"Midway"

This is one of four films released theatrically in "Sensuround", a process where the theaters' sound systems were augmented by huge subwoofers which amplify bass events (the others were "Earthquake", "Roller Coaster", and the theatrical release of "Battlestar Gallactica"). Though "Midway" uses film clips from "Tora! Tora! Tora!", "Away All Boats", and "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" it is nowhere near as good as those earlier fims. There is a typically seventies sub plot about naval officer Charlton Heston's son being involved with a Japanese American girl. The film tries to identify so many real life participants that it becomes tedious and confusing. Present are the usual array of "A" and "B" stars playing real life people. Overall a boring effort.
