Total Recall: Victory at Sea

40%

There have been any number of movies about Pearl Harbor, and quite a few films featuring modern-day nuclear wessels -- but the only one that's ever dared to combine the two of them is The Final Countdown, starring Kirk Douglas as the skipper of a supercarrier that somehow wanders through a time vortex and ends up traveling back in time from 1980 to 1941 -- one day before the attack at Pearl Harbor. It's an intriguingly silly premise, at the very least; sadly, audiences weren't terribly interested in seeing how it all played out, and critics, for the most part, weren't impressed. Calling the movie "utter nonsense," Vincent Canby of the New York Times allowed, "In defense of Don Taylor, the director, I must say I don't think there was any way in which he could have made sense out of the screenplay or could have directed the actors to speak this dialogue with conviction."
