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