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.

I have a hard time watching older films. Technology and how they shoot films is so much better these days, even how they tell the stories and develop the characters has improved.
I'm not saying I won't watch it, but with so much time to watch movies and a list a mile long and growing, I may get to it, I may not.
I have heard good things about the original Midway though.
