Critics Consensus: Midway revisits a well-known story with modern special effects and a more balanced point of view, but its screenplay isn't quite ready for battle.

David Griffiths

Midway seems to be a movie that is better suited for the serious movie lover who will enjoy a movie that is more about historically correct then it is being there for entertainment.

The focus of a war film should be on the men and women who fight and for what they are fighting. Without that setup, Midway is just a spectacle of violence.

'...even if involvement with individuals is not great, the whole spectacle is highly impressive. David Mamet’s suggesting that a blockbuster movie is more like a pageant than a story applies here... a living tableau of deep blue hero action…’

Midway is a respectful homage to the people who fought in the Battle of Midway, but it fails to deliver an engaging story with compelling characters. It's a shame that a visually impressive film possesses such an emotionally dull story.

The Battle of Midway is one of the most amazing stories in military history and I was very pleased to see a new film featuring that story. MIDWAY (2019) is the rare war film that gets more points for historic accuracy than for entertainment.
