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
The fact that someone made this, edited this, previewed this and then as a collective group decided to move forward and release this mess into the universe... further let's me know how incredibly insane people actually are!
The budget had to be like $235, with no payroll and promises of royalties off the sale. Someone is definitely in debt over this mess!
I almost have to believe that crack or some other form of hard narcotics were involved in the decision to fund, produce and direct something of this low caliber.
Looks like it was shot in a high school and the woods behind the high school.
And it is my sincere opinion that the actors had to be utterly ashamed of themselves for even being involved.
All involved should almost certainly and immediately decided to have a career change, and never tell family or friends that they were ever apart of this...

Apparently this was based on a book that was probably a pretty decent story but unfortunately it was not transferred to the screen. The acting is horrendous. It is so bad at points it completely takes one out of the story. Given the gaping plot holes and things that are simply never explained I can only assume entire chapters must have been skipped. As it is, it makes no sense at all. Sad to see someone else's creative vision reduced to a bad high school play.
"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.

Terrible acting. Cheap props and scenery. I felt embarrassed for the actors.

- Trivia"Escape 2120" is based on the novel "The Magician's Horses" by Brian Bennett.
- GoofsWhen 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.
