Director Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK) uses a tragic romantic triangle to set the stage for the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this epic tale of love, loss, and...
more...patriotism. When Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a beautiful Navy nurse, meets dashing ace Army fighter pilot Rafe (Ben Affleck), the two fall madly in love, only to be separated abruptly when he is called upon to help fight the war in Europe. Unforeseen circumstances lead Evelyn into the arms of Danny (Josh Hartnett), another fighter pilot and Rafe's best friend since childhood. In the meantime, the Japanese military is planning the surprise early morning raid on Hawaii that will pull the United States into World War II. Spectacular special effects vividly recreate the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core. Bay deftly captures the patriotism and the loss of innocence of the young men and women who were suddenly thrust into the war. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin and Mako also star in this tribute to both the fallen and the survivors of one of the most horrific tragedies ever to occur on American soil.

Seems to be plenty of opinions on this latest blockbuster. Mine is short and sweet, because my words would not do thsi film justice.

Goto your local cinema and sit in front of that BIG screen and lose yourself in one of the best movies I have seen this year. This film deserves to be seen on the big screen in all it's glory.

And whilst your sat there watching thousands of men and women being killed in the space of hours, no matter how hard and painful you think it really was, it was probably worse back there in 1941.

I have not seen so many people engrossed in a film for a long time.

The film will have the hairs stood on the back of your neck.

Believe the hype....you will love it.
