Clockmaker

Let's get this one on the bottom 100 list as a tribute to its badness. It has everything, cheap special effects, a flimsy plot (That's actually very believable if you happen to be 12 years old) and WAY over-the-top acting. Yep, this movie has it all. The only thing missing is a bad dub for Chinese.

Wow, 10 line minimum comment line? OK.. Here goes. The child actors actually do a good job with what they've been given for an excuse for a script, however it's actually the adults in the screenplay that camp it up to the point of stinkdom on the level of a nursing home after a cabbage dinner. ....

*Flicks cigar* Build me a computer!

Three slum kids snoop in apartment of eccentric clockmaker neighbor and manage to screw up the space-time continuum, so they have to go back in time to 19th century and set things right. Basic premise, that a computer manual accidentally lost in 1880 would lead to a premature electronic revolution and the triumph of fascism, seems more than slightly far-fetched. (If you lost a pocket calculator among a group of Neandertals, would they invent double-entry bookkeeping?) Filmed in Bucharest, with North American leads. Heroine Katie Johnston looks about 15 but quite mature to be hanging around with the two 12-ish boys, but will certainly give younger male SF fans something to check out. Written by frequent Full Moon scripter Benjamin Carr.

I just rented this from Redbox. I love it when they find obscure moves from 10 or more years ago to add to the bunch.

Noooo, this is not a great movie. But considering the budget, it's acceptable. One of those Afterschool Specials.

It teaches good lessons for KIDS and kids may not be the ones reviewing it. I am over 50, but can see the wisdom over substance.

Don't be so nosy, don't touch stuff that is not yours, keep your wits about you and use your noggin to get out of the mess you caused.

Just make sure you watch it with your Dr. Who glasses on. LMAO.

Have fun!

Well nobody else has commented on it so I might as well. This movie is just plain annoying. The camera swoops and dives, the characters are stupid, and the plot is stupid. Not to mention the very un-special effects. I won't recount this movie, but I will warn you to avoid it. Unless, like me, you are a fan of crap cinema, don't even think about it. If you are, than at least have a couple of friends over and make fun of it.

Found this on Amazon Prime and sat down to watch it with the kids. They gave up before it was half way through. A combination of cheap special effects, low production values, attrocious acting (mostly from the adult cast) and a convoluted yet boring plot make this one of the worst family films ever. Amazon seem to have a large collection of this sort of thing in their vaults. Where do they find them and why do they bother looking??? Do your kids a favour and give this a big miss.
