For a free movie on a Sunday night it was pretty good. Remember the B-Movies of the 80's - well you're not going to pay 14 bucks a ticket to see a movie like this in the 2000's, so the Sci-Fi channel is good enough to produce and show it for us, and I'm grateful for that.
Lets face it, any time travel movie has more holes in the plot than a cheese grater, and this was no exception.
I've read people bashing the special effects.....they are no worse or better than most of these types movies, namely the "dinosaur" running around. But there were some good ones as well, like when the "transport" goes horribly wrong. Explosions, crushed cars, not too bad.
Greg Evigan (alias BJ without the Bear) is a great actor and he barely rolled out of bed for this role....seriously. I thought he was going to be the main actor. The "Family Ties" dad played a good scientist, I'd like too see him in a lot more roles like that, even on the big screen, I didn't have a problem with him as well.
Reno - the real main character, at least since his introduction 1/2 way through the movie was OK. I knew him from somewhere and it bugged me till I checked IMDb to see he was the kid from Blue Lagoon. I was glad to see he was still acting.
I think the "writing" could have been better if anything........you had at least 3 experienced "good" actors, yet it was tough to get anything going.
I say, watch it one lazy day when nothing else is happening and you'll enjoy it.
