About this movie

An epic blockbuster with astounding visual effects, Pearl Harbor is another unforgettable motion picture from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay, the hit-making team that brought you Armageddon. Featuring Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting, Armageddon), Josh Hartnett (The Faculty) and Kate Beckinsale (Last Days of Disco) in a tremendous all-star cast. As the lives and loves of a generation are tragically swept into the greatest conflict modern man has ever known -- World War II -- the events at Pearl Harbor become a supreme test for the strength of the human spirit. Also starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jerry Maguire, Men Of Honor), Alec Baldwin (Notting Hill), Jon Voight (Enemy Of The State) and Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), this breathtaking story of love, loss and heroism is a must-see event. © 2001 TOUCHSTONE PICTURES

Ratings and reviews

ONLY STEREO SOUND!! Yet another film spoilt by poor provision on sound, this film was released with 5.1 Dolby digital, yet is only available here in stereo, which means I won't be buying it here, other services offer 5.1 so are the better choice. The film is OK, but needs its full original sound track to be seen at maximum effect, lack of 5.1 Dolby digital drops the rating from 3.5 to just 1.

Couldn't help but feel that the bombing of pearl harbour came second place to a love story at times. I would have thought that the event at pearl harbour would be worthy of a movie itself without a supporting story of any kind.

Have the dvd it's in full wide screen(235.1) this is only in 1.185, it's a let down. Updated its still same however another Bruckheimer,touchstone film is the same(enemy of the state).
