It's just great to watch so many people get together and try so hard to make a "good movie". All I can say is I'd like to build a time machine and go back to the premieres of these types of flicks as everyone must have had a good time. "Shakespeare in the Park" actors and just fun to watch. You don't need $100 million worth of CGI to keep you watching and being entertained. The music is key to the intensity!!! Stock footage of god knows what as well. Definitely 100% watchable under the proper conditions. Would make a good "bad drive in movie" list. As I've read elsewhere, cool "sci fi" doors on the time travel vessel and elevators (if bizarrely slow to open/close). Throw in the JO boss we've all have/had or remember from 60's/70's TV and cheers.

Okay so i got this movie when i was REALLY young. My parents loved to buy me old sci-fi and monster movies such as godzilla and gamera when i was a kid. So i have a huge appreciation for old sci fi movies. Especially sci fi b-movie's and that is what this is.This is not a movie i would suggest to anyone looking for a quality piece of cinema.But if you have an appreciation for low budget , poorly shot and written movies this is the one for you. There are points in the movie that are so confusing that i have NO CLUE what they are talking about. It seems like the writers were just like how possibly confusing can we make this. AH HAH!! Long sequences with massive amounts of dialoge with large words that can some how relate to science!! Its a good movie to fall asleep to as well.

In the future all doors slide - this is a given fact of all SF movies from the days of Flash Gordon (possibly before that, it's a while since I've seen Metroplis) but this piece of junk goes one better than having the standard elevator sliding doors... the door of the "Time Vault" opens vertically as well as horizontally! it's the grooviest SF movie door since the The Monster from Morbius' Id came through the 'Krell metal' door in Forbidden Planet. I wonder where they stole it - because more time, effort, and invention went into making that door than into the whole of the rest of the movie put together and believe me it's the only reason to watch this really stupendously awful film.Having said all that I am giving it a 9 because it deserves more recognition as a classic bad SF film. It is up there with the Ed Woods. If you are in the mood for a masochistic do-it-yourself trepanning /lobotomy type movie then this is the one for you. It's great. I have drool coming from the corners of my mouth. Why do I do this to myself?

If I had seen this movie at the theater, I would have wanted my money back. Unless it was at the Drive-In, then the windows would have been too fogged up to see the movie. And by then, who cares what movie is playing...Apparently, this movie was made by a ten year old kid, with his Dad's Super 8 Bell & Howell camera, and a budget of less than $100.00. It appears to have been written by his five year old brother.The only saving grace about this movie is that I bought it as a two-pack with "Things to Come", with Raymond Massey. I love the Style Modern (re: 1960's "Art Deco" look) of the movie.Speaking of the 1960's (this was made in 1967), the women's hairstyles are so...groovy.
