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

- Umm, What am I missing? I didn't like this movie!First off, I love Sci-Fi, Time Travel, What-If, Alternate-History etc., movies, but I was bored off of my sofa with this snooze-fest. I was looking forward to watching this movie because I've read so much about it, and somehow never heard of it. I actually heard the 80's song by "Europe" of the same title... the one that goes through my mind every time I say the name of this movie, but never heard of this film until a few months back.
So, if someone can clue me in, as to what exactly ... Read More

- Sci-Fi Classic Starring the U.S.S. NimitzThe Final Countdown makes for nearly 2 hours of great entertainment for people of all ages.
It can be seen by young children, as the violence is not nearly as bad as what is seen in films today. The foul langauge is minimal.
It is also THE BEST FILM for showing life and aircraft operations aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
The cast (stars Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Charles Durning and James Farentino) are excellent, and play well off of each other. ... Read More

- Good copy of this movieI liked this movie when I first viewed it in the theater. This is a good copy. Some reviews of earlier versions document a bad version.
For a time travel fiction story this is one of my favorites. Decent story line and it keeps up your interest.

- The final countdownI received this verrrrry fast...the movie is exactly as I remembered..Although I was not aware it was a LucasFilm/Spielberg Production. I guess that's why it is very good!
