This years summer hit may well be "Pearl Harbour". It stars Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale along with Cuba Gooding Jr. I have seen the trailer and it promises to be a good film.
It is based on the infamous bombing of the US naval base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii in 1941 by the Japanese. Over two thousand were killed in the surprise attack that moved the Americans into the second world war.
Obviously, the film will have a love story interwoven into it, but, I suspect the real star of the film will be the battle scenes. From what I saw on the trailer, they looked very authentic and realistic. They reminded me of the scenes in Private Ryan, almost documentary style.
The soundtrack is very moving and adds to the sense of disaster as hundreds of Japanese bombers sneak upon the beautiful Hawaii, wreaking destruction and death on it's American ships and servicemen and women.
