The Final Countdown

How's this for a B-movie premise: the U.S.S. Nimitz, a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier gets sucked into a wormhole in the Pacific and gets spit out on December 6, 1941. With this modern marvel and a knowledge of history, they could stop the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Kirk Douglas stars as the carrier captain and Martin Sheen is an inspector from the Department of Defense. At times the movie and the cast is so enjoyable that you almost forget that the film ultimately doesn't go as far with its premise as I might have liked. It was made with the cooperation of the Navy and was filmed on a real carrier lending a touch of authenticity. The ending is a bit unsatisfying, but on the whole, an enjoyably watchable little movie.
