Dauntless: The Battle of Midway

In top three of my worst movie experiences. I like Judd, but this is a waste.

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.

I so wanted to give this Midway a positive review but unfortunately, it sucked! The battle was Ill defined and unsatisfying throughout. The personal stories were plagued by poor dialogue and unending in their and my torture. The movie suffered for trying to focus on both storylines without doing justice to either. I am heartedly disappointed.

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.

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.
