Review: The movie that made me love aircraft and a/c carriers ! Far from "sign in" brochurelike Top Gun, The Final Countdown is on of the most realistic aviation films despite a few technical inadequacies. The Si-Fi side leaves space for that and the whole result is more than attracting for aviation buffs.
A gap filled at last.

Summary: The Final Countdown
Review: I am glad another company is releasing this DVD. I have a copy
from Pacific Family Entertainment and I cannot play it at all
because it is only in 1 track and it keeps jumping to the end
of the movie. I tried to exchange it for another copy but they
sent me back the same DVD with a rude letter from the head of the
company.
I am sure Mr. Glenn Allen had the same problem.

Summary: Best movie ever
Review: What a prelude to Top Gun! I remember seeing this movie in a drive in theater on a family vacation in Cape Cod as a child and it's affected me to this day. It inspired my love of military jet planes that hasn't died 20 some odd years later. An appetite for which that was only whetted by Top Gun in the 80's! (Another top 10 fave movie of mine) The entire premise of what a modern day nuclear vessel could have done back in the 40's to change the course of the future built by WWII, is inspired science fiction!

Summary: Modern Classic Science Fiction Film
Review: "The Final Countdown" is one of those films that never got the recognition that it so rightfully deserves.Blending history, military, moral dilema & science fiction together nearly perfectly, "Final Countdown" is a very powerful and thought-provoking film about a chance to change the course of history. The modern-day nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz
(an Atlantic Fleet-based aircraft carrier)stationed at Pearl Harbor goes through a mysterious electrical storm in the Pacific Ocean, the crew (Kirk Douglas, Captain; James Farentino, Airwing Commander; Ron O'Neal, XO) & a cilvilian advisor (Martin Sheen)
soon realize through a series of events that they have gone back in time to December 6, 1941, the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor! After rescuing survivors of a yacht blown up by Japanese Zeros, the crew of the Nimitz is faced with a decision that would change the course of history...whether they should destroy the Japanese Fleet BEFORE they attack Pearl Harbor. For those of you who've seen the movie, you know the ending. For those who've never seen "Final Countdown", I won't ruin what is a great ending! I've been waiting for years for "Final Countdown" to come out on DVD. Hopefully it will be loaded with extra features never found on the rare VHS version from Vestron. The footage aboard the USS Nimitz is fantastic. No movie since has shown in such detail the action aboard a modern-day carrier.
The flightdeck scenes are breath-taking. You'll see aircraft markings on the F-14s & other aircraft that look absolutely awesome! This is a movie you will want to watch over & over again.

Summary: Time travel thriller.
Review: In short, a modern aircraft carrier somehow finds itself in the Pacific just before the attack of Pearl Harbor. One officer aboard the carrier is a history buff who is an expert on the event. What will they do? Allow history to unfold as they know it, or act to prevent a disaster? A solidly entertaining movie that deals with time travel as a moral dilemma but never runs short on action. It has a fine cast and some unique plot twists. I recommend it highly.

Summary: A must for science fiction fans.
Review: If you like science fiction, pondering the possibilities of Einstiens Unified Field Theory, and wondering about historical outcome due to time travel,then you have to have this DVD. I first watched this movie in 1980 when it came out and never miss an opportunity to watch it. Kirk Douglas, Charles Durning, Martin Sheen, and Kathern Ross' performances were top notch. One of my all time favorite movies.

Summary: Great SF Movie
Review: I really enjoy watching this movie. Imagine - December 6, 1941 off the coast of Hawaii. Suddenly, there appears a modern aircraft carrier - loaded with Tomcats, etc. What would happen to the Japanese air attack? Great movie - great action!

Summary: A Countdown worth waiting for
Review: Growing up, this was one of my all time favorites. It was always so much fun to play that element of how long would have WWII lasted if we had present day technology. This is kinda back to the future meets pearl harbour. Highly recommend and I can not believe that it was released in 1980...
