The movie gets the facts correct and has an excellent cast. The problem with the movie is the archival footage use. The archival footage is obviously not having good quality while the scenes filmed by the film crew have excellent quality. The movie used scenes from many other movies, but in the end, the film is good. However, there were some incorrect things that really hurt it. For example, during the Japanese torpedo attacks on Yorktown, a fighter plane and then the squadron leader are seen crash diving on the ship. The group leader, Tomonaga's plane was damaged over Midway and could not be repaired. He knew that he would die and was shot down by US fighters.
