Synopsis: Warren Lasky is a civilian consultant whose task is to evaluate the efficiency of the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. But shortly after the Nimitz has left Pearl Harbor on December 6th, 1980, the ship encounters an electromagnetic storm none of them has ever seen before. And when they are clear of the storm there are not where they are supposed to be. It's still December 6th - but 1941, one day before the Japanese Empire started its attack on Pearl Harbor.

My Opinion: What if? I really like the questions this movie asks - whether or not one is allowed to interfere with things that already happened. And I liked the faces of the senator and the japanese pilot when Owens told them what was about to happen. And I have to say: I love aircraft carries, they are beautiful. And I love it to see planes starting from and landing on them and this movie had plenty of such footage.

Cowboys and vampires!

It was a good idea, and their hearts were in it but this is about as amateur as you can get. I'd hardly call this a movie... more like a high school visual arts project, and I've seen better of those. I find it absolutely miraculous that a studio and distribution company, let alone Lionsgate, would actually put their name to this fiasco.

Avoid at all costs.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

The Blue Line

I felt this was a pretty good... if not somewhat average episode. It did indeed seem like the comedy was missing from this episode. Plus I did like how they used a voice-over for Fraser's father when he was reading the diary. That makes much more sense to me then a ghost or him being in Fraser's mind for this series. Though who knows... I may get used to the idea yet.

My Rating:
