The Final Countdown [Blu-ray]

Yes, my friends it will truely be the SPINAL countdown as you watch this great film, as you will NOT want to leave your sitting position as you are sucked into the vortex of this movie. I loved it, great fun. Aviation buffs take note, there is great attention to detal here. Martin Sheen is very convincing as the "expert" sent aboard to observe operations. Then comes the trip back to 1941. The film is engaging and it is fun and features the F-14 (of top gun fame) Who could ask for anything more? Simon says check it out! One final thing, am I the only one who LOVES the sound of the helicopter blades turning as Martin Sheen steps aboard the helicopter for the first time? They sound SO COOL. Do helicopters still sound like this? If not why not? Anyhow, check it out!

If you're looking for a popcorn movie from the 80's, then this is your movie. This sci-fi combines the elements of a well-written script with decent action. The areal sequences are phenomenal. This is the first and probably only time in which you will witness a modern-day F14 Tomcat and a WWII Mitsubishi Zero on the same screen. Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen both do a remarkably good job in this flick.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Good actors, and actress. Great plot, and good story line. Good filming and direction. A must to have...

After catching bits and pieces on TV for years I finally rented this and I am glad I did. Great cast and decent story make this worth seeing. It is indeed a "What if?" story about the aircraft carrier Nimitz being transported in time back to 1941 right before Pearl Harbor was attacked. We know all this before watching it but it is interesting to see how it unfolds. Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Katherine Ross, and the rest the cast do a fine job. I recommend this one for the whole family. This is one you can safely purchase and without any concern for someone being offended. Good quality DVD with decent replaybility.

Just a fun movie to pass the afternoon with. You will enjoy every min. of it.
