There are big-budget sci-fi films, and there are low-budget sci-fi films, and then there are no-budget sci-fi films, like this one. A big budget won't make a sci-fi movie good (plenty of examples of that), and good writing, acting and imagination can make a low-budget sci-fi film good or even great, but with no budget at all, even great writing and acting won't get you very far past the starting line. Add time travel into that and things get worse. Young orphan Dave helps a genially crazy scientist and his wife travel 100 years into the future, but eventually becomes obsessed with the idea of time travel itself and uses their equipment to travel 100 years into the future; except he accidentally travels 700 years into the future. Nevertheless, the people he meets speak perfect 21st-century English. If someone traveled back from 2020 to 1320's England, the language would be all but incomprehensible. And if you learned one 14-century dialect and then traveled to another part of England 100 miles away, THEIR dialect would be incomprehensible all over again. Furthermore, the micro-organisms - bacteria, fungi and viruses - will have had 700 years to evolve, and most likely Dave would not have immunity to the future strains. He'd get deathly ill. Then there's the disappointing fact that all we see of the future is a small patch of woodland and a hill nearby with a system of caves, with people living in houses fitted with very 21st-century door and table hardware. There is very little action and the dialogue slows to a crawl in places. If you feel like your time on this Earth is limited, and you want to spend it enriching yourself, skip this flick.
