The Final Countdown 
Main Actor(s)/Actresses: Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, & James Farentino
Memorable supporting cast: Katherine Ross
Plot: The U.S.S. Nimitz is caught in a strange ‘storm’ which sends the aircraft carrier back to the date of December 6th, 1941, the day before the Japanese launch an attack on Pearl Harbor. With modern airplanes and weaponry they could stop the infamous attack. Will they change the course of history?
Extra thoughts: I think this movie falls short of the mark. It leaves you wanting more. I wouldn’t run out and see it. I would rent it for a buck and watch it if I was bored.

Year released: 1980
Rated: PG
Stars: 2 and 1/2 out of 5
