Alistair1918

I was expecting the usual American rubbish with the fake British accents thrown in for good measure but I was pleasantly surprised. OK it was unrealistic but all time travel films are unrealistic (how could you go back if you could kill your own parents etc.). However having overlooked this and the fact a British soldier transported from WW1 happens to land in LA and not outer Mongolia, where presumably there are no audience dollars, it is almost credible. The Yorkshire accent is good and the reactions of the Americans he meets are just about believable too. I also liked the concentration on a good plot rather than special effects and furthermore give the producers credit for mostly eschewing the woke agenda and not risibly shoe horning in some fictitious ethnic minorities from WW1 to appease the BLM crowd (as the film 1917 did).

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.

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 was looking for time travel movies and this isn't one really. Its easily watchable with natural acting and virtually no special effects. There is a feel good factor throughout but you always fear the worst outcome .

I appreciate its not for everyone , but it cost peanuts to make so for me it kept me watching so I rate it highly
