When Time Expires

Watched this movie years ago. It is not that great of a stand alone film but for the sc-fi fan it is awesome Richard Grieco and Mark Hamill really make this movie work. Mark Hamill really did a few good low budget movies back in the 1990's.

I'm glad I read the positive reviews that caused me to give this movie a chance. It's not great in that the acting is mediocre, but the whole time travel beurocracy part and everyone's motivations made sense by the end of the movie, so that all worked for me. The movie also had some nice touches in it ghat I appreciated, like the assistants working through tv sets, the watches that beep when the time travelers are getting too close to doing something that woould adversely effect the future, and the bad guys in long coats and cowboy hats moving in slow motion. I also enjoyed the happy ending. Both I and my wife were glad we watched.

Low budget? Yes. Big stars? Well, how about Mark Hamill and Chad Everett. A charming, well-made, sci-fi flick with a feel-good ending. Cast does a very creditable job, Cynthia Geary I could take home to Mom (and would very much like to! Sorry, Mom. I know you would understand), inventive story line. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

Caught this movie on TV and it definitely held my attention. I appreciated the fact that what little violence there was mainly took the form of fistfights. I would have rated it 10, except for the gratuitous and really ridiculous taking of the Lord's name in vain so many times, considering that we're dealing with an organization of advanced planets. Certainly this "federation" of thousands of planets must know Who it is that created those planets. Probably the smarmy Showtime networks idea. So minus two for that. The few special effects there were just reminded me of the low budget original Star Trek. If the story is there, and it is, special effects used judiciously are fine. The beautiful Cynthia Geary is a plus.

Well i was just rooting through a box of videos from a few years ago and came across this film. its raining like hell today and freezing cold, so staying in is the best option with a mug of chocolate! :) The plot is involving and gets you trying to guess whats going on. a few twists here and there. couple of fights with your A-typical redneck town idiots too! it was a nice plain and very watchable film. nothing over complicated and dumbed down, relying on CGI or over editing to keep you entertained. just a film as it should be. After it ended i was left feeling it could have ended a little more slowly, not so abrupt. But still an overall nice film.
