Summary: Fool me once...
Review: ...shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. With that said, let me just add I won't be purchasing this new release (Triumph, HAH! Can't fool the public that easily, PFE!) until I know for certain it's of better quality than the last DVD release.

Summary: The Final Countdown
Review: The time travel story is really great. It's worth the price I paid but not the picture quality. I hope the new released DVD is an improved picture quality version of the past one.

Summary: TERRIBLE DVD! Great Movie I REFUSE TO BUY UNTIL REMASTERED!
Review: This is an incredible movie, however, the latest DVD is still TERRIBLE, completely [bad] in audio and video quality. I refuse to purchase a DVD of such low quality. What a shame that nobody makes an investment in doing a hi-definition digital remaster. They have to remaster it for eventual release on HD-DVD, so it makes no sense not to do JUSTICE to this movie. What a shame Pacific Home Entertainment or whoever else is responsible for this [bad] quality DVD!!! TERRIBLE QUALITY when it could be amazing... SHAME ON PACIFIC HOME ENTERTAIMENT FOR NOT DOING A PROPER REMASTER!!!

Summary: A EXCELLENT MOVIE IDEA
Review: I'm going to purchase this DVD later today. I use to own this tittle on laser disc, And thought that the premis and story line were terrific, I"m surprised that a remake with modern day hocus pocus special effects and dolby digital sound haven't enticed the hollywood crowd, Stay tuned for my DVD review....

Summary: Is it or is it not?
Review: I have read the reviews of this DVD with great interest. I had pre-ordered it but canceled the order based on the reviews. I wish Amazon would comment on the Aug 19 release. Does anyone know if this "new" release is the same as the one we have heard such terrible things about? I hope not! I was so looking forward to this movie on DVD.

Summary: The Final Countdown DVD
Review: The Final Countdown has gone down in history as one of those cult-fav sci-fi movies. It was certainly one of my favorites when I was growing up and over time I haven't lost any love for it. After years of, and then some more months, waiting for Pacific Family Entertainment to release, what they call, the DVD, I am utterly furious as to the result. Let me fill all of you in on a little secret.
PFE is releasing it again... only this time, supposedly, the video quality is going to be improved, however it will not be 16x9 enhanced. The sound might be remixed, but lets face it folks... it will probably be the same horrible quality as was before. We might be given the gift of chapter selection, but who knows.
Their last release of The Final Countdown DVD was ranked one of, if not the worst DVDs ever manufactuered by a company. They charged $... a pop and it should have only been worth about $... Now they are re-releasing it again at probably about $... a pop. So beware. One suggestion I am making to those who have already bought the last release... Call them up and demand an exchange! I'm going to! You have every right to do so because PFE promised us a decent product yet never delivered on their promise. Well now it's time for them to pay up. You can find their phone number on their web-site. Just do a search for Pacific Family Entertainment. It'll be there.

Summary: One of the best time travel movies of all time!!!
Review: Final Countdown is my personal favourite Time Travel movie. An excellent cast, engaging story and an aircraft carrier! What more could you ask for? Unfortunately, the DVD released by Pacific Family Entertainment was of such poor quality that it's barely worth watching. Now we have word that a new company is releasing the movie again. Triumph Studios is releasing it on the 19th of August. This sounds promising that a good copy of this movie may finally be available. That remains to be seen. After a bit of digging it turns out that Triumph Studios has actually been hired to market Pacific Family Entertainments entire video catalogue. Neither company has any information on either of their sites as to what will be different about this new release, if anything at all. I am waiting for an answer to this question from Triumph and will post it here when I get it. Until then, cross your fingers that this fantastic movie will finally be available on a high quality transfer to DVD. Then my nearly twenty year search for my own copy will finally be over.

Summary: Great Movie, DVD anything but!
Review: I was so excited to see that this Movie was going to be released. I had not seen the original but read everywhere that it was done horribly. I cannot imagine what the original looks like if this was supposed to be an upgrade. I am so dissappointed with the quality, both video and audio. The audio is out of sync and words never match with lip movement. You also can see throughout the movie lines of resolution moving and some inanimate objects jump around. I don't know if the problem lies with L Marketing or the source tapes weren't that great. I understand that Pacific Family Entertainment owns the right to other films. I'm going to be very hesitant to purchase anything from them in the future. Unless they have a good explanation for why this DVD looks and sounds so poorly.
