Why watch the movie Midway?
"The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which triggered the United States' entry into World War II, has been tackled on the big screen many times over the decades and from various angles (there's the classic 1953 romance 'From Here to Eternity' or 2001's Michael Bay-directed 'Pearl Harbor'). So it's hard to show something new on the subject and 'Midway' at least brings a different approach by depicting the eponymous battle, a decisive naval encounter that occurred six months after the Japanese invasion. Directed by Roland Emmerich ('Independence Day', 'The Day After Tomorrow'), the feature is more focused on surprising with a visual spectacle - with more refined special effects - than being a well-written drama, although the performances are convincing for part of a cast that includes Ed Skrein ('Deadpool'), Aaron Eckhart ('The Dark Knight'), Mandy Moore ('This is Us'), Nick Jonas ('Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle'), Luke Evans ('Fast & Furious 6') and Woody Harrelson ('Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri')."
