This is another sci-fi time travel movie I enjoyed. It may not be suited to every audience. The movie aged a bit but the HG Wells book stands the test of time. This version of the HG Wells classic will have its advocates and naysayers.

What if you had the power to change history? That is the situation facing the crew of state-of-the-art battleship,
the U.S.S Nimitz when they are hurled back to December 6, 1941.
