Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Enrique Sanchez OK this was not a big production...but heck, it was fun to watch. The ideas of time travel are all engraved into our brains. The ins and outs and the possibilities and the paradoxes.This movie handled it well...and it did NOT take itself seriously it even had a comic touches, though slight enough not to be painful...just enjoyable.Sure, many things could have been done - with a budget. And even with this qualm, the result had nuances and a good storyline that did not cause half the population to tear down the plausibility factor in the time continuum that is usually laid down as the test in these types of movies.I thought the ensemble was good and there were few clichés that stuck out in my mind. Those who would say this is a bad movie or a B-movie are missing out on one thing which I repeat: FUN.This movie was fun and it was fun to watch it unfold. Even with the predictability of the whole thing, at least we weren't asked to challenge our understanding of science fiction and the time travel genre.
runner-15 Not bad as time travel movies go. But the sets were atrocious and the acting was weak. As with many time travel movies the plot was predictable. Probably the most disappointing prop was the time machine itself. It looked like they went down to the local hardware store and picked up a load of plywood and a few cans of spray paint. In fact the time machine prop resembled a backyard storage shed you can buy at your local Home depot. The actors appeared to be sleepwalking through most of their scenes. Ned Beatty did his best to provide us with a good performance, but he was unable to carry the movie by himself.That being said, the movie deals with time travel as well, if not better, than most time travel movies. The fact the the writer at least tried to provide us with a reasonable flow of events and seemed to have more than a passing interest in providing us with a logical time travel tale increases my appreciation for this little low budget flick.
raevan-2 I think I originally saw this movie when I was 10 or 11 and I loved it! I watched it everyday for like a whole summer. Now that I am an adult the movie is so-so but it sure brings back some memories! I would recommend this movie to watch if you are bored on a rainy day and need something to do. It's not great, it's not very believable, and it is a very low budget but it does have its moments.This movie would have been much better with proper acting, more money, and someone that could properly edit a script. As it stands it reminds me of a lot of those 80's adventure type movies. Here is a brief summary of the movie...This bad guy decides he wants to take the prototype of a freshly created time machine and go back in time to take out the relative of the person(s) that were part of the time machine team. I am not sure why he wanted to do this...could be he didn't like them or just wanted to make his own Time Machine and get all the credit. Not even sure if it says in the movie. The good people decide they have to stop this! and bring in a team of people to help blend in and make their way back in time to follow bad guy. The inventors daughter decides she too will bring him back!They head back in time to the 90's get chased by this cop, bad guy fails and heads further back in time. The team follows. So does the cop.They all end up in England or something when I think when they were in the 90's they were in the United States. The team gets split up. 1 person dresses up like the bride to this evil tyrant (who is none other than bad guy they are looking for!)The daughter finds some clothes and meets this oh so handsome knight and tells him she is looking for this Red Duke (who is a relative of her family and none other than knight boy himself and the target of bad guy! whew!)FINALLY everything gets to the knitty gritty and all is well. There is also twoish love stories going on... maybe three. I hope you all enjoy this B movie from the late 80's.
DonnaJo For anyone looking for some unintentional humor, this movie would not be a bad choice. The premise itself is pretty interesting: in the future, scientists are battling for control of the planet and one of them goes into the past to kill off his rivals. It could have benefitted from a better script and a bigger budget. The sets were very fake-looking and the costumes looked like something out of a high shcool production. One of the funnier moments actually comes when Shriner goes to open a door and almost knocks it down. The design team also apparently had some trouble finding up-to-date cars for the present-day New York sequence. The whole production had a 1980s air about it, typified by the brightly-colored tie-dyes that the cast dons at one point. The movie is actually a lot funnier in hindsight. Back when I saw it, I was disappointed and embarrassed for the filmmakers. Knowing who Roger Corman is actually makes me smile when I think of it.
