Great what if sci-fi with a nuclear aircraft carrier, a time warp, and the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The special effects are funnier than, I suspect, they were intended to be.

A solid movie with a lousy ending.

Little more than a lengthy Twilight Zone episode.

An idea worthy of Harlan Ellison, but disappointingly fumbled.

Something you'd watch on TV for free without complaint.

It's filled with technology, special effects and action. But it just doesn't make any sense.

One of the better time-travel movies. Generates lots of suspense because it's directed and acted with a great deal of conviction. John Scott's musical score is outstanding.

As a documentary on the USS Nimitz, The Final Countdown is wonderful. As entertainment, however, it has the feeling of a telepic that strayed onto the big screen.
