For what it's worth, this is a great movie. Special effects at the time werent exactly Transformers quality nor was the director a Micheal Bay....but if you can look beyond the rotoscoped hand illumination and the cut layout in the worm hole scenes, make popcorn and grab a soda, your in for a treat.
Story is good as well as the acting although none of the actors are mainstream (or still around). Based on "actual events", the Philadelphia Experiment takes you through the events that happened while the battle ship was "invisible" on that fateful day in 1943.
The project was designed to cloak objects and make them undetectable to radar but intead, opened a wormhole to the future knocking off the main characters in the process, sending them to 80's.
The only thing I would have like to see to improve the movie, other than having it set anytime but the horrible 80's, is to make it closer to the story of what "actually happened". Although the government will not and probably never will admit to the experiment, the story and couriosity stands true. The thought of time travel or opening a wormhole is fascinating to all of us dorks and geeks out there, whether its true or absolute make believe.
Either way, its just a movie. Don't go in expecting it to change your life or anything but don't miss out on a great movie none the less.
P.S. If you catch the right ones, REDBOX has this movie for a dollar! You can't beat that!

The Philadelphia Experiment
Added 4/10/2009
A little disappointing when compared with my memory of first seeing it on its original release, but this is only because the special effects and concept are now somewhat dated. However, it was still good to see Michael Pare oozing wartime sex appeal in a modern day society, one of the attractions of the plot. The warship-trapped-in-time concept was less thrilling than the original, but has stood the test of time for younger viewers without the sophisticated taste of higher tech expectations. A good watch for say a 10 year old but not that intriguing for adults. Worth a look though, for old times sake, after giving it to your nephew for christmas.

The Philadelphia Experiment More Plausible A Premise Than You Think
Added 2/28/2009
Not much has ever been noted about research done by New Zealand native and former pilot Bruce Cathie that strongly substantiated the feasibility of what was referred to as both 'Project Invisibility' and, later, 'The Phoenix Project/Project Rainbow'. Cathie, in his eye-opening book Harmonic 695, demonstrated that Einstein had actually COMPLETED his Unified Field Theory and that there was an unmistakable mathematical factor in successful atomic tests also correlating with UFO sightings - so much so that his life has treaded a very, very fine line that neither fellow UFO researcher Dr. Morris K. Jessup (appeared to have committed suicide, but the evidence points to murder) and likely even Nikola Tesla, whose death was in fact under equally mysterious circumstances (it's said by some involved with the project that he was killed for having knowledge of Einstein's reticence concerning application of the UFT and, recognizing just how dangerous the experiment truly was, sabotaged the earliest trials) apparently could walk.
In David Hatcher Childress' equally eye-opening book, Anti-Gravity and the Earth Grid, Cathie reviews legendary researcher Ivan T. Sanderson's 'Vile Vortices' as well as geodesic mapping by Buckminster Fuller and the Russians, going on to mathematically prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a corresponding grid line running exactly between Philadelphia and the Norfolk/Newport News area which would have directly facilitated the event; by virtue of Tesla's groundbreaking work with interference fields and variable pulsed electrical current, the Eldridge and its crew could indeed have been teleported from Philly to Norfolk and back again as purported. As a last note, I can tell you that my own belief this experiment actually occurred was greatly reinforced by a chance conversation with a fellow co-worker some years ago whose father had worked closely with quantum physicist (his wave and matrix mechanics tenets directly related to Tesla's postulations) and master mathematician John Von Neumann (upon whom the movie's Longstreet character is more or less based). He told her of Von Neumann's extensive work on the Philadelphia Experiment.....
