    what had potential ended up in a cheap mess

    Like the rest of 2020, this has become a mess of gigantic proportions

    it had potential, but lost track of where it was going - and with a cast that has little to no spark on screen, lousy effects, poor development, lost story, boring props and no sountrack to blend in to make this any more interesting...this just drags on far too long

    if the timing was cut and it even had remotely interesting dialog and some thought given about advancements in the future, this could have been interesting - instead it was a bore which dragged on longer than it needed to be - and with the lack of budget to sustain anything that was needed, the basic design of the story made it a total drag to sit through

    I wasn't looking for the next Star Trek or Star Wars, but when the poster is more impressive than the film, then there's a serious problem

    hopefully your next effort is more entertaining, more thought put into it - and a bigger budget with stuff that makes it interesting

    for a future world, this is less interesting than the stone age - and for all the advacements of travel, they have next to nothing for living - less than a jail cell

    and that is where it all falls apart...more than the tiring story

    Great ideas, but....

    "Escape 2120" tells the tale of Dave, a young man who had lost his parents, and was looking to escape his life. He wins a competition with his prize of helping two scientists with their experiment in time travel.

    The story has great ideas, in both who to travel through time, and what the world would be like in the distant future.

    Unfortunately, the movie was very slow moving, with a number of the concepts, not very well explained.

    Too much time was spent on dialogue, and not enough on exploring the world of the future.

    I did like the Doc - who seemed to be a cross between Doc Brown (Back to the Future) and Max Headroom.

    With a bigger budget, this movie would have had the potential to be very impressive and entertaining.

    I did watch this movie till the end, but it was a struggle.

    Bad

    This movie is awful. Mostly because of bad acting. Not the young female actor but basically everyone else. I almost wish I would have read the book. The movie has great premise but needs most of the characters recast

    Good idea destroyed by one character.

    The movie has a good storyline. Too bad it wasn't done with a higher budget. Edward Pritchard plays David, a real boring young man who travels to the future. There he meets Nalia, a cute girl from the future. Sounds interesting, right? Wrong.

    I made it to the point where a character named Samuel appears. Samuel is played by David Afflick. After a few minutes of Samuel, I stopped watching. I could feel my brain cells dying, and I didn't want to risk my health any further. This character would have great in the movie "Troll 2."

    There should be a documentary made about this character. I want to see the director actually say, "... and cut. Good job, David" after one of Samuel's scenes. Fascinating.

    • Trivia
      "Escape 2120" is based on the novel "The Magician's Horses" by Brian Bennett.
    • Goofs
      When Doc sets the timer for the trip, he enters 52,594,560 seconds. This is only 608 days, or about 1 year 8 months, not the 100 years he was planning to travel. It is very unlikely someone of his background would make such a mistake.
