An entertaining film, historically inaccurate

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2001)

I walked into this movie with an open mind knowing full well the type of film this producer creates. I was not expecting a history lesson by any means. I go to the movies for one thing, entertainment. I must say I was entertained. I brought my dad who is a retired WWII p51 fighter pilot. He too also enjoyed himself. The acting was in my opinion, sub-par, save for Kate and John Voight who depicted FDR to the highest possible standard. The storyline was good enough to keep me in my seat for 3+ hours. Of course as billed, the CGI effects were incredible, allbeit somewhat lengthy. I would recommend this film for entertainment purposes. If I want to be educated on precise details of 7 December 1941, I'll watch tora,tora,tora, or the history channel.
