5 out of 5 stars Still a classic    December 30, 2008
Donna B (Hawaii)
This Midway DVD is fabulous. The sound is awesome, the cast is exceptional, and it is historically correct. As a Navy wife, I loved it as much as Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's Remembrance

A christmas present for my husband. He had been talking about this movie for sometime now so I am giving it to him in 2 days.


3 out of 5 stars The Only Midway Movie    October 4, 2008
Michael Mandaville (California, USA)
This is the only movie about the epic battle of Midway which means that its the one that you'll have to watch to get any taste about this incredible pivotal turning point in the war in the Pacific. What can I say?

*You get some great performances from excellent actors like Henry Fonda.
*There's a melodramatic father and son plot between Heston and a young Edward Arnold over his Japanese girlfriend.
*Historical figures are played by up and coming or known actors.
*A documentary type feel for both the Japanese and American timelines which works to some extent.
*A pastiche of footage from other sources which the filmakers used to 'fill in the gaps' in the plot with an acceptable but sometimes inauthentic feel. You've seen this footage in other movies.

I've always wanted to remake this film. Maybe some day.

John E. Mason (Harrisburg,, Pa United States)
I have this movie on VHS but the DVD version is outstanding. The sound and quality of the picture are supurb. Just as I remember seeing it when it first came out in the theater.


5 out of 5 stars A great recreation    September 16, 2008
Yaacov Ben Avraham (Kfar HaRoeh, Israel)
The film accurately recreates the single most important sea battle which changed the outcome of the war against the Japanese Empire. The acting is realistic and superb by two of Hollywoods greatest actors, Charlton Heston and Henry Fond.
