Midway film review: Roland Emmerich war drama is strangely pedestrian – if only John Ford were still alive to direct it

• The Day After Tomorrow director has a cast featuring Dennis Quaid, Woody Harrelson, the Jonas Brothers’ Nick Jonas, and Ed Skrein, yet film lacks emotional pull
• The story of the World War II Battle of Midway, its focus is on the Americans rather than the Japanese, with the CGI-heavy action scenes impressive
