With a tantalizing "what-if?" scenario and a respectable cast of Hollywood veterans, The Final Countdown plays like a grand-scale episode of The Twilight Zone. It's really no more than that, and time-travel movies have grown far more sophisticated since this popular 1980 release, but there's still some life remaining in the movie's basic premise: What if a modern-era Navy aircraft carrier--in this case the real-life nuclear-powered U.S.S. Nimitz--was caught in an anomalous storm and thrust 40 years backwards in time to the eve of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor? Will the ship's commander (Kirk Douglas) interfere with history? Will the visiting systems analyst (Martin Sheen) convince him not to? Will a rescued senator from 1941 (Charles Durning) play an unexpected role in the future of American politics? Veteran TV director Don Taylor doesn't do much with the ideas posed by this potentially intriguing plot; he seems more interested in satisfying aviation buffs with loving footage of F-14 "Jolly Roger" fighter jets, made possible by the Navy's generous cooperation. That makes The Final Countdown a better Navy film than a full-fledged time-travel fantasy, but there's a nice little twist at the end, and the plot holes are easy to ignore. James Cameron would've done it better, but this popcorn thriller makes an enjoyable double-bill with The Philadelphia Experiment. --Jeff Shannon

this is one of the best time travel movies i have seen.it's vaguely
similar to the Philadelphia Experiment but on a much larger scale.i
also think it's a much better movie.for one thing,there's way more
tension and suspense and you really can sense the fear and desperation
of the ship's crew.this one will have you on the edge of your seat.the
acting here is very strong all around.there's no weak link in the
bunch.there no slow spots either.the movie flows at a ... Read More

I am an amateur historian and my dad was a career NCO in the US Air Force. He took me to see this movie right after it opened and I loved it. It passed out of my consious mind until I asked my husband, a pilot and history buff, if he'd ever seen it. I laid the plot out for him because, and I'm embarassed to say I couldn't remember the title, and he was sure he had not seen it. I called my sister, and thank God, she remembered "Final Countdown". I was glad to find it here and ordered a copy. An engrossing ... Read More

I haven't ordered from this company before but when I did, they sent this movie sooner than promised and it was in excellent shape. I would, and did, order from them again.

One of the best sci-fis made. Leaves you thinking at the end, Kirk Douglas is fabulous as always. Time travel is really interesting.
