Nimitz and Captain Matt Garth, the latter a junior officer whose life is complicated by his son's romance with a Japanese-American girl.
