Product Description

History comes alive in the unforgettable epic motion picture PEARL HARBOR, the spectacular blockbuster brought to the screen by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Astounding visual and audio effects put you at the center of the event that changed the world -- that early Sunday morning in paradise when warplanes screamed across the peaceful skies of Pearl Harbor and jolted America into World War II. This real-life tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, and personal courage focuses on the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots, Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) and Josh Hartnet (BLACK HAWK DOWN), and a beautiful, dedicated nurse, Kate Beckinsale (SERENDIPITY). PEARL HARBOR is extraordinary moviemaking -- a breathtaking reenactment of the "date which will live in infamy" and a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who lived it.

What a waste
The cinematography was beautiful and the sets were beautiful, catching the time period perfectly. What a pity that they had to be wasted on this pitiful excuse of a movie!

Much like "Titanic" which preceded it (for which the above paragraph could apply in its entirety), "Pearl Harbor", rather than being a great movie about a historic tragic event, offended the viewer by using the event merely as a backdrop for a "chick flick" plot...and a very POOR one at that.

I truly looked forward to this movie, believing the writers and producers would show this event the respect it deserved. So sad that the remaining WWII vets get THIS as a "tribute". What an insult! One can only envision the next step being a romance story called "9-11: The Twin Towers".

Terrible movie!!
Terrible movie and an insult to the actual event!! Nuff' said!!

Go America!!!!

SNORA! SNORA! SNORA!
What a disappointing movie! I was so looking foward to what I thought would be the exciting blockbuster of 2001. Instead I found Pearl Harbor to be boring, cheezy and very predictable. First of all it takes FOREVER for any sort of action to get started. My husband and I were sitting in the theater just waiting for the Japanese to start bombing Pearl Harbor, almost looking foward to it, so we could see something interesting happen on the screen. The romance between the two leads is Laugh out Loud ridiculous. The dialogue seems to be written by a 14 year old. I was actually reciting out loud what the characters would say next, it was that predictable. The story didnt let the audience become at all attached to the characters. The only reason I give it 2 stars was the great special effects. Dont waste your time on this dumbed down version of history. If you want to watch a great movie depicting history see 13 Days or Tora Tora Tora. Movies like that actually treat the audience like they have a brain.
