I watched this again last night. I really like this movie. It adds quite a twist to Pearl Harbor and is very thought provoking with respect to what might have been. | ||

Great flick. Excellent cast. "Splash the Zeros" I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

Good movie. "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence.

I enjoyed the novelization, too. Like many, it added info that you could only guess about on screen. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

I saw the movie at a theater in Denver, Colorado. With the size of the screen it made that Tomcat appear life size, as that black screen morphs into looking up the burner can of that F-14. “SH-3 inbound from the right.

I remember seeing it in the theater as well. I have always held in awe the operations of an aircraft carrier. For the time, on a scale of 1-10, this movie had a "cool factor" of 11.  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I did a little search on my Amazon FireTV and found this film streams for free on the Tubi App. Whatever that may be. Now I’ll have to get some free time so it will no longer seem that I have been living in a cave. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Hate that movie. My wife would keep asking me questions like "but if they were in 1941, how could they be in 1985???? Just watch the dam movie !!!!!! | |||

Before Top Gun, I believe this was the only movie where Tomcats got screen time to show off their moves. Also, one of the few times that the magazine areas of a carrier is shown on film. | |||

I'm surprised that Hollywood hasn't redone this film, considering that they seemed to have re-made every other movie from the 1980's. A remake would have F-18's and F-35's, though. | |||

I like the movie, but I’ve never figured out what the title “The Final Countdown” has to do with the movie, the plot, or anything. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Y’all have to cut me a little slack. The movie came out a few years before I was even born. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | |||
