Review of The Final Countdown (1980) by Steve W — 22 Oct 2009
A fun movie with an incredible premise and story. A perfect What If?: What If a 1980 American Destroyer went through a time portal, back in time to 1941 - The Attack of Pearl Harbour. Think of all the possibilities and ramifications that could occur from tampering with time.
The cast is excellent, especially Kirk Douglas. The only weakness of the movie is that it is very anti-climactic. There's a lot of build up throughout the film, and instead of what you are expecting you get a deus ex machina type ending that disappoints, but at the same time is very fitting.
All in all, a very entertaining movie that keeps your attention. Worth a look.
