Review of The Final Countdown (1980) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 13 Jun 1986
This is the kind of movie that some kids would probably enjoy - it's filled with technology, special effects and action. But it just doesn't make any sense. And It lacks the wit to have fun with its time travel paradoxes, as last year's wonderful Time After Time did.
It just plows ahead. Or behind. Or somewhere.
