Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Christopher Nolan and others have proved that with the right director and approach, there is still great life to be found in stirring World War II movi…
But in the case of special effects groupie Roland Emmerich , the storied Battle of Midway that helped win the Pacific Theater is just an excuse for some hot-shot aerial battles, stilted dialogue that sounds like it is out of a 1940s recruitment film and a script that recycles every possible cliché in the genre.isn’t entertaining in its own old-fashioned way, but it just doesn’t really have a reason forbeyond the CGI of it all in an era where that just simply isn’t enough.
This time around a number of game actors are on board, but most like Woody Harrelson as Admiral Chester Nimitz, Dennis Quaid as Vice Admiral William Halsey and Aaron Eckhart as Col. Jimmy Doolittle don’t nearly have enough to do but plot out strategy and seem wasted here, though Eckhart seems comfortable in the role at least.
Still if you’ve never seen a WWII movie, this one likely will work for you on some visceral level. But if you have seen about 400 of these in the past 80 years since Hollywood has been churning them out, it’s strictly the advanced technology and the crackerjack flying sequences that are worth a trip to the theater. Like I said,can be fun and entertaining to watch, but it seems like a movie that is a step out of its time with nothing new to say.
Producers are Harald Kloser and Emmerich. Lionsgate releases it today. Check out my video review with scenes from the film by clicking the link above.Read More About:
