Midway 2019 - Movie Review and Historical Critique

A Midway movie review and historical critique. We explore how the film performs as a traditional movie and how it performs as a piece of historical media. You can watch our Midway documentary here: • How did the US Navy win the Battle of Midway?

This Midway review starts with an overview of the historical accuracy of the film which is strong. Then we cover how this comes at the expense of the plot and the acting. Finally we conclude with a discussion of the sound and visuals before finally examining how accurate the history portrayed on camera is. In these matters we cover the pre-war scene, Pearl Harbor, Marshall and Gilbert raids, the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and finally Pearl Harbor.

I hope you enjoyed this Midway review and our continued coverage of the US navy and naval history.
