“One pet peeve, when the “time warp storm” approaches the Captain (Douglas) sends his Destroyer Escorts away, I don’t see any carrier commander getting rid of escorts when facing an unknown situation.”
My pet peeve was the hokey language. “Hmmm Contact, clean the windshields and check the oil” I don’t think this would be the language when they were in Defcon 5 stage
As I said I would like to see a really going high dollar remake in True Grit style.

I’d agree with an above commenter that it be interesting to see if the script actually allowed the Nimitz to change history. Make it different.
But like I said, there’s a time-travel fiction tradition where you let time travel happen, but the present doesn’t change at all or just a little. There was a Twilight Zone episode where a guy used a time machine to try to stop John Wilkes Booth, and two other scenarios where he thought he could “improve” history. But no matter how hard he tried, some circunstances always contrived to stop him.
My wife and I have been watching the last 4 seasons of “Outlander”, and it explores some of the same ideas. The more you try to ‘help’ history by changing things, the more it contrives to thwart you and make sure you can’t fundamentally do it. Anyway, it’s all very interesting.
