      Audience Reviews for Blast From the Past

      • Jun 29, 2012

        Blast from the Past is a quirky fish-out-of-water story with a unique twist. In the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis the Webbers lock themselves in a fallout shelter, mistaking a plane crash for a nuclear strike, and emerge 35 years later to a strange new world. The film has a fun cast that includes Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Dave Foley, and Christopher Walken. But the acting is uneven, and the actors don't have much chemistry. However, things come together in the second half of the film and it manages to delivery some touching moments. Blast from the Past is a charming and campy film that has a few issues but still manages to be fun and entertaining.

        t has some things i like about it like the beginning 35 minutes with the whole, them being in a bomb shelter for 35 years, and i liked some of the jokes after the 35 minutes but overall it was just an average comedy film.

        The story was peculiar. But not that bad I guess. I wasn't bored. That could be a plus point.
