'The Visitor' travels back in time to find young Alice, whose father is building a nuclear power plant, responsible for the upcoming catastrophe. For the Visitor, her father has to die: it is the only way to prevent this inevitable apocalypse and to save the world. But time is running out! Led by the ruthless Constance, the 'Time Brigade', a Police force from the Future, is hunting them down to prevent any temporal change. Alice is faced with an impossible choice: saving her father or saving the world?

The entire film feels and looks like a big season finale of Doctor Who, with the stakes and surprises to match.

A weak film, acting is ok but get ready for only one type of tongue in cheek humor aimed at normie geeks. The setting blends all the typical scifi themes but creates a heartless blob of it all, mixing zombies and time travel, post apocalyptic survival and a manhunt. An attempt of a rehash of Dr Who but without the proper scenario and a painfully slow story. Also rehashes the typical zeitgeist, nuclear powerplants are bad and blow up causing deadly clouds, timecops are bad for some reason never explained, as well as suits... Feels more like a class project on ecology with better special effects than anything else. The only valuable scene was with the girl and her dad reconnecting.

Really enjoyed this movie filled with enjoyable characters, humour, plot line and action to keep you on the edge of your seat with your attention. The only downside is the bad language at times but other than that something fresh and different for me. Would recommend anyone to give this movie a try you won't regret it. Don't worry there is no idealogy or woke stuff unlike in other movies just pure fun

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
