La dernière minute du monde

A very nice Sci-Fi / Thriller / Comedy / TV film. It is a pity there is no DVD released so far. A time traveling extraterrestrial scientist, Travis Beck, from the future is sent back in time to put a quarter in a meter located in a small town on the edge of the Nevada desert to save the world. What looks like a simple job becomes very complicated. Right from the start things go wrong. Travis Beck materialize naked in front of June Kelly in the desert, twenty miles from the town where he has to be. And he gets unexpected protection by his ex-partner Bill Thermot for such a simple job. Of course there are some romantic / comedy moments between the time traveler and June Kelly and some over the top scenes between Travis Beck and the assassins. In the end, 'When Time Expires' is a very nice Sci-Fi comedy film worth at least a rent.

good scifi. i enjoyed the concept, sure it could have been better, but ... it's not bad, yes, it is no 'alien' or 'starwars', but within its limitations, it was well done.

i tend to suspend reality a little when watching a movie, i am someone who really enjoys movie, so .. i might not be as critical as the next person.

i have been wanting a copy, in DVD, for years now, i caught this on a late nite program, and really enjoyed it. unless one is overly 'picky' i am sure that they will enjoy it, too.

whenever it comes out in DVD, i will get a copy, i enjoyed it that much.

The script is actually very interesting, but the director looked like he didn't care - possibly because his cast was so awkward or the budget was too low. The scenes run a little long too, but maybe it's the guy's first time directing. I have no idea. Overall, I liked it.

Well i was just rooting through a box of videos from a few years ago and came across this film. its raining like hell today and freezing cold, so staying in is the best option with a mug of chocolate! :) The plot is involving and gets you trying to guess whats going on. a few twists here and there. couple of fights with your A-typical redneck town idiots too! it was a nice plain and very watchable film. nothing over complicated and dumbed down, relying on CGI or over editing to keep you entertained. just a film as it should be. After it ended i was left feeling it could have ended a little more slowly, not so abrupt. But still an overall nice film.

Caught this movie on TV and it definitely held my attention. I appreciated the fact that what little violence there was mainly took the form of fistfights. I would have rated it 10, except for the gratuitous and really ridiculous taking of the Lord's name in vain so many times, considering that we're dealing with an organization of advanced planets. Certainly this "federation" of thousands of planets must know Who it is that created those planets. Probably the smarmy Showtime networks idea. So minus two for that. The few special effects there were just reminded me of the low budget original Star Trek. If the story is there, and it is, special effects used judiciously are fine. The beautiful Cynthia Geary is a plus.
