Summary: Outstanding depiction of the Navy
Review: One of the nice things about this movie is the story. Like a lot of people, I think that time travel movies are very fascinating. If you are one of these people, don't miss this movie. But, don't think of this movie as just a science fiction, make-believe movie. Beyond that part of the story, the facts and details of this movie are suprisingly accurate.

One of the most intesting things about this movie is that it not only depicts the US Navy in a positive light, but it also accurately shows how things work on an aircraft carrier (or did at the time the movie came out). For example, you will get to see a glimpse of how they control the launch and retrieval of aircraft, the workings of the Bridge, senior crew quarters, and procedures for handling prisoners, just to name a few. Watching this movie, I felt that if the USS Nimitz did go back in time, the movie accurately dipicts what actions the Captain and crew might really carry out in reaction to such a scenario.

If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Hooray! ... The long awaited release
Review: I was a Supply Officer aboard the USS Nimitz CVN-68 (then based in Norfolk, VA) when this movie was filmed and had the pleasure of meeting most of the Stars. Although the time travel plot is fictitious and the time warp could use some help from George Lucas, the movie is an excellent portrayal of carrier shipboard operations and with an all-star cast. All of the non-speaking crew and even a few that had some brief lines were the actual Navy personnel assigned to the ship. I enjoy this movie every time Turner (TCM, TNT) airs it and wanted to buy a copy but the VHS had been discontinued. After a few years of hopeful waiting, I'm glad the release date is finally approaching. This is a classic that you are sure to enjoy.

Summary: Final Countdown
Review: I have wanted this movie on DVD for a long time, ever since I saw it the first time on cable TV! I have seen the movie several times since on a poor-quality videotape from a cable TV broadcast & I am very excited that it is coming out in DVD format! An excellent film about the USS Nimitz & the thought provoking theory of the possibility of travel through time (ever heard of the US military's classified "Philadelphia Project"?). I cannot recommend this film enough & I can hardly wait for it to arrive! GREAT PICTURE!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's About Time!!!
Review: This Movie has never gotten the accolades that it should have. Far ahead of it's time (both the movie AND the plot) this movie set a precidence for all time traveling movies that followed. I've been waiting for this to be released on DVD so I can share this movie with friends that have never seen OR heard of it (Hard to believe). Please let the quality of the video be half as good as the movie, and I'll be satisfied!

Summary: The Final Countdown
Review: Wow! Thanks Pacific Family for finally taking it nationwide. Don't let the looney tune critics keep you from making this great title available to those of us who appreciate your efforts. Your newest version is outstanding to say the least--Great picture--better than any previous release--5 star quality! I look forward to other titles you may have of the same great quality and value. Thanks again.

Summary: It is available!!!
Review: This film is available on DVD NOW! I know, I purchased 2 copies (1 for me, 1 for my son), unfortunately my copy would not play, but his certainly did. It was a direct transfer from laser disc to DVD and was marvelous. It was put out by UK Films. I am not sure exactly where these folks are located, but I purchased my copies from Movies 2 Sell in Portland, OR. Hopefully, they will order more and I will be able to get one just for me (instead of taking my son's away from him!)

Summary: The Final Countdown
Review: I know that a DVD of this movie has never been made, however I do have a laser and VHS copy. And will cherish it. This story has been inspiring with relation to the past and present colliding and coming together in a fascinating possibility of events. It makes you think "what if" and goes on from there. A really good story for the whole family. It would really be great to see "The Final Countdown" come out on DVD so that others can enjoy it, as I have for many years by watching it over and over again. I think it would be worthwhile to re-print it. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion on this great movie.

Review: je desire savoir si vous l'avez en francais si oui je serais acheteur

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent adventure movie
Review: The story is great, and there is a little bit of suspense; the dogfight between the two Japanese zeroes vintage 1940 and the two modern F14 Tomcats is original and excellent. There is also a happy end for Lorraine.
