If no one has seen this movie, I strongly suggest it just to see the FLAGg and Skystrikers in action. It is a movie about the Nimitz time traveling to WWII, it is old. I remember it vaguely from when I was a kid but it is on tubi and Amazon right now.

HBO use to play this all the time.....had a pretty cool "What If?" thought to it. The Senators boat that gets blown up, the whole "should we stop the Japanese from attacking" or let history happen, and the end with the Senators aide that survived with the pilot from the Nimitz....

I realize now that it would have been nearly impossible to film, but as much as I loved this movie as a kid, the ending really pissed me off. I wanted to see the Nimitz blow the hell out of the Japanese fleet!

I loved the Admiral saying that the Nimitz could take
Out the entire Japanese fleet by itself. |

I loved this and the original Philadelphia Experiment back in the day. I always felt that the admiral shoulda said fuck it and wasted the japanese and saved pearl harbor.

The Final Countdown is an interesting movie. The Tomcat and Nimitz footage is second to none, and the cast is really, really good. I wish they'd spent a bit more time building the characters, and maybe given Martin Sheen's character a bit more of an arc. On the other hand, it's a rare example of movie time travel where it was always fated to happen that way, and the time travelling actually just fulfills history instead of upsetting it. It's unique, and the time travel mechanics are largely consistent, which are both things that can't be said about Avengers Endlame.
Plus, again, the F-14 footage is amazing. "Splash two Zeros!" Philadelphia Experiment is one of those interesting movies based on a John Carpenter story idea, but not made by him. I have to wonder what it would've been like if he'd been behind the camera. |
