Trivia
At the time of filming, The Nimitz's air wing was CVW-8 and the tail code was AJ. All Atlantic air wing tail codes begin with an "A" while all Pacific air wing codes begin with an "N". In WWII the air group codes were geometric designs on the vertical stabilizer and the wing. See more »Goofs
Cmdr. Owen jumps from the chopper and rescues Charley the dog. Seconds later, as he and Charley are winched back up to the chopper, both are almost totally dry, even though they've only been out of the water for less than a minute. See more »Quotes

This movie deals with time-travel on a large scale... And like most sci-fi films, it is easy to pick their theories apart (especially after almost 25 years). I think that many of us have a tendency to over-analyze these types of movies, when, in fact, we should just sit back and enjoy the experience.
I first saw this movie at a drive-in (remember those?!?!), and during one scene in particular, the entire crowd actually cheered. This is not a reaction I'd expect from a large crowd during a "bad" movie. If you like sci-fi, aircraft, and time-travel movies, then ignore the nay-sayers and watch this movie! It's one of my all-time favorites.
