Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Scott LeBrun Michael Rennie of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" fame stars as Garth A7, a cyborg sent by a future civilization back to 1966. His mission is to make sure that the revolutionary "radio-telepathy" technique being engineered by Professor Marx (Eduard Franz, "The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake") does not come to fruition. The thing is, in the future, this technique will be misused by evil minds and bring out about chaos. Once he is back in the past, Garth gets scientists Carl Zellar (Warren Stevens, "Forbidden Planet") and Sharon Mason (Karen Steele, "Ride Lonesome") to help him out, while being hunted by assassins dubbed "Tracers".If this premise sounds familiar, it should: it was also utilized around this time by Harlan Ellison, as an episode of 'The Outer Limits' titled 'Soldier'. Of course, it would eventually be appropriated again, famously, by James Cameron for "The Terminator". While this ultimately upbeat diversion is nowhere near as atmospheric or grim as Camerons' film, it's certainly a reasonable bit of entertainment. Its obvious low budget and TV movie-like nature will inevitably invite descriptions like "cheesy". It does get positively goofy when, at one point, Zellars' daughter (Sherry Alberoni, "Nightmare Circus") and her friends (including a young John Beck of "Rollerball") groove to some hip tunes while he's trying to perform an operation on Garth. Various people get zapped by Garths' odd weapon, which really does no more than paralyze living things, rather than kill them. The music, while credited to Paul Dunlap, seems to consist of stock cues (such as one memorably used in "Night of the Living Dead"). Franklin Adreon (a TV veteran whose theatrical credits also include stuff like "Panther Girl of the Kongo") directs capably, if not stylishly.The cast gives a straight faced go at this material. Rennie is good as a character committed to being ruthless in pursuit of his goal, yet who might just find some humanity after all. Wendell Corey ("Rear Window") is a sheriff, Harry Carey Jr. ("3 Godfathers") a pesky reporter, Adam Roarke ("Hells Angels on Wheels") Corey's deputy, and Jo Ann Pflug ("MASH") appears fleetingly at the outset as one of the people sending Garth on his way.Lightweight and unmemorable stuff, yet it does show one a decent enough time, and should be interesting to see for fans of cult science-fiction.Six out of 10.

Leofwine_draca This is a pretty rare example of a low-budget '60s sci-fi movie, complete with all of those technological gadgets which look incredibly laughable and dated these days. In a film where homing devices turn out to be compasses and where time machines look like giant spark plugs, you can't fail to laugh and have a good time. Sadly, what could have been a nice and tight little thriller turns out to be a tacky affair, unable to overcome a low budget and one which ends up just being disappointing.Once you get over the initial disappointment that this isn't going to be very serious entertainment, I'm sure you'll find yourself enjoying the supreme '60s nature of the film, complete with dodgy laser guns (beams drawn on the film, no less), silly silver space suits and a lively score which appears to have been used in a number of other movies since. Michael Rennie finds himself typecast as the cyborg visitor from the future, basically playing the same kind of "stranger" character as he did in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and it is sad to see him reduced to running around in a space-suit while shooting people with ray guns.Rennie is supported by Karen Steele - an incredibly irritating dumb blonde - and Wendell Corey, who made a living for himself doing these kinds of films and television shows. Elsewhere, a quartet of overage teenagers enjoy themselves by grooving in some snazzy attire - and while there, why not check out their unintentionally hilarious dialogue, which even outdoes I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF for sheer cheesiness! Sci-fi fans may well notice that the plot bears more than a passing resemblance to that of THE TERMINATOR, and this was an obvious influence on that film. One more thing - if you want to see something really funny, check out the two killer cyborgs from the future - Arnold Schwarzenegger they are not! Instead, they look like two camp joggers out on a night-time run, and are some of the funniest characters ever to appear in a movie.

Adromeda_girl funny thing this movie.it repeats on the space channel a lot, along with another fine b scifi flick "project x", but the funny thing is, whenever it's on, i always fall asleep by the time they have that lame chase on the rooftop of the power plant. that's 3 times now this year i've missed the ending.whatever.how james cameron got away with ripping this thing off is beyond me. but then again, maybe a lot of people removed it from their resumes.

clore-2 Let's see... Michael Rennie plays a cyborg. He is sent back in time by rebels to prevent a scientist from inventing a device that will have an impact upon the future by enslaving mankind. In turn, Rennie is being chased by agents from the future who are intent that he does not complete his mission. A woman in the present day begins to fall for Rennie. Sounds awful familiar to me. The music, as noted by the other comment, will have you rolling, it's from Saturday morning cartoons, you're almost expecting that Hanna-Barbera sound effect when someone starts running. Still, the movie has an above average cast for its low-budget, Michael Rennie, Karen Steele, Eduard Franz (the Jonathan Drake of "Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake"), Harry Carey, Jr., Warren Stevens (Forbidden Planet), Wendell Corey, and even future M*A*S*H star and Mrs. Chuck Woolery, Jo Ann Pflug can be glimpsed.
