Timestalkers Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
vsswift Loved it in that 'Spaceballs' sort of way. Super cheesy, but entertaining. Lots of really cliché lines. You will laugh, squirm at the awkwardness, and if your a child of the 80's have a bit of nostalgia. Don't take it too seriously. Actually, it would probably make a really great drinking game now that I think about it.... 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Ten lines of text, there you go IMDb (who made up that quota "10 lines of text" -- also I'm keeping my heading as Cheeseballness!one two three, your requirements to post reviews suck, four five, six, congratulations after this I will never use IMDb again. Am I to ten lines yet?
lost-in-limbo Time travelling with a gun slinging Klaus Kinski and western memorabilia nut William Devane? I won't have it any other way. "Timestalkers" is a playfully modest little made-for-TV production that's full of warmth and covers an interestingly ambitious concept.The story follows Professor Scott McKenzie (William Devane), an old western memorabilia collector discovers in a photograph from 1866 a 20th century .357 Magnum revolver in the hands of a cowboy (Klaus Kinski). Scott soon starts questioning the possibility of time-travel and writes a paper on it. Then strangely a lady appears who claims that she believes him and he soon discovers that she's a time-traveller too. She wants him help her find out why this time-traveller has gone back to the old-west and eventually stop him from changing the face of history.Early on the plot moves back and forth between the past and present. Some of the items that Devane's character looks at or purchases at an auction have a history that involves the magnum-toting gunman. Some foreseeable plot-holes creep in, but it's inventively told and works well with its collective gimmicks. The chintzy special effects create some charm, and so does the cheesy igniting sparks cutaways. The uncanny music is whimsically scored. There's a nice sense of humour in the script. Devane gives a winning performance and Kinski's glazed turn offers that venomously cold tinge. Lauren Hutton is fetchingly palatable. John Ratzenburger and Forest Tucker pop in with fun support parts. It looks cheap, but it's actually better than its limitations allow it to be. A smart, enjoyably harmless sci-fi yarn.
Miles-10 Hate to be a naysayer--No, actually, I don't--but this is a laughable time-travel story. The gimmick of coming up to a fence, going back in time to before the fence was built, crossing the future perimeter, then returning to the present, is a ridiculous waste of time-travel energy. However, the fact that the good guys don't go back in time to warn the general about his killer does not bother me. As Robert Silverberg proved in his great time-travel-novel-cum-thought-experiment, "Up The Line," if you try to go back five-minutes to change what just happened--and you fail--you will only get into more trouble, especially if you run into yourself five minutes ago! A plain silly, highly implausible movie. Nobody's performance is their best. (And I do like Lauren Hutton.) A much better movie is "Back to the Future 3"--or, for that matter, any of the three BTTF movies.
flange William Devane is the greatest cheese actor in the entire world. i got so excited after i found out he was going to be in THE HOLLOWMAN that i bought a ticket straight away. TOP CLASS CHEESE! JAMES CAMERON
