You're talking about the one released a couple of years back. Personally I watched it, if you want to watch a movie on Midway skip the new one and watch the one made in the 70's. Its excellent from a historical perspective, really well acted, more accurate and more focused on the battles then the new one. And honestly the effects combine practical and archival footage, so it had a more gritty realism to it.
Plus it had Tom Selleck and Eric Estrada in minor blink and you miss them roles.
the old one is usually readily available on streaming and pops up on TV once in a while.
