Good little popcorn movie. Well-acted, sharply done carrier activity scenes, and just a fun premise. 7/10.

[Shadowstrike]

A damn good movie. 9/10

We should have nuked the Japs back then (in the movie). That would be a more satisfying ending. Would have saved my father-in-law a long and bloody trek across the Pacific to Iwo and Okinawa in real life.

Oh I remember this one. Nice..

[Vermont Lt]

This is one of my guilty pleasure movies.

saw it a few years ago....very good movie...no over dramatization...good acting....

I want to recommend two modern movies....Interstellar was excellent and so was the Imitation Game ( some reference to homosexuality but not overwhelming)

I spoke to one of the guys flying the Zeros (PT19s) in the scene where the jet flies between two of Zeros.

There were 6 or so based out of Clover Field south of Houston TX in the late 70’s early 80’s.

He said they were warned that there would be quite a vortex coming off of the ends of the wings.

He said there was what seemed like an eternity when he was just a passenger waiting to regain control.

Cheesy, but creative.

[BenLurkin]

A wonderful movie! I highly recommend.

One of my favorite Navy films. and that was made back in the days when sailors were allowed to grow beards.

[publius911]

This is one of my 5 all time favorite movies.
I have pedestrian taste, unapologetically so, so don’t bother.

[drbuzzard]

I can even remember seeing this one in the theater way back when. A fun movie.

[ExpatGator]

I watched it during Navy Recruit Training, probably in December, definitely 1980. Needless to say it was a friendly audience and the film was well received.

Please add me to your ping list for movies. Thanks! Spunky

This was the very first movie I rented on VHS. With the way it bridges the two genres of WWII war films and sci-fi, I can’t help but like it.

[laplata]

Good movie and worth another watch. Thanks!

Horrible ending. How could you not show the battle???

What a cop out!

Give the people what they want. The sequels would have been awesome as the carrier moves on to Germany.

Here is a question: Could one carrier win the war by itself if it did not have nukes? F-15’s are great but where do you get the replacement ammo and fuel in 1941? Would have been a great TV series as the US struggles to create ammo and jet fuel that would work.
