Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Erik Eriksen Attempting to watch this movie did 2 things... It made me waste 80 minutes of my life that could have been used for something totally useless... and it wasted the $3 I paid for the DVD in the "bargain" bin. Having a civilian streetwalker "in charge" with the authority to go "nuclear" is just 1 blip on the idiocy meter, constant CGI "disintegrations/absorbtions (depending on the character) leaves one wondering "HUH"? why did he get absorbed and they get disintegrated... It is not often I get riled up about my wasting time, or wasting nominal amounts of cash, unfortunately, this movie did just that. I'd rather watch GALAXINA (yuckkk...)

michelvega I've seen a lot worse than this movie. It's sort of a remake of the old movie of the same name which was definitely better and more engaging. Still, it's visually gorgeous to see the destroyer fall from the sky. To add my own cliché to the movie's, I'd say they built them destroyers well in those days. Unfortunately, the movie is marred by the usual government killers trying to hush the whole thing down with bullets, which is ridiculous when the famous ship happens to fall down on the roof of a skyscraper in the middle of Chicago. It would have been nice to see a movie without this military idiocy let loose. Don't we have enough already in the real world? They could have done a better story with this but decided to go with the tried and wrong. Of course I knew from the start that the bad guys (and girl) would be dealt with and that the good guys (and gorgeous blonde)would make it through. The action is constant, though tedious at times. But we have one of the greatest inventions of all time: a remote with fast forward speed command.That helps wasting time faster. Still, I give it a 6. I have a strange nostalgia for old warships, even if I've never been on one.

shinieris-34-218575 This movie is something that you want to enjoy when there's nothing better to do.Terribly poor plot. There is of course the rising action, the climax and the ending. The movie started nicely, but the plot became terrible afterwards.Absolutely flat characters. This does not need to be said. The good guys were good guys from start to finish, which is okay, in a way. But the antagonist is the absolute bad guy (girl) from start to finish, even not even learning from earlier mistake, yet making an even bigger mistake. That is stupidity. I wonder if the scriptwriter is a 12 year old boy who watched the original Philadelphia Experiment and is related to the producer.Extreme government idiocy at its absolute impossibility. Okay, so cluster bombs don't work, it magnifies the destruction 10 times greater, destroying the strike crafts and causes it to teleport above a nuclear reactor, destroying a whole area while dealing not a single scratch on the ship. So then, you ordered a nuclear bomb to be dropped on the shielded ship instead, totally ignoring the fact that the destruction will be amplified 10 times greater.What, the government has no problem destroying the whole United States and Canada/Mexico? She is a high ranked employee of a defense contractor company with direct phoneline to the President of the USA. A person like that does not get that position and that level of trust if she is stupid and illogical. There is a difference between bullheaded and illogical, this is stupidity. What's more stupid is the scriptwriter who made everyone else feel stupid.All in all, this is more entertaining than most, but still a terrible movie. The only reason that I'm giving it a 3, is because I like the acting and the pacing of the movie. Everything else sucks. If you're thinking of having some brainless fun, sure, go for it.Leave your brain at the door.

mikevonbach Decent remake of the 1984 film mainly just takes the basic plot and takes it into a new direction so those who loved the original movie and its love story can rest easy. In this version, a government agency is doing work on the original Philadelphia Experiment when something goes wrong and the ship Eldridge ends up floating around in time. The sole survivor (Nicholas Lea) ends up getting off the ship in 2012 and teams up with his granddaughter (Emilie Ullerup) to try and find out what's going on and how to stop it. I actually thought that the first hour of this film was better than anything in the original movie but sadly the final thirty-minutes start to go overboard but in the end we're still left with a fairly impressive movie and especially considering it aired on SyFy. What I enjoyed most about the first half is simply the confusion of the Bill Gardner character as he tries to figure out what went wrong in the 1943 experiment and how it has gotten him placed in 2012. I thought the early scenes between him and his granddaughter were quite entertaining and I thought the action scenes that followed with the two were well directed. The problem happens when the super secret government people start to show up with murder in their eyes and this is when the first loses its brain and fall off track. I'd say the superhuman powers that Gardner receives is also something that didn't work too well. I thought both Lea and Ullerup were extremely good in their roles and their performances made the film all the more enjoyable. Malcolm McDowell has a quite cameo but is a lot of fun and the original star Michael Pare is also on hand here so that should thrill fans of the 1984 film. I had just watched the original film days before this one and I said that the material was so strong that it really needed a bigger budget to fully capture everything it could. That didn't really happen with this movie as there's still something better that could come from the material but this here is still worth
