Technical Inaccuracies Abound

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2001)

It was just too long for it's own good. While most people will not notice, being a Pacific war buff I noticed way too many shots of modern destroyers, Aegis cruisers, and modern carriers made up to look like WW II era ships. They should have lopped off 1 hour of this movie and made more CGI shots of historically accurate ships.
Other than that, again, it was just too long and the relationships are "by the book". And the scenes of the Japanese flag officers are formulaic at best.
Rent "Tora! Tora! Tora!" to see the drama and character development you won't see in "Pearl Harbor".
