A scientist from the future goes back in time to do (stuff that I wasn’t paying attention enough to figure out), but his assistant’s daughter goes back to stop him with the help of one of the grandfather’s of time travel.

For an old TV-movie this is pretty good.

  • The actual movie is copyright 1986.

Having moved into a new place, a man gets caught in terrible circumstances when he discovers his neighbour is a research facility which built a prototype time machine.

A great movie. In the tradition of lower-budget movies, it emphasises atmosphere, writing and acting than special effects. In, in fact, has no special effects whatsoever.. and they’re not missed.

Highly recommended for fans of time travel movies. For others not familiar with this sub-genre, this’ll probably play like a mild mystery-horror.

A man travels back in time to save the husband of the woman he grew up idolizing.

Not a terrible movie, but it really breaks down into a confusing mess past the half-way mark. It does make up for things near the end though, which is a good recovery. So for a direct-to-video movie, it does pretty good for itself.

The fates of two dumbasses is challenged by an man from their future, bent on bending their future-utopia into his world-domination.

An excellent movie. Though it does suffer from some generation-drift, it suffers far less than its predecessor. It’s not childish, but it is light enough to be “young”. Enjoyable, well-written and recommended. Grab a beer and some popcorn with your buddies and enjoy this at least once.

A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.

While I don’t regret watching this, it’s only fair at best in my mind. While it does get tangled up in some of the more interesting themes of time travel fiction, it dances around things and is generally too fluffy for me to keep the tough stuff in my mind.

Soldiers, separated from their opposing factions, travel with the last techno-druid to their sacred land, hoping for knowledge.

I wanted this to be good, but it’s as though it had all the most boring parts of any random anime, except this was live-action. Not recommended, even for people who might like the concept.

A world broken by plague sends a team back in time to prevent the virus from spreading.

It’s better than a B-movie but definitely not A-quality. I would class this as a good TV-movie. Worth a watch if you’re into science fiction.
