a5c7b9f00b The battle of midway is done with captions to identify historical characters. Historically accurate in its major points, a subplot of an American flyer who is engaged to a Hawiian girl of Japanese descent has been added. This is the battle in which the previously undefeated Japanese fleet was stopped in a battle during which all damage was done by aircraft. The opposing fleets never saw each other.
A dramatization of the battle that was widely heraldeda turning point of the Pacific Theatre of World War II.
Much was expected of this movie, followingit did such true historical epics"Patton" and "Tora! Tora! Tora!"….unfortunately what emerged is a huge bore-fest that manages to completely leech out any interest in the subject. How did "Midway" disappoint? Let us count the ways. First, Hollywood made a big mistake by turning it into a spot-the-star movie. Very distracting. When one views "Tora! Tora! Tora!", what you find is an ensemble cast of very competent character actors (same with "Patton", minus the two leads). "Midway" instead tries for all the "star power" it can muster,if big names alone will make a good film.<br/><br/>Next is the silly and ridiculous soap opera surrounding Chuck Heston, his pilot son, and a Japanese-American girl the son happens to be in love with. WHY WHY WHY was this included??? As a sop to the political correctness crowd? This subplot is both unnecessary and even painful to watch. The 1970's TV movie "Farewell to Manzanar" dealt with the subject more sensitively and with far more depth. The inclusion of this silly subplot reduced "Midway" to cartoon level. (That, and the comic-book characterizations of the stars, suchsuperman Heston who manages to be where ever anything of consequence is happening).<br/><br/>Personally, I didn't object to the extensive use of real footage (as some viewers have); at least they added something of authenticity to a movie that otherwise had little. They come offbetter than the battle footage that was shot for the movie, which is very inconsequential indeed! But what I strenuously objected to was the misuse of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" footage, which was completely out of place. I mean, a battleship's distinctive cage-mast on Midway Island? Give me a break. Yes,others have posted, there were many historical inaccuracies in the planes and ships used; though after seeing the travesty "Pearl Harbor", THIS film's sins don't seem so bad now!!!<br/><br/>The whole look and feel of the movie fairly screams SEVENTIES! The haircuts are too long, even for civilians of 1942, let alone military men. Especially laughable is the first scene with Yamamoto – an Japanese Imperial Navy aide comes in to tell him of the Doolittle Raid, and this young officer actually has a long page-boy haircut flowing to his shoulders! Like he's ready for the disco floor! Such lack of attention to detail is found throughout the movie. Very sloppy.<br/><br/>Interesting that the TV version added about a half-hour to the running time, and told the story of the preceding Battle of the Coral Sea. As a history buff, I found this interesting, but for most viewers I'll bet it just added to the tedium. Finally, the use of the Sensurround gimmick (pioneered in "Earthquake") in the theaters was an unnecessary distraction. I personally found it annoying, and I heard many stories of the problems Sensurround created for the theaters and adjacent businesses. Fortunately it was a short-lived gimmick!
"Midway" (1976): This one isgood"Tora Tora Tora" for recreating a major battle of World War II. Though entirely filled with established stars (and soon-to-bes), "Midway" does a great job of retelling the important U.S. defeat of Japan on the Pacific in 1942. Flip-flopping between the Japanese and the Americans, we watch code breaking, fact checking, logical guesswork, chess-gaming, and just plain good and bad luck at work during a crucial, everything-is-at-stake moment in WWII history. What is especially gratifying is the respect given to the details and truth,wellthe use of much original battle footage. The war was 30 years over at the release of this film, but those who survived were there to see it was done right.

The hit Universal movie, Midway, opened in Chicago on Friday, June 18, 1976, in the Loop at the United Artists theatre, and four other area cinemas. An ad read: "In Sensurround–the sights, sounds and actual sensations of combat. So real you can feel it!" In Technicolor and Panavision, Rated PG<br/><br/>___________________________
