Summary: Adm. Nimitz would have been proud!
Review: This movie is a well written and acted story about what it would have been like to have a modern day nuclear aircraft carrier (USS Nimitz) and the aircraft available back in 1941 prior to Pearl Harbor. The story line is great, the action is incredible (for those of you who are aircraft afficinados, there is a nice scene with 2 F-14's against some old Mitsubishi Zero's), and the ending really leaves you questioning "What if......?".

Summary: "Great Flick!"
Review: I'll make it short: Fascinating handling of sci-fi plot; super depictions of carrier operations; excellent direction; well-treated love interest; superb casting. A lot of fun to watch, and the ending sorta gets you right there (i.e., lump-in-the-throat).

Summary: The Finale Countdown
Review: Being a Navy brat most of my life, I had a chance to see this ship with my own eyes. Very impressive. It was sitting in the habor at Gitmo Cuba, when we were stationed there. My father, who is retired now, absoultly loves this movie. When we were kids we ended up watching most movies dealing with the Navy. This one was very good. I have this movie on vhs, but want to give my dad one on dvd. My three children even enjoyed this movie it helps some what with them understanding about PearlHabor. Please release this soon Thank you!

Summary: The ultimate Navy inducement
Review: After seeing it several times I still get goosebumps from the naval-operation scenes. The final wing launch is just awesome ( music, the arming of the planes and the launch ) ...

Summary: I have the Final Countdown on DVD (region1)
Review: It has no special features and the picture quality is not the best. I also own the Sountrack on CD and it is great.

Summary: what more do you need...
Review: going back in time, heavy duty Armed Forces (The REAL thing)and
going against the "prime directive;the changing the past rule one" even though this isn't Star Trek.
Sheen, Douglas and Kaufman at their best!
One of MY favorite sci-fi movies!!

Summary: Simply the best
Review: The best dogfight scenes in any movie ever! Top Gun didn't even come close to the realism of The Final Countdown's Japanese M6A4 Type 21 Reisen (Zero for you non-Japanese speakers) and the U.S. Navy Tomcats!

Summary: Region 1 DVD already available,but....
Review: I agree with the previous review, it "is" a dupe from ANOTHER REGION DVD (PAL to NTSC),because I own the region 2 DVD. They even didn't bother to change the box cover except the publisher change from "Hollywood" to"PFE" -the Pacific family Entertainment. This Region 1 DVD runs 98 mins as the PAL version,Not the 120+ mins director's cut we have been expecting . wait for a Better edition to come,fans.

Summary: What are the distributors waiting for....
Review: What are the distributors waiting for? This is rated as a classic and needs to be out on DVD. I watch it whenever I see it on TV but want the DVD.
