Terry Staunton Radio Times Director Paul Ziller plays fast and loose with the events of the original 1979 novel and its 1984 film adaptation, too often falling back on cultural and societal differences seven decades apart, at the expense of a cohesive narrative.

Greg H Just awful, the only difference between this and Sharknado which uses the same calibre of actor, direction and effects is that Sharknado was so bad it was kinda good. This doesn't get that far. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Dougal E This is the worst movie ever made by light years. They should have dusted off the script from the original. Being water boarded by the CIA in Guantánamo Bay would be more pleasurable and less excruciating Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Raakhee N Omg! I haven't even finished watching the movie and I had to stop by rate it! While the movie concept is cool that dumb character Kathryn Moore whatever she is from military… I can't understand why she wants to get the OG scientist and Bill Gardner killed who has come to the future with the uss Eldrige??? Like what? Why??? Why would u want to kill a man from the past?! I just don't get it…. What is happening! That character is so stupid. Bad movie, unfortunately 😭😭 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Don J Stupidity and ignorance abound. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Barth S A movie I wish I could unwatch. It was an interesting storyline, but a couple real bad castings or bad acting jobs ruined it completely. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review John C Absurdly stupid in every way; painfully bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Read all reviews
