March 3, 2007Enjoyable time travel fantasy that dumps a modern day aircraft carrier in the path of the attacking japanese force on the eve of Pearl Harbor. Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen add weight to the cast, and although the idea isn't fully fleshed out, and the direction rather lacklustre ... read more

March 5, 2012fb714907265Despite the presence of some great actors, and a pretty interesting concept, the movie itself just doesn't know what to do with itself. It meanders to the finish line, and rarely steps too far out of line. A bolder script with a much more dramatic ending would have helped. Also, ... read more

December 4, 2011This was a movie with a interesting idea and excellent cast that really just squandered it on...I'm not sure what.

August 15, 2009Good movie with a good plot, which raises the question: If we went back in time, do we have the right to change history for the better?

July 11, 2009Every- now and then there's a movie on paper that you think you should like but don't. All the main actors I truly enjoy. (Kirk Douglas! Martin Sheen! Katherine Ross!)

This f... read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's filled with technology, special effects and action. But it just doesn't make any sense. Full Review

Vincent Canby, New York Times
The special effects are funnier than, I suspect, they were intended to be. Full Review

One of the better time-travel movies. Generates lots of suspense because it's directed and acted with a great deal of conviction. John Scott's musical score is outstanding.

An idea worthy of Harlan Ellison, but disappointingly fumbled. Full Review
