When the film begins, you learn that the Americans have a cool device that allows agents to jump back in time to the immediate past! They're using this to battle the ever-present Communist Chinese agents who seem bent on destroying America. Eventually he and his fellow agents learn that the Chinese have smuggled in parts to a nuclear bomb. Where in the US it's going to be detonated and by whom is something Power is going to need to discover--paired up with the Hong Kong-based investigator, Kitty. Can they stop the dreaded Big Buddha (Harold Sakata)?
I didn't mind seeing Hunter's character being out-thought by the female agent, but too many times he just seemed arrogant and really dumb...too dumb to live dumb! This is a weakness of the film. While she's obviously smarter than she is, at the end, Kitty is also a complete moron. And, so was Big Buddha for that matter!! However I did like how realistic and pragmatic the Power was, as he was not above slugging a woman or nearly twisting her arm off to get the truth--which makes since considering the Dragon organization is contemplating mass murder! And, I did like Big Buddha's style-- especially when one of his subordinates has the nerve to TELL him what he should do next! Overall, it's a film that had great promise but it really needed some editing to make the characters less like caricatures. I see this as a time- passer and not much more due to the inconsistent writing. In many ways, this plays like an old movie serial than a film that expected the viewer to take it seriously.
By the way, I saw this on YouTube and the print is badly faded--with the print looking sepia hued instead of in vivid color.
The goodies are equipped with cool gadgets around their waists like Willy McBean's Magic Machine (a bit like the device later employed in Michael Crichton's 'Looker') that enable them to run rings round the bad guys; although their training evidently didn't extend to anticipating the most intelligent use of the enormous tactical advantage this gives them in the field.
"Dimension 5" is an original, but dated, espionage movie and quite underrated in IMDb. I bought this DVD because of the name of Jeffrey Hunter, the unforgettable Captain Christopher Pike of "Star Trek", and I did not dislike this type of 007 with time travel. There is one specific scene that is shamefully bad, when Justin Power finds that Kitty has not died in the car and hugs her and the DVD released in Brazil by Classicline distributor presents many scratched images, but in the end this movie is a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Dimensão 5" ("Dimension 5")

- WissenswertesSixteen months before the movie's release, on June 28, 1965, the Pan Am Boeing 707 (registration: N761PA) that Jeffrey Hunter is seen leaving from during the opening credits had an engine explode just after taking off from San Francisco. The uncontained engine explosion caused a fire, a fuel tank explosion and one wing partially separated. The plane made an emergency landing at Travis Air Force Base and there were no injuries.
- PatzerJustin Power lands by helicopter on top of a Los Angeles skyscraper and proceeds to go to various offices and corridors in that building. When he finally exits, it is from what appears to be a two-story building, apparently an art gallery.

Sunny: [Goes all coy, puts hands behind back] Well, Sir - I wanted you to know that, - urm, I mean that, Mr. Cane called just before you came in; he said to check in with you as soon as possible.
Justin Power: Now, Sunny, how many times have I told you that when Mr. Cane calls, you must tell me immediately
