An aircraft carrier, (in an unconvincingly contrived way), goes back in time to the day just before the Pearl Harbour attack and does.... Er very little really?
Other than a few people getting killed, (most of who nobody seems overly bothered about), one man from the future being left behind and a dog getting sent forward in time absolutely nothing of any consequence happens here at all.
Now a film, (or more usefully), a series, where the ship doesn't go home but instead stops the attack and then deals with a crew that has to come to terms with living in a past where their irrevocably rewriting history... now that would be worth watching.
Imagine the issues to deal with...
How would the Roosevelt Government come to terms with this new found asset on their doorstep.
What issues would it's Nuclear Arsenal have on both ending the war and effecting the balance of power afterwards.
What interaction would 1000 navy servicemen with a knowledge of a possible future have on the world their parents/grandparents are growing up in.
Altogether a far more interesting premise than the rather pointless one the film finally opts for.
