Alistair1918

This is one of those shaky camera movies. With stilted dialog and not well-thought-out plots. You cannot have "time travel" without a whole (wormhole). But this is too many holes in the plot and the execution.

Someone might think "how can he adapt to technology so quickly?" This is explained in the movie. A cell phone is just a combination of phone and radio which both exist in 1918, etc.

Others may ask why not ask questions of that time to help verify his story? Try asking a teenager where Belize is.

Alistair (Guy Birtwhistle) gets blown out of 1918 France to today (2016) in the U. S. He immediately becomes a homeless bum and counts the days accurately for filmmakers that cannot hold the camera still.

All he wants to do is worm his way home. All the filmmakers want to mess with his life and film it. Can the two wants coincide?

Can you stand to watch this slow-moving movie to the end to see if there is any twist or turn? I doubt it.

I found this film oddly comforting. I don't know why or how, but I felt peaceful at the end. The story is completely farcical, or is it? If you have even a basic understanding of relativity and are okay watching low budget 1970's cheesy science fiction...you'll be entertained.

This movie is always viewed from the angle of the camera man... but, it's not hokey and jerky like found footages are known to be. I had never heard of this movie before... and, with me loving the odd, thought impossible, unexplainable topics, I jumped in! I was not disappointed!! It doesn't move along fast, and maybe there's a couple of "say whut?!!" moments, but I found the movie very entertaining and pretty satisfying!! I loved the story, the acting and the emotions it put out there... both between the characters and for myself. Movies don't have to be Oscar winners to have what it takes to entertain and have merit! Just sayin'.....

A wonderful little film...superbly acted, well scripted...makes one want to believe in time travel. Nothing too ambitious, just a small tale very well told...a soldier is launched forward in time, and desperately wishes to get home to a wife he is certain is waiting for him. Although some characters doubt his sanity and veracity, watching this one wants to believe him...all in all a lovely bit of cinema, and one of the few documentary style movies that actually delivers...bravo all...

I've been scorching underwhelming time travel films lately while hoping to find a good one. Finally. All I can say is an emotional thank you to Guy and Annie for this wonderful, sentimental labor of love. And thanks you to those who fell on the fields of France during those terrible years. I will include the three names.....Willie Walton, Robert Birtwhistle, Fred Booth.
