The Final Countdown

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 8, 2006

Pros: One of the best fantasy military moves ever made

Cons: none

The Movie A time travel movie about the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz getting caught in a storm and sent back to December 6th 1941. With the chance to stop the attack on pearl harbor. with Kirk Douglas and martin sheen u know it must have some quali...ty they alone make it and interesting mix of talent The Video The video is better than any othe transfer of this movie before it is crisp clear no fuzz or noise. It is availble in full and widescreen. Widescreen is the only way to see the whole movie the it was shot for the theater The audio the 5.1 mix is stellar and really rumbles the room thru the storm and other shots. There is also a 2.0 mix which is ok but where it shines is its dtx mix it is mind blowing The Extras Commentary from The Director And photographer as very boring to listen too they seem bored and uninterested in what they are saying plus get off topic alot Theatrical Trailers Nice to see but really bad quality T.V. spots More trailers Bonus Disc if u get the 2 disc limited edition Inteview with Associate Producer Llyod Kaufman not very interesting makes u say where are the stars who cares about producers Interviews with jolly rogers f-14 squadron more fluff with nothing to really do with the movie poster and still gallery always a pointless feature Kirk douglas bio the bright spot of the extras not really much to do with the movie but a great look at kik DVD-ROM Feature Zero Pilot Journal more just fluff not really interesting Read more Less

FINALLY

Pros: it's about damn time

Cons: it took too damn long for this movie to come to DVD

i loved this movie when i was 9 years old and saw it. the whole story is original and very well written. the idea was fresh and exciting. my favorite part of the movie was seeing all of the TOMCAT fighters in the air at the same time. the camera work... was top-notch, especially for 24 yrs ago. i've been looking for this movie on VHS and DVD for a very long time. FINAL COUNTDOWN is a riveting SCI-FI; with an excellent cast and compelling story lines. this movie is a must have in anyone's video library. Read more Less

I can't find it in any store, or Rental Shop, this is one of my top 10 best of all time, it appears distrabution has stopped, what a shame. An excellent story, very well thought out, great effects, and a super star cast.

The Final Countdown - A Lesson in Philos

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 28, 2001

This movie is one of Hollywoods greatest achievements. Even if you don't like "war" movies, this movie begs the question: If you could go back in time and change world history, would you? Should you?
