Pearl Harbour
Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale share a romance against the backdrop of the Pearl Harbour bombing in this big-budget Michael Bay blockbuster.
The lifelong friendship between Rafe McCawley (Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett) is put to the ultimate test when the two ace fighter pilots become entangled in a love triangle with Naval nurse Evelyn Johnson (Beckinsale). But the rivalry between the friends-turned-foes is immediately put on hold when they find themselves at the centre of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

Reviews & comments
Vulture
pressThe woe and horror of the event is steamrolled by a surplus of special and digitised effects.
The New York Times
pressNearly every line of the script drops from the actors' mouths with the leaden clank of exposition, timed with bad sitcom beats.
Rolling Stone
pressFrom its opening calendar-art sunrise to the There You'll Be love theme that Faith Hill sings over the final credits, Pearl Harbour is deep-down phony.
Roger Ebert
pressAn unremarkable action movie; Pearl Harbour supplies the subject, but not the inspiration.
Los Angeles Times
pressBay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the entire cast and crew have given us a Pearl Harbour to remember.
