“Midway” (***1/2 out of four) was a spectacular remake of the 1976 WWII classic focusing on the Battle Of Midway and the clash between the American fleet (Dennis Quaid, Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, and others) and the Imperial Japanese navy (Jun Kunimura, Tadanobu Asano, and others) which marked a huge pivotal point during the war. Extravagant (and extraordinary) visual effects and action scenes puts you right there in the midst of battle and holding on for dear life. Actual Midway scenes are so realistic you almost feel you’re watching a documentary! A sensational achievement for director Roland Emmerich in a tribute to the heroism of war and what may be his best film ever. Bullseye!
