I like it

I can't decide whether we were meant to take this film seriously or not. Nevertheless, it seems to be a reasonable representation of what many people think happened.

The Philadelphia Experiment is one of those things that keeps surfacing in so many different ways that one is inclined to think there might be some grains of truth in it. If you take away the conspiricists and the UFO people, the story doesn't go away. Something happened.

This movie is quite endearing simply because it was done so badly. It had just the right amount of ineptitude applied to it to propel it solidly into the so-bad-it's-good basket. Somehow, the wooden acting and cheesy effects doesn't stop you from really caring about the characters, and maybe even thinking that something like this might have really happened.

If it makes you think, then it's done its job beautifully.
