FINAL COUNTDOWN(1980)
(Recorded from tape)
A time travel movie about ships, planes and war!
A Naval ship in the Pacific(it's actually in the
Atlantic) runs into rough weather and in reality
a time warp which places them smack dab in the middle
of WWII!! Some great stars here(Kirk Douglas,
Martin Sheen, Soon-Tek Oh) and an interesting story!
Worth at least one watch! B
From IMDb.com:
The USS Nimitz in 1980 runs into a vortex at sea; the
captain initially suspects war, although he's picking
up Jack Benny on the air! Time-transport adventure
sends the officers and crew back to Pearl Harbor in
1941, just prior to the attack by the Japanese. Intriguing
science-fiction premise from four screenwriters (David
Ambrose, Gerry Davis, Thomas Hunter and Peter Powell)
makes for a fascinating if awesomely-extended B-budget
epic. Director Don Taylor keeps the action rousing but
doesn't pay enough attention to the performances, which
are mostly dull. **1/2 from **** - moonspinner55
