The Final Countdown

Awesome movie that didn't make any sense at all with plenty of plot holes -- isn't that what the 80's were all about? =P

Incredible sci-fi movie from the 80s. Has better F14 shots than Top Gun. The Blu-ray is great, the making of is excellent and includes many of the F14 pilots.

Great Scott!! A time travel movie.

What a great flick. The main cast was the only reason I bothered to click but it turned out really good. Wish more movies like this were made today.

This is a great idea for a story. An aircraft carrier from the 1980s runs into a strange storm that sends the ship and crew back in time to Dec. 6th 1941 one day before the Japanese fleet attacks Pearl Harbor. Kirk Douglas captains the USS Nimitz along with a crack lead airman played by James Farentino and a last second civilian addition Martin Sheen. For such an exciting concept the action is pretty limited but the build up to the potential clash with the Japanese attackers is well done. This movie also contained some outstanding military footage. Unfortunately when the final conflict is about to occur the movie's ending resorts to showing us the easiest possible resolution. Bummer.

If you like time travel movies, its worth a glance but be prepared for a very weak pay-off at the end.

I liked it until I realised that the primary premise of the film would not occur. I am consequently unable to recommend it, because nothing substantial actually occurred.

A good movie with an interesting story full of potential. I was able to grasp part of its idea, but I missed a deeper reflection on the possible consequences of the actions, as everything seemed to happen by chance.

well in 2022, this movie doesn't age well, sadly. I remember it in 1980 as enjoyable. today, not so much. Mainly just seeing Nimitz footage in a movie that does nothing
