20 Worst Movie Moments Of 2019

6. Midway - All The Horrific CGI

This WWII blockbuster depicts the Battle of Midway, which was arguably one of WWII's most significant battles, since it was a real turning point in the Pacific War and a big victory for the US.

In other words, it's a very important historical story. So why the hell was this given to Roland Emmerich and, worse still, filled with CGI that could've been taken from a retro PS1 video-game?!

Unfortunately, Midway is one of the year's biggest duds and it's the latest failure from the inexplicably successful Roland Emmerich, who has yet to ever match the success of Independence Day (and that was more than 20 years ago now). The script is awful and so is some of the acting, but it's the special effects that really sink the movie and it's impossible to take anything seriously since the whole thing looks so fake.

Considering the fact that this movie had a budget of $100 million, this inadequate CGI was pretty outrageous.
