...the '76 version last nite, a day after I saw the new one.
The CGI in the new 'Midway' was plenty good enough the vast majority of the time, but one distant scene of a B-17 landing at Midway looks as if they spent about $10 on it...but I saw one of those snort-inducing cheapies in the '76 version too.
Plenty-good-enough script, acting, special effects; go see it.
Meanwhile, I'm off this afternoon to see 'Ford v Ferrari' at its Thursday-evening opening at our local IMAX theater*. ... :-)
* This is owned and operated by the Harkins company, the best in our BIG city (and the ONLY movie theater I'll go to), so it ought to be really good.. It'll be my first IMAX in maybe 20 years.
