The trailers look pretty Good. Thought?

[pfflier]

IMO The battle of Midway has never been covered the way it should be. The 1970's movie used recycled footage from Tora Tora Tora and had the cheesy Japanese girlfriend story line.

No movie yet has adequately covered the sacrifice of the aviators that died enabling the SBDs to kill off the carriers.

Online reviews weren't too kind when viewing the trailers. To me they seem hyper technical but they are valid. Here is a sample:

I don’t like Woody Harrelson. Doesn’t matter as I doubt I’ll ever go to a theater again anyway.

[bort]

Yes, I will give it a shot. I can’t stand most of the movies that come out of Hollywood. But I will give this one a try.

[ssaftler]

I’m on the fence on this one. The previews look fairly interesting. However, the ads on TV say that it is “Based on the UNTOLD true story”. Definitely a “red flag” meaning it’s probably a lot of SJW crap.

Put me down as 60/40 in favor of seeing it.

Check out this animation on youtube; I thought it was excellent:
“The Battle of Midway 1942 from the Japanese Perspective”

I don’t think he ever put out part two.

“The Battle of Midway movie releases on November 8. Let’s have a closer look at the trailer and provide some critique. Parts of it look alright, which was unexpected.”

[hardspunned]

It does look pretty good but who knows? They might do to Midway what Bruckheimer did to Pearl Harbor 20 years ago.

[Sans-Culotte]

I intend to see it.

[bort]

I heard it will tell the real story of Midway. Women of color were not allowed to fly the missions. LGBTQ pilots made up 90% of the pilots. The Japs got offended because we called them Japs. And we so ruined the environment.

"Is anyone going to see the Midway Movie that is coming out Vets Day Weekend?"

~~~~~~~

Probably -- but, I'm going to spoil it: I'm going to do a deep study of the battle and surrounding events beforehand.

In particular, I'll study lots of maps, so I can create my own "mental movie" of all the ship and plane movements, ahead of time.

I just watched the docu on Midway-battles that changed the course of history. Done by a Brit and a pretty good job, although kinda an overview in ways.

Anyways, just to think, in 6 short months the USA came from being blindsided and losing all over the Pacific to sinking 4 carriers of the enemy, three of them in 5 minutes, and changing the power of the Pacific theater from Japan to the USA.

The Lord Almighty was with us in that one. A complete miracle with all the luck involved.

[Bullish]

I don’t know, is Matt Damon or Ben Aflec in it? If either one of those guys are in it then it’s a NO.

I don’t buy either one of them in anything.

[Mathews]

I’m taking both of my boys.

[neverevergiveup]

At this point, I decide whether or not to see a movie based upon who is making money off of it.

[clintonh8r]

No, because the trailers look like something as bad as that Pearl Harbor movie. Might see “1917” though.

[Wilum]

I enjoyed the first version,especially in the beginning when the B-25’s were cranking up. The theater had surround sound. As our tradition,my daughter and I will see this version as her generation should to get the idea, if not totally accurate, the sacrifice that this nation suffered then. I have used similar movies as a vehicle for her to understand that sacrifice. Granted they weren't the most accurate but it raised her interest to further check the history.

See ya at the movies, first time in years LOL

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Any lefties involved in making it ala that Man on the moon movie where then banned the US flag? I definitely am interested but I want to make sure first it’s Treasoncrat free

[Red in Blue PA]

I will probably watch THE PACIFIC instead. That is truly one of the best series on the war in the Pacific to never come out. Anyone here who has not seen this yet needs to do so before even thinking about this new movie.

Only if it is in Academy Award winning SENSURROUND!
