Very well executed
Load of rubbish!!
Absolutely the worst movie.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Give it a chance. It is watchable. If you are 12 don't even start it, it is the type of camp that absolutely repels 12 year old's of all ages. You kinda have to buy into the drama heart strings thing, ignore some of the really campy acting- not real bad, just a competent high schoolish type of acting.Very low budget but quite an attempt at a complicated script back when it cost actual imagination and film technique instead of todays fair to slick computer fx key punching.It is a story of redemption with a saccharine sweet ending but not for the kids due to over the top killings (though "clean", like back in the days of 'BANG' and people fall down with some fx, but not overly gory like a real shooting is).Almost a silly movie in some aspects, think TV show with this one. I gave it a 7 because it is a 4.something and deserves at least a 5.
I really like Science Fiction, and time-travel stories in particular. Therefore I had high expectations when I saw Tomorrow Man in the video store. I was VERY disappointed!The plot was transparently obvious and the writing was wooden at best! Most of the characters were so two-dimensional they could have been cardboard cutouts.The "time patrol" (or whatever it was called) has lots of potential as a plot device. Unfortunately, none of it was realized in this movie.Don't waste your time or money!
Wow. Not your usual time-travel flick, for sure. From some rather giddy heights induced by Beth Kennedy's hilariously wise-ass, acerbic character to a heart-wrenching scene of a beating, this is something of a roller-coaster - tending to the highs rather than the lows. I think all the actors do 'very good' on up to 'excellent' - unfortunately, Stevie Johnson (Griffin) is hung with a somewhat lame (and wholly unnecessary) plot device intended to lend urgency to an already urgent situation. However, his mysterious dislike for his good friend from 30 years in the past does serve to pique our curiosity - Larry (Corbin Bernsen)was one of the _good_ guys; how did he go wrong? We're propelled along this journey by an engrossing story, not special effects - the "effect" for time travel here is simple, cheap, inobtrusive...and oddly effective. And the problem of explaining how time travel is possible is disposed of by the simple expedient of ignoring it. It's possible, so there. (Which is what Kennedy's little bit of exposition on the subject amounts to.) Definitely worth a look.
Available on DVD in the UK.A complete surprise this one. I buy quite a few cheap DVD's and this was one of a few that I've had a couple of months and only just got round to watching. The cover and plot write up make this film sound like a low grade B-movie that should be consigned to movie hell BUT....Give it a go and you'll have a really entertaining 90 minutes. A good storyline with basic special effects but the undercurrents of 'how life can be' really make this movie.It does make you think and movies that do that are no bad thing.
