It's rare that I go to the theatre to see movies, but I went tonight and saw Midway.  I loved it and thought it was very well done.  IMHO, it's the best war movie in quite some time.

Nice!

I thought it would be one to see on the big screen...

Probably would be even better on an IMAX type screen

No doubt.  Although I've never been to an IMAX theatre.  :(

Watched Happy Death Day 1 & 2 - Ground Hog Day with more violent wakenings.  ;D  I thought they were good for what they were.

I did watch all of Dunkirk, however thought it was merely "ok".  Midway was amazing from start to finish, with a number of scenes keeping you on the edge of your seat.  Looking forward to purchasing a copy of it when it comes out and watching it on my HT.

Apparently, Shining 2 is getting good reviews...at least the ones I've read.

Can't remember the last time we went to a movie at the theatre.

Meh.....

I've watched a couple good documentaries about it...not sure if the movie will add anything.

Perhaps I'll wait for video.

You going?

Didn't finish watching?  Seriously?  It's a Chris Nolan film.  The end is where everything gets tied together.  Remember Memento?  Nothing makes sense until the end, and then you're like, Oh, :censor:!!!!

Nope. Worried Hollywood will screw it up for those just because we wanted a better story reasons. I can easily wait until home release. Will read some reviews to see what people think.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, Roger.  Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did.  I actually might got back and see it again.

Pretty horrible reviews on Midway. ???

I thought this one was funny:

“Every tired war movie cliche is unearthed in a film that brings nothing new but will no doubt please fans of men in uniform yelling at explosions.“  :rofl2:
