Out of Time

This is not a big budget sci-fi production and if you can get past the cheesy time travel effect at the movie's begining and hang on though some rough dialog until the two lead characters meet and begin interacting for a bit you might be pleasently surprised as well. Their relationship is the movie and it's not like you won't notice the rough edges, that's completely impossible, but at some point you will stop caring and just enjoy these two to a satisfying ending.

It's not a completely original story; it starts out almost exactly like The Hidden (1987), only with three bad body-hopping aliens pursued by one time-traveler posing as an FBI agent, along with a reluctant local cop who has to be convinced these are aliens, instead of one bad body-hopping alien pursued by one good body-hopped alien posing as an FBI agent, also along with a reluctant local cop who has to be convinced, etc. (Also note that the FBI agent here is named "Cooper," which was Kyle MacLachlan's character's name in "Twin Peaks"; MacLachlan played the FBI agent in The Hidden.) Also, the idea of a time-traveling good-guy and/or cop from the past chasing one or more bad guys into the future was used in the movie Time After Time (1979), among others, and more recently in the TV series Continuum (2012-15), and probably a few others whose titles I can't remember.

That said, it's a good movie, considering the low budget. The supporting cast could be better, but the two main characters are well-acted enough. The special effects and dialogue are probably the biggest weaknesses, and there are plenty of cliches involved, but overall it's worth seeing, and maybe even fun in spots.

OK I appreciate that some of these reviews are from members of the cast, and that it's not a 9 star movie. Honest review - The acting is generally pretty bad, that said, last acting I did was in the nativity play over 40 years ago, so who am I to judge. It might be the script that makes the actors seem Hammy which is more than possible as some of the dialogue is atrocious but I agree with some reviewers that if you get past 12 minutes it's not that bad. I think the ideas shown in this movie are great, the film just needs some heavy polishing.

I saw the rating on IMDB, and decided to check this movie out. Acting was good, and the storyline intriguing. Kept my attention throughout.

Okay, this was definitely a B movie, but it was kind of fun. The leads were okay, but the rest were not great actors. If you have nothing else to watch, go for it.
