    Apple needs to get the 4K version of this move ASAP. The 4K restoration of this film is phenomenal and needs to be available on iTunes. Why no 4k Apple?

    What could be better than time travel and jets. I have watched this several times and I never get tired of it. A great blend of fantasy and history.

    I am a World War 1 & 2 Historian and my life has been dedicated to absorbing all aspects of the history from 1900 - until the day Hitler Escaped Germany and we dropped the bomb on Japan. This movie is a cross between real world histories and the possibilities of time travel. This is one to keep in your library …

    This movie still stands the test of time. While The special effects in this movie may not be up to par with today’s CG-special effects, the visual effects are still great and the storyline is fantastic. It’s hard not to become enthralled by the great storyline and the mind boggling possibility of Time travel.. Enjoy!

  • Excellent
