| User ReviewChristopher Ca strangely forgotten low budget, high concept indi masterpiece directed by Peter Fonda no less. |
| User Reviewrob kSimple and interesting, This is a 70's sci-fi movie that I enjoyed nearly 40 years later. It does not feel dated, like watching an old star trek show, the story holds up on it's own without the futuristic props. |
| User ReviewAndy TNot too bad actually. Saw a video of it from OverDrive, which is a digital service many libraries offer. Didn't see the twist at the end coming. This might make an interesting companion piece to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. I wonder if he saw it back when he said he first learned about the environmental crisis in college. |
| User ReviewJustin WA must see, if only for the cheesy hippie sentimentality of the ending. I'd have given it five stars, but thats a rating I reserve for true works of art like Sleepaway Camp. |
| User ReviewRob NA little thought-provoking movie directed by Peter Fonda in the early 70s. Focusing on time travel & backpacking in the Idaho wilderness.., with a little surprise twist at the end! |
| User ReviewTravis SInteresting curio directed by Peter Fonda, and he does a good job directing it. The acting is a bit rough around the edges, but it's an engrossing story, imaginative and a lot is done on a low budget. Fascinating. |
| User Reviewdelysid da movie about time travel. these youths manage to get to the future, where humans have been wiped out. but, the time travel process makes them sterile so its a waste of time anyway. this is sort of a long forgotten film that only 70s sci fi freaks would like |
| User ReviewMichael TSilly & confusing, with some seriously bad acting. |
| User ReviewWilliam WThis film is beyond confusing. There plot is a mess, the characters are annoying, and every single detail makes no sense. The end scene was left unexplained. Even when it tries to be thrilling, it fails to capture any interest. A really stupid, really mind-numbing film. |
| User ReviewBruce BThis Movie is directed by Peter Fonda, and he once again proves that not only can he not act, he suxs as a director / producer. He's kind of like Kyle Petty in Nascar, just cause daddy can drive the King Richard Petty, doesn't mean that Kyle can, and he can't. In this case its Henry Fonda who can and does and Peter who can't. Anyway its a hippy film, being transferred to the future thru a time machine to get away from it all and start Civilization all over, but it doesn't work, hey pass that bong over here, maybe I will better understand this 86 mins of crap. Well after 3 hits still it makes little or no sense, After watching it about 1/3 into the movie the 2 girls come across a hiker and his girlfriend, when he is getting out of the car he whispers something to one of the girls, It had nothing to do with anything in the movie. This one was in the Nightmare Worlds 50 pack from Mill Creek, I surly would buy it, but I see on Amazon it goes for a hefty price. 1 star is all it gets and I am being nice. |
