This is another sci-fi time travel movie I enjoyed. It may not be suited to every audience. The movie aged a bit but the HG Wells book stands the test of time. This version of the HG Wells classic will have its advocates and naysayers. [attachment=0]Time After Time.jpg[/attachment] DVD Time after Time Amazon Movies on Demand Time After Time Online

What if you had the power to change history? That is the situation facing the crew of state-of-the-art battleship,
the U.S.S Nimitz when they are hurled back to December 6, 1941.

The 30th Anniversary of The Final Countdown is coming up. I wrote a synopsis of the movie on Lockergnome
with analysis of the book which is the actual screenplay for the movie. Review can be found on Lockergnome through the following link.

Produced with the full cooperation of the U.S. Navy and filmed on board the USS Nimitz supercarrier, The Final Countdown was a moderate success at the box office. In the years that followed, the film has developed a cult status among science fiction and military aviation fans. Source: Wikipedia
