Review

It would be easy to dismiss the epic Pearl Harbor as a Titanic ripoff (tragedy serves as backdrop to romance) and leave it at that, were it not for the amount of attention heaped upon it by the filmmakers and an anxious public. In restaging the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, director Bay has lavished outstanding state-of-the-art special effects upon a film that is more often than not devoid of human drama. In essence a three-act play, Pearl Harbor begins as if John Hughes had been asked to write a WWII film. Farmboys/best friends Affleck and Hartnett are pilots. They meet nurse Beckinsale in cutesy fashion, and some mundane romance enters the picture. The film's middle section is the extremely well-crafted attack sequence; it's brilliantly executed, though it does resemble Titanic in a couple shots. In the final third, the film finds a compelling rhythm, but unfortunately, it's too little too late. It's a minor distraction that screenwriter Randall Wallace has played fast and loose with historical accuracy (it's okay, it's literary license). But it's a major one that this is the umpteenth war film in which buddies fall for the same girl in a long, drawn-out plot. The superb re-creation of the attack is what the attraction is here, but what it takes to get there! A few nice surprises help, like Voight's FDR, and a tense finale over enemy territory. Ultimately, however, Pearl Harbor, like its many good-looking characters, is spectacular to look at but rather empty inside.
