Timelock

Well, I went in to this film knowing full well it was no "Star wars" but this was extra cheesy. I love sci-fi movies and hoped this would at lest entertain me for a while. I was wrong. As for the sci-fi part, it was missing. First of all there was no time travail, time warping...nothing to do with time but wasting it. This was not even a B-movie. Saddly, the acting and FX were not so great ether. They stunk. It looks like they filmed it in an old wear house. I don't even remember if I made it to the end of this bomb. This had o be a tax right-off for someone. If you like bombs, or hate your self, then this for you, if not stay away...far away. Run if you have to.

I just saw this movie on DVD. It was very fun for a no budget Sci-Fi movie. I just loved Jeffrey Meek's performance - sleek with a touch of camp - great delivery and killer expressions. I will watch this one again.

This film is not merely watchable, it's genuinely entertaining. It has its flaws. It has many many flaws. It's like someone brought a bag of flaws into the cinema, opened it with too much gusto, and they went EVERYWHERE!

But, like stormtroopers, all of them miss and none of them matter. Despite the best efforts of those flaws, this film is not just watchable, but genuinely entertaining.

All of the actors can act. Not only that, but all of them can act with, at least, a modicum of screen presence; something you almost never see in post-milennial B-movies. Each one is a character acting and each scene is a character comedy vignette. They never quite manage to be laugh out loud funny; but, crucially, they are engaging, and they are able to create convincing chemistry between their characters. It's a solid six.

Gonna chalk this up to good actors (Ayre Gross, Maryam D'Abo, Jeffrey Meek, Nicholas Worth, Martin Kove, etc) blackmailed to be in a student film. Wow.

I found this on a list of bad Sci Fi movies, and with my Bad Movie obsession, and my love of Sci Fi, I had to watch it.

This one is a stinker, though. I don't feel its on the level of an it's so bad it's good movie. It's just mediocre Sci Fi, poor "effects", and just bad acting. Which...is expected when I hunt down these horrible films. But usually there is at least an underlying sense of fun and/or that nice coating of cheese. Timelock doesn't have that extra.

I struggled through this one and lost attention quickly.

Smoke was good, but did nothing to help save this movie. Moving on to the next one quickly!
