Michael Harlan (John Stockwell) has procrastinated on his science project until the last minute and his teacher (Dennis Hopper) issues him an ultimatum: turn in a science project or flunk.
So, of course, Mike scavenges a military base’s junk pile for a suitable gizmo to pass off as his project.
He finds one… and unwittingly unleashes the awesome power and energy of the unknown object. Twisted Dimensions. Time Warps. A fantastic realm where the past, present and future collide in a whirling vortex that takes the guys on a startling adventure back in time and into the future.
This is a great movie of the sci-fi genre. Very clever and funny in its presentation as well. It is similar to "
The Last Starfighter" with its mix of action and comedy.
Fisher Stevens acts in his funniest role besting his performance in "
Short Circuit".
This movie brings you back to the great “B” movies of time with its low budget puppet monsters and back-screen special effects!
Great movie night flick!! Bring the popcorn and enjoy the ride!
Notice any mistakes? Review
Strengths: Funny, good story, great "old school" SFX, Fisher Stevens.
Weaknesses? May be too cheesey for some.
