The Final Countdown (2 Disk) worth getting ?
 
I noticed there are two different version of this film. the 2 disc (limited to 100,000 copies apparently) and the regular.

Just wondering if its worth the 2 disc and which version you guys were getting. I havent seen this film since i was a kid but remember liking it :)

The specs say the 2 disc is the one to get.

Well IMHO, the 2 disc's supplement just doesnt interest me as much, I mean interview with pilots? Wish they gotten a interview with Kirk Douglas or martin sheen. 1 disc will be fine by me.

I'm getting the 2 discer. for me.... an obvious no-brainer. I'm buying a second copy for a buds birthday.

Wow I had no idea Lloyd Kaughman of Troma infamy was an Associate Producer on the film!!


Still being low on cash. I may go with the 1 disc release,it is $11.98 at DDD...& I have not seen the film before aside from brief moments on tv. So it will be nice to see the entire thing in its proper AR!

I'm going with the 2-disc version. It's only $6 more than the single disc at deepdiscountdvd.com, and it has an eye-catching lenticular cover. ;)

Same here....one disc. :)

I can't remember the exact number, but the 2d is of a very limited supply... so, it will be more rare.

One disc for me.

Having the movie in anamorphic widescreen is more than enough. I could care less for this supposed collector's edition which they have decided to charge more for.....they should be selling this 2 disc version for the $13.99 price and not even making people decide on which version they should buy. IMO :)

2-disc for me, also.

I'm on the fence now.. the 2nd disc sounds disappointing.

No commentary from any of the stars.. :(

I couldn't look myself in the mirror if I didn't buy the two disc version.

Went for the 2-Disc myself. It was only a few bucks more at DDD so couldn't pass it up.
