I haven't ordered from this company before but when I did, they sent this movie sooner than promised and it was in excellent shape. I would, and did, order from them again.

One of the best sci-fis made. Leaves you thinking at the end, Kirk Douglas is fabulous as always. Time travel is really interesting.

Looks back at what happened at Pearl Harbor through the eyes of a carrier captain and his crew as the result of being pulled through a time warp. The time-machine tunnel effect takes them from their present day position back to 1941 in time to witness the attack. Good historical information.

Only see this movie for the Tomcat footage, not the acting or story. Kirk Douglas, Sheen, Katharine Ross, and Durning have nothing to work with (and all the acting is strained and awkward in this film, making you wonder why they ever took up this project in the first place) and the attitudes and jokes at the end are completely irreverent. Would the captain and crew really be cracking jokes after having to weigh such a huge decision on whether or not to prevent the deaths of thousands at Pearl Harbor and thus changing history? (Which also makes the ending a foregone conclusion.) No exploration of the time warp or black hole or vortex or whatever it was that sucked them back to 1941 is given (limiting the whole sci-fi aspect of this movie), and really most of the movie is spent watching the crew wandering around confused wondering things like "what's going on around here?" Frustrating and slow as molasses, the worst part of it is that the makers of this film had the opportunity to make it about a tribute to our servicemen and women and Pearl Harbor, but instead decided to skip that completely and turn it into something else. Possibly a tribute to the F-14 and the Navy? Maybe, but that still barely makes the film watchable as a whole, and the inexplicable comic attitudes at the end of the film actually work to diminish the history of Pearl Harbor and WWII, which is where the real failure of the movie lies, also because perhaps the makers of this film did not intend for that to happen. If you want to see the amazing F-14 Tomcat in action, USS Nimitz, and Arizona memorial footage, this movie works to showcase that, which is all this movie really has going for it. It is also interesting to note that the DVD commentary by the director of photography yields some very interesting information about their experience with the Navy and what an amazing and life-changing experience it was for them to be on the Nimitz for 8 days of filming.
