The time travel storm is the same special effect as seen in The Lathe of Heaven (1980) (TV) during the climatic dream sequence confrontation.

Errores:

Continuidad: When the F-14's first find the Zeroes, there's a shot of the Zeroes from overhead showing them flying over debris in the middle of the ocean, presumably from the yacht, even though it hasn't been destroyed yet.

Citas:

F-14 Pilot: [voice over radio] Pearl Tower, Tomcat two-zero-zero. requesting clearance for departure runway zero-nine. Over.
Pearl Harbor Tower: [voice over radio] Two-zero-zero, Pearl Harbor Tower. You are cleared runway oh-niner. Winds zero-four-five at eight. SH-three approaching from the right. Have a nice day.

Well Done!

A man takes a strange trip with an aircraft carrier and lives an amazing nightmare with a bizarre twist. Time travel, moral sensibilities and harmful consequences are explored when the crew is confronted with a chance to change history. Trying to control the political impact of altering history, the captain makes a painful decision that ultimately leads to a happy ending. This one has sadness, irony and moments where ones wants to say, "how stupid can they get?" Overall, just a great Sci-Fi Thriller that will leave an impression.
