Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a complete turkey of a movie. Complete rip off of other movies.. footage of land chase ripped from BARB WIRE, the warehouse still has HAMMERHEAD on the front, military uniforms ripped from V, and an evil Emperor rip off from Star Wars... Completely predictable, Complete crap... Avoid ,a total waste....

TIME UNDER FIRE is a cheesy straight-to-video sci-fi thriller of the late 1990s, unsurprisingly starring Jeff Fahey as the square-jawed hero. It's an amalgamation of many films which have come previously, a 'greatest hits' package if you will for sci-fi movie buffs.Fahey plays a submarine captain whose ship goes through a portal in time, just like in THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT. When he returns he's treated like a crazy and incarcerated in a mental hospital in scenes copied from TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. Eventually the authorities believe his story and take him back through the portal as part of a commando team; the guys end up in an alternate reality future which has become a dictatorship ruled over by a guy who looks like Emperor Palpatine in RETURN OF THE JEDI.Elsewhere, Bryan Cranston (credited here as Brian) gives a sleepwalking performance as a suit, while Richard Tyson (KINDERGARTEN COP) is the wooden main villain. The film boasts some frankly ludicrous scenes, like the bit where Fahey kills a guard but isn't punished because, you know, he is the hero and all. The ending descends into cheesy sci-fi territory with bits of FORTRESS and STARGATE copied in. The result? Light and laughable, although it's not the worst of its type and at least it isn't boring.

To paraphrase Danny Zucco, when he first saw "Greased Lighting", in the movie Grease: "What a hunk of sci-fi junk!" We've got a time-traveling submarine, powered by baking soda, that somehow time warps through the Bermuda Triangle and emerges in the year 2077--just in time for the Centenary of Elvis's death. The intrepid sub crew is immediately captured by futuristic totalitarian storm troopers and imprisioned in an abandoned rust-belt factory, which doubles as the new Imperial Headquarters of the Holocausted United States of Amerika. The storm troopers that enforce that "duh law" are all dressed in ill-fitting Fahrenheit 451 costumes and seem to bump into each other every few minutes.How did our future come to this? Well children, in the beginning of the 21st century, an incompetent United States President, with a hidden agenda, orders his military to invade and occupy Iraq--with disastrous results. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous that than?

Drab, dreary and a total waste of my time. The plot is incomprehensible (so don't think about it too much). The acting is odd and wooden - I would have sworn that they were all professional body builders trying their luck at acting, but that might be an insult to body builders. There are no interesting special effects to redeem this disaster, but lots of fires, explosions, a gratuitous sex scene, etc. The only thing that caught my attention was that it takes place after a war between the US and Iraq that somehow goes nuclear...hmmm. Is Roger Corman psychic? Let's hope that "Iraq" was just a lucky choice for Corman and that the rest of his scenario doesn't come true.
