I thought it was a pretty good movie Ben Affleck did a pretty good job as Jack Ryan an that other guy did a good job as John Clark, but they made him 20 years younger than he is in the books. So what if they changed the plot a bit it was still a good movie.

Haven't seen it. However, if I recall from a few critical accounts, the book depicted the terrorists as originating from the Middle-East. So now we have - correct me if I misunderstood - neo-nazis as the ultimate threat? Really? Why take artistic license w/ [i]that[/i] point?
But, once again, I digress.

i really dont think the aircraft carrier would have been taken like it was by the russian aircraft. After a nuke anywhere the carrier would be on highest alert with planes deployed probbly and i think the planes would have been seen by radar farther away aswell as the defence machine guns would have done a better job. besides that it was ok. and if your close enough to have your chopper blown down and your cars roll over in a nuke blast, then your to close to live anyway.. the radiation will get you.
