Movies that you wish You Could Change The Story and Events

The Final Countdown is most interesting because they got permission to film on an actual carrier it looks so much more expensive.
One thing that was neat I thought was that the Japanese pilot did not go crazy about the newer technology--he wasn't freaking out in a stereotypical way about the future technology.

Charles Durning says "everyone knows Roosevelt wants to get into the war." That's something not often advertised.
I wonder how "mysterious" the senator's disappearance really was. I don't think the big studios would have done this movie. There is no criticism at all of the military or exaggerated depiction. No one has PTSD. The use of time travel is interesting--that it is a natural phenomenon.
This is a good one to watch with that Twilight Zone in which the tank goes back to the Little Big Horn.

If they do reboot of this one, have the carrier from the future face off against the Japanese fleet. What ruins The Final Countdown for me is they didn't do that.

The Final Countdown 1980 This film set ups such a fascinating premise of what if the US Nimbiz went back in to to Pealt Harbor 1941 could outcome have b]been changed ? and what do they do? The get suck back into the same time vortex that young them there and don't end up preventing Peal Harbor This film was a huge disappointment.

Wasn't it just?! An utterly pointless movie - the highlight of which, for me, was, during one of the endless walking away down the corridor shots, seeing a hapless extra (or possibly crew member) walk halfway out of a doorway in the foreground before realising he was in the wrong place and ducking back out of shot again.

It had an interesting premise and they screwed it up.

Rogue One is the best of the later series of films.

I'd love to see the original version before re-shoots / re-edited. I'm glad we got a Darth Vader sperg out scene, but the original version generally sounds better, imho.

Colossus: The Forbin Project - I'd love to see a reboot of this using modern technology. So much of that film is prescient - but I'd change the last third of the movie which just fizzled out.

We only got the first book dealing with Colossus, there were two other books in the series.
