the title of the movie might be that of a super cheesy song and with that highly catchy chorus by the band europe in the 80 . forget it because this come first and nor do it submit to cheese or silliness in what could have be a nonsensical premise . gladly it doesn not and however for a fantasy or sci fi film that impressively ambitious and and grand in scope . talk about a cop out for an end . or be it . the novelty of the concept flourish with intelligence and vision and but it felt like something you would find in an episode of the twilight zone . maybe it would have be well suit so . the story begin with a freak storm transport a modern american nuclear power aircraft carrier back to 1941 and just before the japanese fleet bomb pearl harbour . now the question be should they get involve and and fear change the face of history . tough call . too bad the film doesn not really take up that challenge stance with much aplomb and and somewhat take an easy way out . on an ethical note and the question raise be do we really have the right to change what have already happen . the paradox bring up many interesting possibility and and drum up unimaginable suspense . it an anxious waiting game for the decision and and that what it all about . after decide and it suddenly change and leave you hang there with what could have be . the final note to me and make it all the forgettable . the material might not have be wholly satisfying and but technically it mainly come off with dazzling result . what be spectacularly do be the work they manage to get while film on the actual u. s. s nimitz . it feel and and look authentic because it be . they film at sea on the boat and at certain interval . the background feature at time seem to be more interesting and than the actual story . watch the crew go through their manoeuvre be magnetically display . also the aircraft scene be remarkably do and and excitingly high power . the special effect be date and but manage to be atmospherically eerie and moodily colourful . figure head kirk douglas ( in a durably solid turn ) and martin sheen and at a less extent charles dun give the film some stalwart class . also show up in the profound cast be katherine ross and james farentino and ron oneal . john scott heavy hand music score and be hit and miss and but victor j. kemper expansive cinematography be professionally execute . don taylor direction feel automatic and but breezy . this boy own adventure be an enjoyably and attention grab what if predicament .
