Dauntless: L'Enfer de Midway

You can tell the movie was cheaply made but that doesn't really bother me. What bothered me was the ending. Now I may have missed something but it left me saying "wtf?" because it didn't make sense on how they weren't rescued but someone else was? I don't know. Like I said, I guess I'm lost.

This movie needs to be searched and rescued. Unfortunately even if found, it would be DOA. It's hard to imagine how you could make a film this bad about the battle of Midway, but the writers and director pulled it off. At least Lee got out early. Now that's a silver lining.

What a waste of time. At no point did the movie manage to make me feel anything for the characters and what a terrible and totally disappointing ending, which I of course can't describe in any detail here without spoiling the story. Both my wife and I were very disappointed with this movie.

Are you reading this because you wanted to see Midway? Well this is another movie, and I just wasted an hour on it and even the beer didn't make it any better. It's just horrible: bad CGI, bad acting, I didn't learn anything about the battle of Midway. I wish I could just see a 15 minute documentary about the battle and the 2 guys stranded at sea and whatever happened to them. Other reviews say the depiction of the ships and planes was historically accurate, so I'll give it +3 stars for the CGI and battle scenes, +2 for the story, -3 for making me accidentally see it instead of Midway, and +1 star for helping me forget my problems and feel very sorry for everyone involved in this fiasco.

While I enjoy a good war drama, I found this to be one big snooze fest. A watch once then forget about movie sorry.
