Very Disappointing!

I really like Science Fiction, and time-travel stories in particular. Therefore I had high expectations when I saw Tomorrow Man in the video store. I was VERY disappointed!

The plot was transparently obvious and the writing was wooden at best! Most of the characters were so two-dimensional they could have been cardboard cutouts.

The "time patrol" (or whatever it was called) has lots of potential as a plot device. Unfortunately, none of it was realized in this movie.

Don't waste your time or money!

I Liked It

Give it a chance. It is watchable. If you are 12 don't even start it, it is the type of camp that absolutely repels 12 year old's of all ages. You kinda have to buy into the drama heart strings thing, ignore some of the really campy acting- not real bad, just a competent high schoolish type of acting.

Very low budget but quite an attempt at a complicated script back when it cost actual imagination and film technique instead of todays fair to slick computer fx key punching.

It is a story of redemption with a saccharine sweet ending but not for the kids due to over the top killings (though "clean", like back in the days of 'BANG' and people fall down with some fx, but not overly gory like a real shooting is).

Almost a silly movie in some aspects, think TV show with this one. I gave it a 7 because it is a 4.something and deserves at least a 5.

Good concept, lots of heart, to little budget.

I admit I was skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one however. Watching this movie, I got the impression that the film makers wanted to do much more with the story but were hindered by budget limitations (we are talking about a B-movie here). Corbin Bernson did reasonably well in portraying the troubled father; however Beth Kennedy came up a little short on reflecting any emotion (no shortage of tongue in cheek humor though). The end is touching in a cliché sort of way. I was amused to see the small cameo by Zach Galligan. In the end, I believe that project had great potential but not enough financial resources or production time to flesh out shallow characters and thin story line.

A movie you're gonna like

I liked this movie, it had a great plot and an average direction. Maybe the direction was not that bad, it was a low budget film, therefore maybe that had turned down the chances to be a big hit. Fantasy/Sci-fi friends go for it, others, you're gonna spend a nice evening with it. In overall, 7/10.

Damn Good up there with the best

I saw the cover on the aisle at the video store as i read it I said to myself "another cheap movie" but since i like the "genere" i took it home.

Needless to say I was surprised, it was a clever story. It had a nice atmosphere to it, maybe cause it was done by pros on a very low budget

The storyline was great, the acting was in the pro catagory the direction and production where also in the tops (hey it was not perfect and it was low budget)

What makes this film so good in my opinion is that it tells a time travel story in a new and different way. The science might not be correct (who knows?) But the storytelling is second to none.

This film is much better than Michel Crichton's Timeline" Now theres a dog.

Try to find the tomorrow man and you will love it.
