Negative Positive
Title: Boring melodrama with occasional special effects
Review: As soon as the film opened with Soap Opera style melo-drama (which is never addressed in the remainder of the film) I knew this was going to be a tough one. The action sequences were brilliantly done, the story completely predictable and contrived. All of this could also be said about Titanic. However Titanic works because it embaces its sappy melo-dramatic nature. Pearl Harbor doesn't work.
