Just found out that the Chinese funded slot of that picture. Trying to figure out if see it at theater or wait and watch it at home on big screen.

Great! I have already bought tickets for tomorrow and was hoping it wouldn’t be too bad. My 12 year old is a big history buff and really wanted to see this movie. We are also looking forward to seeing ‘1917’ in December.

I’ve seen the one made in the 70s countless times. I will probably go see this one.

The movie doesn't have Lt. Commander John C. Waldron as a character.

He's the one who won the Battle of Midway. WTAF.

I'm sure it's a good viewing experience, but let's give credit where credit is due.

Waldron for the win - pulling the Japanese CAP down to the deck, so they couldn't interfere with the Dauntless divebombers who showed up at altitude just after the slaughter of the American torpedo bombers.

LTC Waldron: "If we run out of gas, we'll piss in the tanks."

Haven’t seen Midway myself. But, just heard on the radio a devastating one-star review by a professional film critic. Won’t repeat the specifics because it’s now obvious to me why the critic bashed the film. He must be a Blame-America-First zealot determined to limit the number of people who see this film during its theatrical run so as to limit, in turn, the number of red-blooded Americans who end up being positively affected by its patriotic message.

Can’t believe I almost fell for this ploy. Penance...Penance...Penance... :-)

Because of all the political garbage, I don’t go to many movies at the theaters. I’ve been wanting to see this one. Thanks for the recommendation.

Trailer, clips here -

(I have to check clips first with movies to see if they’re nothing but the usual wham-bam CGI fests that make up most films in recent years)

Wow - after seeing some previews I was thinking this movie will just be another "special effects overdose" of CGI. And I wasn't going to see it. But after reading these comments about the message of the movie, I think I've changed my mind.

Thanks everyone !

Thanks to everyone for not spoiling it by telling the ending. :-).

Last movie I saw in the theater was "They Shall Not Grow Old" almost a year ago. Which I just noticed has finally had a domestic release in Bluray.

Just added Midway to my Netflix queue. It’ll probably be released to DVD some time in Jan or Feb, 2020.

Imagine, you know someone who doesn’t know anything about WW2...

Not hard to imagine. You're talking about the average recent high school graduate.

Just out of curiosity, did the movie include any mention of the Thatch Weave?
