Strangeness Abounds

This film was not that bad but it would have been better as an episode in an anthology series like the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. Take a slice of Sliders, a bit of Brave New World and a little of the famous Shirley Jackson story "The Lottery" and then you have the concept of this movie. Not bad but not super, though worth a look if re-run on television.

Fascinating Twilight Zone like story

No big cast, directing, cinematography or anything, but a fascinating Twilight Zone like movie. Pretty plain looking and acted, but well worth watching.

Like a very long episode of "Sliders" but entertaining

Parallel universes, this is the way of "Sliders". This TV movie was very well done with relatively good attention to details. This movie is worth watching as many "B" series or TV movies are. Many aspects of the movie were left undeveloped and that prevents us from really feeling what it would be like.

I enjoyed it - bit cheap but has some faces that are nice to see

It's a fun story - nothing harsh - nothing overly smart

Just a fun afternoon movie with a cute ending.

Well worth a watch.

Not a movie to current standards mind - felt older than it actual is.

A precursor to SERIES 7!

When I heard the plot outline of the new SERIES 7: THE CONTENDERS movie, I remembered this little t.v. movie. There's a similar game show in the film, but it's more a story about not being able to go back and rewrite your life. A very unique tale for an unhyped television movie, but well-done and quite entertaining. Had some nice surprises and solid performances by everyone involved.
