So we end up with a rather generic action sci-fi piece, from my standpoint, some of it copying the tone of TERMINATOR 2 (1991), which probably influenced many sci-fi action films in the nineties. We later watched the movie a second time to write down the locations, then a 3rd time to actually watch the story! Then we made a day-trip to visit the locations to get a better feel for the movie.įor me, this is inferior to the best time travel films ( THE TIME MACHINE, TIME AFTER TIME, etc.).Īs a Van Damme vehicle, it's typical. We had MORE fun identifying the filming locations than the movie at that time. I was in Vancouver, BC when this was released and saw it with my girlfriend.

Like any good time travel story, the twists and turns in the plot (and the time line) will challenge your brain and stimulate the growth new dendrites. It's a kind of rocket sled that races towards a concrete barrier and then - well, they don't actually show the and-then, but one of the characters makes a veiled reference to some smears on the concrete barrier that are the residue of unsuccessful time jumps.īut the rocket sled doesn't go back with the time traveler, he just appears at the destination (a very imaginative special effect), and he comes back by activating a small device he carries with him. The time traveling hardware is unique, too. It's also a very good time travel movie, delving into some interesting aspects of the whole temporal paradox and the cause-and-effect-reversal concept that each movie seems to deal with in its own way. Not many time travel movies have exciting gun battles and skilled martial arts fighting.
