I'd been looking for this movie for a long time in dvd format. The disk arrived as expected, and was without flaw. A good movie.Movie Review: A flight into Fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read the novel first, I was anxious to see the movie and must say that the film remains true to its paper predecessor.
In brief, the story is of a modern American carrier, the Nimitz, travelling back in time through a freak storm to the day before Pearl Harbor. The crew and its civilian guest, Warren Lasky, attempt to unravel the mystery while preparing to defend the strategic port from the impending Japanese attack.
There is not much not to like about the film (given that one likes this type of story), but the highlight to me was the excellent photography of carrier air operations in action. There are some outstanding aerial sequences captured on film.
The tale flows very nicely and is tightly wrapped up in the final scenes when the Nimitz returns to port in modern day Pearl Harbor. I won't spoil the ending as that really makes the film credible. Let's just say it is well thought out and expertly delivered.
Rent it or buy it. I don't think you'll be sorry you did.
*** Highly Recommended ***

This is a wonderful Science Fiction movie. Just enough "outta this world" to be believable. Along with a star studded cast, it makes it a Classic, not to be missed. Movie Review: Fantastic Movie

Summary: 5 Stars
Really enjoyed the film when it first came out and seeing it offered on DVD, I had to have it. The classic quagmire of having the ability to change history but knowing if you do so, you may elminate your own possibility for existence. Pretty cool stuff.
