Thanks to the latest visual effects, period films and historical reenactments have never looked better. That’s especially true in the first teaser trailer of Midway, released just last week.

The film centers on the Battle of Midway: a clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese that marked a turning point in the Pacific Theater during WWII. The plot flows through the perspectives of the people who were there, leaders and soldiers alike.
