2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Kirk Douglass pilots his 1980’s aircraft carrier through a time-warp straight back to 1941 — just before the Japanese were to attack Pearl Harbor. Ok, the story is kind of cheesy, but the non-stop footage of planes leaving the carrier’s deck and watching the US Navy in action was kind of cool. As with any good time-travel story,contemplating paradox is par for the course. Will the great Captain Douglass do the right thing? Bottom line, watch this if you are a military buff, but you might want to skip it if you are looking for anything deep.

4. Acting

   OK 2.5

   Kirk Douglass does is usual shtick as a dramatic leader. Martin Sheen is more of a side-kick with a cool understated role. Katherine Ross, herself a Navy brat, has a decent short role with James Farrentino and Charles Durning – a WWII veteran himself.

5. Male Stars OK 2.5

6. Female Stars OK 2.5

7. Female Costars OK 2.5

8. Male Costars OK 2.5

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    The sci-fi doesn’t live up to even 1980’s standards, but the military accouterments were fun to watch. Good actors, but not much to work with.
