Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

FlashCallahan One minute New York advertising expert Jim Ferguson is at a business party, the next he finds himself way back in 1917 in a plane fight during World War I. Mysterious Mr. Raymond explains to him that he has a time-twin, to whom he's relocated in space and time whenever one of them is in trouble. So he has to help his twin, the titular pilot, in his attempt to destroy a German super weapon, that could win their war. But it's getting harder for Jim to explain his sudden disappearances to his fiancé, DebbieYou have a little respect to a film when the viewer can pinpoint the exact moment in the film where most of the budget went. I'm talking of course, about the helicopter stunt done near London Bridge. You know the one, the one where the man is making strange bodily gestures without actually doing anything.The other reason is that its a standout moment in an otherwise pretty bland film. We have some boring lead being sent backwards and forwards through time, and just as we start to appreciate the titular character, we are rudely sent back to Peter Cushing, who lives in the most expensive place in London, who shows Jim a few old photos and a business card he dropped.The whole film also has an air of desperation about it, like its so desperately trying to be the next Indiana Jones, or the next big franchise, and it just doesn't work. The comedy is too over the top to be funny, supporting characters are pretty boring, and the maguffin is stolen straight from Raiders, the bad army come into possession of a powerful weapon which will make them invincible.I can understand why it has such a cult following, but many cult films were seen through rose tinted specs, and people cannot see just what piffle the film is.And the last scene is begging you to see the sequel.....You dint have to travel in time to see that would never happen....

MARIO GAUCI This had been another childhood viewing; actually, I had owned the computer game it spawned (of which an advert is included among the surprisingly extensive bonus features here – more on this later).The film is an old-fashioned adventure (based on a character, a British air ace of WWI, created by Capt. W.E. Johns) but given modern trappings – by way of the time travel concept (just then brought back into fashion via BACK TO THE FUTURE [1985]), a young American ad executive is transported into the thick of battle and has to aid his so-called "Time Twin", Biggles, in destroying the German forces' secret weapon! While this element may not have been necessary in rendering the war exploits exciting, I guess it was considered safer (especially for American audiences to whom the name Biggles wouldn't mean much) – then again, this makes for some amusing misunderstandings (involving the American's bewildered colleagues or him being chased by police) to go along with the dogfights (incidentally, Biggles has three inseparable buddies and a Von Richtofen-like nemesis); at one point, it's Biggles (played by Neil Dickson, by the way) who's thrown into our times and then takes a modern helicopter back to 1917! Still, the biggest joy of the film is watching Peter Cushing's graceful farewell performance as Biggles' aged superior (not so dignified was his cameo appearance during the accompanying music video for the obligatory theme song, "Do You Want To Be A Hero?"). With this in mind, the film's ill-advised soundtrack consists of cheesy electro-pop rhythms – which, more than anything, betray this as a product of the 1980s! Apart from the expected fillers, the extras contained a number of vintage 'documents' – from an interesting 20-minute featurette (in which Dickson, somewhat bafflingly, states that the film should appeal to fans of such effects-laden blockbusters as GHOSTBUSTERS [1984] and GREMLINS [1984]) to excerpts from TV programs discussing/advertising BIGGLES (to which was added the subtitle "Adventures In Time" for the U.S.) at the time of its release.

Lostoyannaya **Spoiler warning** This movie is the very embodyment of what would happen when an eighties guy is transported back to WW1, commenting on things like nuclear weapons and punk hairdos to the bewilderment of the upper class gentlemens of the war. (I would have like to have seen all of the characters journey to the future, but that would be too much to ask^^).The best part of the movie, undoubtedly, is when Jim is transported into a nunnery wearing nothing but a towel and the nuns mistake him for Jesus -_- I would have to love to have known what was going through the boys' minds when they found him.A lot of people complain about the storyline but I think it's good and relevant. The only thing that irks me is that you never found out who went back and told the Germans to build the sound weapon and so altered time. That would have been a good thing - perhaps even if it was Stalhein himself when he was old.So, all in all, if you want a good time and a not-too-complicated storyline to have on in the background...get this.~~Lostoyannaya

Mike Hackney (alaskan_scout) I've read a lot of the reviews on here and there are some really negatives views of the filmOK so it is a bit tosh, cheesy, the music clashes and the storyline is a bit naff! i mean can a helicopters loudspeaker destroy a massive satellite dish?!?! but not taking anything away from a great film which i thought was thoroughly enjoyable! The music, if somewhat out of place is really catchy. especially the "do u wanna be a hero" song, the action is OK! i like the part when he's firing the machine gun at the Germans in the war, then zooms back to modern day and is shooting at the police! classic!Very enjoyable film i must say
