I have long thought about what would happen if an aircraft carrier or Aegis ship went back to the past and faced the Japanese and German battleships or fleets. The two sides played against each other and fought a blurred war. This film is almost like this, the aircraft carrier goes back to the past. However, the downside is that the plot is thin, the fantasy battle does not appear, and there is no game between the two sides without understanding each other.
However, it can be said that as a feature film, it does look bleak, but as a military fan, it is a good film that has to be recommended. At the beginning of the chapter, there are a lot of shots of planes landing, and the details are very confident. Among them, there are many interesting things to see, such as arresting the landing of the cable, arresting the landing of the net, aircraft ejection, helicopter take-off and landing, large batches of aircraft flying, E2 Hawkeye, Sea King helicopters dispatched for search and rescue missions, F-14 aerial refueling missions, various types of combat aircraft, etc. , I watched it for a long time until the subtitles finally came out. It's a bit like a Navy propaganda film. Of course, this film was shot relatively early, and the F-18 has not been seen on the ship. Many details and highlights are welcome to be added by military fans.

    When I look at it, I always think that person is Charlie Sheen, but it turns out to be his father!

    American-style time-travel... It's the military exhibition of the U.S. military in the 1980s... The soundtrack of chicken blood... All time-travel dramas want to be "satisfactory", that is, the ending conforms to historical facts, forming a cycle...

The Final Countdown quotes

  • Lasky: [a captured Japanese prisoner is holding a captive and is demanding access to a radio] Why don't you tell him what's going on here, Commander? You're an expert on what's gonna happen tomorrow; tell him about it, for God's sakes. Go on, tell him! We got nothing to lose!

    Captain Yelland: [Owens looks at Yelland, who nods] Go ahead, tell him.

    Commander Richard Owens: [hesitates, then looks directly at the Japanese prisoner] 26 November, six carriers left the Kuril Isles north of Japan. The carriers were the Akagi, Kaga, Shokaku, Zuikaku, Hiryu, Soryu. Tomorrow at dawn, these carriers will send 353 planes to attack Pearl Harbor.

    Senator Chapman: [staring, stunned] How in the hell do you know all that?

    Commander Richard Owens: Your code is "Climb Mount Niitaka." Niitakayama nobore!

    [the Japanese prisoner, looking horrified, slowly lowers the gun and is shot to death by security crew]

  • Lasky: Think of the history of the next forty years...

    Commander Richard Owens: I have a suspicion history will be a little more difficult to beat, than you imagine Mr. Lasky.

    Lasky: I'm talking about the classic paradox of time. Imagine, for example, I go back in time and meet my own Grandfather. Long before he got married, before he had children. And we have an argument, and I kill him. Now if that happens, how am I ever going to be born? And if I can never be born, how can I go back in history and meet my very own Grandfather?

    Commander Richard Owens: [angrily] I'm not half the theorist you are, Mr. Lasky. But I still have a gut instinct that things only happen once. And if they have happened, then there's nothing we can do to change them. Nor should we try.

    Lasky: Well, how are you going to avoid it? It's already happening, and we're already involved!

    Commander Dan Thurman: For Christ's sake! What is this, some half-assed Princeton debating society? We are in a war situation! This is a United States warship! Or, at least, it used to be. Or will be. Or what the hell ever! Oh, Goddammit, you can drive yourself crazy just trying to think about this stuff!

    [shouts]

    Commander Dan Thurman: Jesus, I must be dreaming!
