true story ? i wonder if they will show the dozen of american squadrons in obselete planes
that didnt score a single bomb or torpedo hit on any of the japanese carriers or ships cause they attacked one at a time and without any fighter support, suffering 75%+ casualties ...
and how it was pure luck they actually found an attack window of around 30-45 mins where there enemy carriers where at their most vulnerable with planes fully fueled and armed on the decks and in the hangars
those where some brave ( i dare say stupid brave kamikaze like ) pilots, the first waves didnt stand a chance and it was a pure suicide mission
I guess M.Bay's Pearl Harbor wasn't big enough of a flop. Now they'll let that other hack Emerich give the thing a try with Midway.
Come the fuck on HBO. We want Master of the Air already for some "actually good" air battle action.
Indeed! I wish they'd give us some updates besides the generic 'it will come..someday'. If we're lucky we could see a late 2020 or early 2021 release, though there is quite a bit of secrecy when it comes to the actual filming.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
I thought it was pure crap - bad acting, bad script and sometimes really horrible cgi (not always though - some cgi was nice).
The battlesound was odd - sometimes it was almost silent while characters was talking..
I love ww2 movies/books/games/documentaries etc etc...but this one felt like a really low budget movie.
Edit: Concidering how important battle of Midway was - I was expecting to see a movie with Saving Private Ryan / Band Of Brothers quality...
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
I have the strongest impression that this is the standard review for any product TV or movie by an average Humper whether he'd seen it, watched a trailer or read about it in the news.
Saving private Ryan has a better script? Really? Band of brothers - yeah, sure, but it's a dozen of hours and shows real people in trenches. In movies like Midway you barely have time for two patriotic speeches and a few heroic dialogues between pew-pew scenes.
Acting was top notch for the genre. Nothing to write home about but it was perfect for a 2hr patriotic vid.
And the japanese guys. Perfect acting there, no?

I agree to disagree.

There is only one relevant question: Is it a standard Emmerich movie? You know exactly what I mean (oh and I'm really eager to learn how he implemented the estranged, divorced father role into a WWII movie Is it an estranged, dishonored army general taking care of a young soldier? )
Yeah, good standard Emmerich movie. Lots of menly action and very few lines for women, as it should be Lots of CGI though and I'm pretty sure they didn't have a single real plane on set ever. Compared to e.g. Dunkirk or 1917 it seemed really cheap and like a video game. Visually it was not as good as older Emmerich movies it is so obviously CGI but at least you can see what is going on during action scenes.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
