"Today we prove the American Navy isn't a joke!" Lionsgate has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Roland Emmerich's latest action movie, titled Midway, about the iconic Battle of Midway during World War II - known as "The Battle That Turned The War". The battle took place across three days in June of 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States Navy defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare". This ensemble action movie stars Woody Harrelson, Jake Weber, Luke Evans, Mandy Moore, Patrick Wilson, Brennan Brown, Ed Skrein, Aaron Eckhart, Alexander Ludwig, Nick Jonas, Tadanobu Asano, Dennis Quaid, Darren Criss, and Keean Johnson. This is an Emmerich movie, so it will have big action but as for the script, not sure it seems that promising. That said, this still looks intense and epic.
Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Roland Emmerich's Midway, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube:
The story of the Battle of Midway, told by the leaders and the sailors who fought it.

First impression? How does that look so far?
