Hi Chuck. An inspired choice for the Movie Group Build. Who can’t resist time travel with ‘modern hardware’ in WW2?

Personally I think It’d be a better movie if they’d been able to attack the Japanese task force. How would it have changed the future, could have made it worse? and exploring all kinds of time travel paradoxes. This film is a real guilty pleasure of mine; I watched it last on TV with my son a month ago on a rainy Sunday afternoon (he normally doesn’t ‘do’ war stuff other than Call of Duty gaming) and he really enjoyed it.

Thanks For the support - I for one can’t wait to see the F14 and Zero together.

Fly Navy.

Awesome choice Chuck. Recently, my wife agreed to watch this with me (since me, my brothers and buddies would sometimes make reference to it). It was fun to see it again. My wife however, says she'll never understand the y-chromosome. As payment, I had to sit through Joyful Noise with her... which I secretly liked, but won't let her know since it was considered payment in full.

What a blast from the past! Nice choice!. Only, if they did the movie a year or so earlier,
Phantoms could of been the star of the show, oh well..

Hi Chaz, I know the feeling, though I bet she knows anyway. They have that sense that God gave these women. Just when ya think you got them. They just have their ways of knowing more than they let on.

Welcome Adolfo, thanks, you know you may be onto something that seems to be more truthful these days the way technology seems to keep evolving making the latest gizmos on your cell phone obsolete in 6 months. Remember when DVD's were the bomb, now we have blu ray discs and the latest hi def TV's. Time is so fleeting and new things keep cropping up around the world. Soon will be taking a day trip to the moon. If Elon Musk and Richard Branson continue their amazing work on space travel.

Richard, thanks, and funny you should mention that as I was just thinking that and went over certain parts of the movie to see if any F-4's were somewhere on the deck or in the hangar. Yet there is and nice to see an RF-8 Crusader involved in the movie.

Hey Chuck, you could make a diorama based on ‘Joyful Noise’ but I doubt you could find enough plastic...

In terms of what we now know regarding the possibilities of Multiple Universe theory then the whole ‘grandfather paradox’ is null and void, meaning time travel IS on the table. The timeline we go ‘back’ to would generate another, new timeline which is completely independent of the timeline we originally came from. I love time travel stories. You know, if we were talking bucket list builds, I’d scratch build this...

Here you go David, https://masterpiecemodels.com/?s=time+machine&post_type=product
And they have it in different sizes AND a motorized version! 😉

"In terms of what we now know regarding the possibilities of Multiple Universe theory then the whole "grandfather paradox" is nul and void, meaning time travel IS on the table"

You're right!
Believe the theory is called the Multiverse Theory.
There's also the Omniverse Theory (believe this one was coined by activist, international lawyer, founder of the Exopolitics concept and later the Exopolitics Institute, Alfred Lambremont Webre).

Things (everything, even time as we know it) are moving much, much faster now than just a couple of decades ago!

I like to point out that some 25 years ago or so, the mainstream scientific community (Astronomers in this case) categorically denied the possibility of other planets orbiting other stars (but there are Billions of them in our Milky Way Galaxy alone!), implying that our solar system would be the only one around (this, in a Universe where there are many Billions of other galaxies!), having planets, moons, etc.

Well, first with Hubble, now Kepler, and soon the James Webb Space Telescope, all those "scientific certainties" are being totally washed out!
Kepler alone has found more planets orbiting their own stars then the most prolific sci-fi authors could even imagine!
To the point that only in 2-3 decades the theories are now the exact opposite, and the conclusions are that almost certainly every single star we see in the night sky has its own group of planets orbiting it!

That makes the Drake equation much more plausible, and with all the new data the possibilities of intelligent life out there have significantly increased... (that is for the mainstream, the skeptics, the deniers... others know this Universe is teaming with intelligent life, and we are visited every single day, every single night!... after all, if indeed our solar system is around 4 billion years old, and if indeed this Universe is around 14 billion years old... just imagine how many Civilizations out there may have formed in that 10 billion years gap!...)

Cheers!
