First of all, I didn't expect much from this going into it, which helps with this sort of thing. I was pleasantly surprised.
It's all a matter of expectation. I used to browse the sci-fi sections of the video stores back in the 90s trying to find anything decent and this move was better than a LOT of what I watched back then.
It's better than all of these similar-themed movies I watched back in the day: - Survivor (1987) - Nightfall (1988) - Def-Con 4 (1985) - Cherry 2000 (1987) - Cyborg (1989) - maybe not too much better than this one, but a little.
I would put in on about the same level of cheesy sci-fi action fare as:
(well maybe not as good as the last one)
Seriously though, if you don't expect much of this, you'll probably be entertained.
Overall, I would describe it as a pretty decent Sci-Fi time waster.
And to reference other commenter's' mentions of Morlocks, this movie is WAY better than the Guy Pierce/Jeremy Irons, The Time Machine (2002)!
If you are interested in another Chuchran/Lyde collaboration, The Curse of the Dragon Slayer (2013) is also a pretty decent 80s style fantasy/sword & sorcery flick.

- pretty good action
- pretty good low-budget special effects
- plot moves along pretty well without too many lags
- good make up effects
- lots of gorgeous southern Utah scenery
- strong lead performances by Chuchran and Sorbo
