the movie be base on the idea of time travel . there be lot of such movie and novel and but this one be somewhat different . there be uss nimitz and nuclear carrier and equip in jet and reconnaissance plane and marine and and so on and everything that be need in modern warfare . somehow nimitz be take back to 1941 and just before pearl harbour battle . now it be a super weapon that can change history and alone destroy all the japanese fleet . one interesting question be if it be possible to change history . the crew be soldier and want to participate the battle . in movie such back to the future character be able to change history and in more real and like twelve monkey they be create it . be nimitz able to win the battle that be lose . what would happen to people who live then . with some senator and who be go to win presidential election and but be miss after the battle . will he survive it and lead his nation after the war . the main question be not will nimitz finally go back to it time but will nimitz join the battle . one do not think about future but about soldier duty . the movie consist nice photo shot . the carrier itself and it plane and dogfight between japanese motor plane and modern f14 . even if it be not even a candidate for the oscar and i think it be always a good sf and war movie .
