A story of love, friendship and honor.

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2001)

I felt that the photography was very impressing, the color throughout and special effects especially when the attacking squadron flew between the our warships docked at Pearl Harbour.
The story was very predictable, but I can handle a sappy romance as long as they are not too frequent.
The acting was superb. Alec performed a great Jimmy Doolittle with his raspy dictatorial voice, although, I had the distinct honor of meeting Gen. Doolittle who was brought to my desk for introduction in the 80's and his voice was not such, lol.
I felt that the movie brought out a personal side to this historical event; the surprise, helplessness and devastation; not just in the attack but with the three main characters' lives.
I cried through the whole movie, so ladies, take your kleenex. The movie was so well made that every sad moment was followed by a comical moment. So, you are not left in the doldrums.
There were about 1,000 attendees at the special advance viewing and at the end of the movie, we all clapped. This movie/story left you with a good feeling at the end.
