Product Description

Amazon.ca

Star Wars meets A Wrinkle in Time in this dimension-hopping adventure of an intergalactic war and one unassuming young man who holds the key to dimensional travel, a legacy of his mysterious adventurer father. Boyish Josh Charles is the lucky Luke Skywalker stand-in, a good-natured underachiever shocked out of his lovelorn moping when gorgeous guerrilla fighter Andrea Roth takes the battle to his bedroom. Rutger Hauer is the coffee-chugging freedom fighter roused from retirement to fill out the trio and face dimensional mob boss Stuart Wilson to settle the fate of the universe. This obviously low- budget picture makes the most of limited special effects and striking settings--notably an elevator ride that turns into a free-floating mind-game hanging in space and a knockdown, drag-out finale that sends our hapless hero popping up all over the universe. Hauer makes for a surprisingly charismatic mercenary turned father figure and Charles turns out to be modestly charming, once he loses the smart-ass wisecracks. Though it reaches for a scope that's beyond its means, it remains an entertaining bit of sci-fi fluff. --Sean Axmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars Good adventure/action flick May 8 2004
Format:VHS Tape
Rutger Hauer has never been in a bad film as far as I know, at least not all bad. This is another good one. Here, he plays his usual character: tough, laconic, and always with one more surprise waiting.

It's a "save the universe" adventure with a mystical/magical accent. There's a baffled good guy - even his mother keeps him in the dark. There's a mysterious babe who recruits him into he knows not what. There are bad guys who pop up in surprising places, and this movie's places are more surprising than most. And there's Rutger. His presence is pretty much a guarantee of quality entertainment.

This film shows good workmanship throughout, good effects without going to excess, and good choreography in the bloodless fights. If you're looking for fine art or deep philosophy, you're looking for something this film never meant to give. This is an action movie, that's all. With Hauer, it's a very good action movie. Enjoy it accordingly.

4.0 out of 5 stars don't expect a 6 stars film ! Dec 14 2002
By Vlad
Format:DVD
Do not expect a 6 stars film . This is not a " Fifth Element " or "Total recall ". But how many sci-fi movies are ? If you don't expect too much - a solid 4 stars sci-fi film with a lot of very good visual affects and interesting twists with all kind of dementions mixed up on mother Earth . I did enjoy it and proud to admit it .
A high school kid didn't know that his father was warrior from a Kindom , ruling most of the dementions on Earth . The day came ...and he had to find out his real meaning in this world . And I don't think he was sorry ! If you a sci-fi fan - defenatly check it out .

3.0 out of 5 stars Brings home the bacon Nov 22 2001
Format:DVD
For a B-movie, this was not bad over all. The story was engaging and not total hollywood shlok. While it was no Star trek or 5th element, it was one of the better low buget sci-fi movies. This was more of a B+ movie then just a B-movie. A little bigger buget and maybe this could have gone some where...who knows. Over all I think this is a fun film, and you should give it a try.

I thought this movie was terrible. Low-budget is no excuse for a poor script and acting. I can't believe they got Rutger Hauer to be in this turkey, must have spent the whole... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent low budget movie
This movie is a creative journey through a dimensional war. One of the brightest spots was an excellent performance by Rutger Hauer as a trans-dimensional tough guy. Great flick.
