Terrible acting, poor storyline and very predictable. 2 stars for trying to make it.

This was an enjoyable, guilty pleasure to watch. I'm a huge fan of the 80's action, adventure movies & this movie is so well executed that it would fit perfectly with other movies of that time such as Remo Williams, Big Trouble in Little China etc. but on a smaller budget. So the CGI for the teleportation was cheesy but it didn't affect the overall enjoyment of the story. Lots of action & a story line that moves along quickly had me cheering for our heroes. Break out the popcorn because we're going back to the...

At first as I watched I thought to myself... man this is cheesy. But after 30 minutes I realized that this is what they were going for. Low budget 80's or 90's theme sci-fi that, although the acting and visuals were low budget, the actual story was pretty cool.

reminded me a bit of back to the future...

5.5

I'm giving this movie a few extra stars as I read some of the other low reviews and they are simply inaccurate. It's about teleportation, not time travel kids. The young leads do a really great job, Sam Jones hilariously chews up the scenery, and John James is a gleefully evil bad guy. It's a movie having fun with an old genre and I throughly enjoyed it. Maybe some of the younger viewers want darkness and irony but I don't. Many of the effects are pretty ropey but that never stopped me from enjoying the "Star Trek" or "Dr. Who" series.

"Do you enjoy being such a sadistic a**hole ?" - "Yes I do"😀 The movie has several good lines for dialogs and monologs, mostly for John James, who delivers greatly (the only one here), but otherwise it is...trash.

Sean Young, most beautiful Replicant of all time, in a sorry role, trying to make the best of it, which is...not much.

John James' (the bad guy) daughter (Kate) is nice to watch and may have a nice future as an actress.

To be fair, after thinking the movie is from the 1980s or early 90s (actually it's from 2020), I thought the director must be either 16, or coming from cheap shows of that era, or simply is an amateur.

Actors can only save a part of a movie, not the whole thing...and if the director is incompetent, a movie is doomed. The director here made mostly C-films, and this is his last one until today. Hopefully it stays that way.

In this case, I have to agree with the low rating of 4. It's not a comedy, not a farce, barely a homage, and it is too brutal for a family movie. There are enough Youtube-only movies on a higher level than this one, even in a professional sense.

But don't get me wrong, if you are missing cheesy action comedies from the 80s, this will give you a warm vintage feeling of a lost era, but ported into 2020, and most certainly it is the right film for you.
