Plot summary

By June 1942, the Japanese Navy has swept across the Pacific. In an effort to change the course of the war, a United States carrier group is positioned off the coast of Midway, tasked with springing a trap on the enemy. During this pivotal battle, the two-man crew of a U.S. Navy dive bomber is forced to ditch in the sea. Set adrift, the men look towards their comrades for rescue; namely, the ragtag crew of a PBY Catalina, who are sent to search for survivors. Amid the vast openness of the Pacific, with days passing and the chance of rescue fading, the men are forced to face their own mortality.

This movie is hard for me to review

This movie is hard for me to review. In large part, it is based on my father's experience at the Battle of Midway. He led his wing of Dauntless dive bombers in the attack that destroyed HIJMS Kaga. (Btw, he missed; a fact that my mother said bothered him for the rest of his - relatively short - life.) His plane was shot down, like most of the others in the attack. Then he spent 9 days in a rubber raft with his rear gunner. They were picked up by a PBY piloted by - the director told me that you can't get stuff like this in a movie - an old football friend of his from Mississippi. If you watch, you'll see my dad as a character in the film. So this is in the way of an heirloom for my family. And my review is based on the way the fight actually went. Above you hear many saying that the CGI is pretty good and it is. They also complain about the way the film is mainly about surviving after the attack on the Japanese carriers. But that's where the film is best. The entire attack that destroyed Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu took about the time allowed in the movie: 10 minutes. After that the main story for the Americans (and the Japanese) was surviving. The film is largely about that and does a great job of portraying just how vicious the battle was, how difficult it was to survive it, and what kind of guts it took to pull that off. My father was lucky; he did survive. A good proportion of his wing did not. This film is mainly about that. And surviving a battle is the BIG story. The attacks are just the beginning of the process. Dauntless is one of the few films about that and deserves an audience.

I thought it was ok overall, but seemed to be more of a battle summary of Midway along with some of the hardships that the men encountered out at sea for survival

How were they able to conceive such a ridicolous movie? The old one was clear, thrilling and well conceived. In this one you don't understand anything about the situation, dialogues are absurd, acting crancky. You need guts to produce something like this.
