Ulmer manages to offer a compelling shot here and there, and the story contains several intriguing ideas. Go to Full Review

1/5
A prime example of low-budget mid-century cheese, more valuable now as an artifact of that era than for any supposed entertainment value it might have possessed in 1960. It can only be enjoyed ironically. Go to Full Review

Not really good, but such a fascinating no-budgeter that it's mesmerizing. Go to Full Review

The cardboard sets and flat acting and primitive story line reminded me of the '50s Captain Video TV program I got a kick out of watching as a kid. Go to Full Review

Leia R Mar 16, 2019 This movie really tried to be a good movie, but it just does not quite get there. The story is a classic time traveller story, pilot accidently goes forward in time, discovers a dying civilisation and tried to go back in order to save it. Unlike many movies of this type the plans do not go the way its expected and there is a good twist at the end. The issue is the acting, which is average at best. Making the female love interest a mute was probably an error as well. If you like sci-fi time travel stories this will be a good watch, if not you may be better off not watching this. See more
Ron R Dec 26, 2018 Low-budget scifi has imaginative sets and an intelligent script.
Draco W Feb 7, 2017 Dull Edgar G. Ulmer ripoff of George Pal's classic film adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine." A test pilot returns to earth after testing out an experimental aircraft and finds himself in a future where the world has been destroyed by cosmic radiation. Cheap sets, no stars, dull script (though the basic premiss isn't bad), but director Ulmer does bring some visual flair here and there and that's enough to save the cheap production from being awful.
