Midway centers on the Battle of Midway, a clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy which marked a pivotal turning point in the Pacific Theater during WWII. The film, based on the real-life events of this heroic feat, tells the story of the leaders and soldiers who used their instincts, fortitude, and bravery to overcome the odds.Directed by Roland Emmerich.







Take home Midway and immerse yourself in history with multiple featurettes, including “We Met at Midway: Two Survivors Remember” and “Joe Rochefort: Breaking the Japanese Code,” which focus on real-life Midway decorated flyers sharing their story of survival and the enigmatic genius Joseph Rochefort, whose team broke the Japanese naval code essential to winning the battle. Experience four times the resolution of full HD with the 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, which includes Dolby Vision, bringing entertainment to life through ultra-vivid picture quality. When compared to a standard picture, Dolby Vision can deliver spectacular colors never before seen on a screen, highlights that are up to 40 times brighter, and blacks that are 10 times darker. Additionally, the 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack features Dolby Atmos, which will transport viewers from an ordinary moment into an extraordinary experience with moving audio that flows all around them. Fans will feel like they’re inside the action as the sounds of people, places, things, and music come alive with breathtaking realism and move throughout the space.



The Midway 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $42.99, $39.99, and $29.95, respectively.

I saw this in theatres. While I wasn't crazy about the characters, the battle sequences were spectacular and probably some of the best I've seen for a WW 2 movie. I'll probably get it for that alone.

Worth a Blind Buy guys? I missed this in theaters. How's it stack up to, say Pearl Harbor?

It seemed like most comments were favorable in the movie thread. More focus on action rather than a lot of side stories. And great dog-fighting sequences.

The action scenes are terrific, particularly on a big screen. It's far less "soapy" than "Pearl Harbor", focusing instead on the events that lead to "Midway". Of course, this approach, -there are battles in the movie that have had whole movies devoted to them, -kind of "short-hands" some of the situations and I know some people who are sticklers for accuracy that have problems with that.
