Roland Emmerich's take on America's World War II is a big, noisy blockbuster that really does deliver in the action stakes and is not too shabby in other areas either. The compression of the timeline makes for lively and engaging storytelling, as the film starts with the Pearl Harbour attack and keeps going from there. Indeed, a lot of the visual vocabulary from the Michael Bay movie has become standard and is evident here, but a mostly strong cast humanises the unfolding events well, making Midway solid blockbuster entertainment overall.
