The Final Countdown 1980

Starring: Kirk Douglas

An aircraft carrier on manoeuvres near Hawaii passes through a strange storm and finds itself back at Pearl Harbor.

Forget the daft sci-fi concept & dodgy special effects. Forget the fact that having travelled through time, they arrived at the exact moment that Pearl Harbor was about to become famous, forget the historical impossibility of it all. This was a good, fun yarn with an interesting mix of naval hardware. Having loved aircraft carriers since I was a kid, this was right down my street. 8/10
