I did not see this movie until two weeks ago. Now I know why I did not see it in 2002. The story line was the typical guy trying to forget girl and moves on (with some unwanted help) through time encountering one global disaster after another and finally when the rest of the human race is a bunch of pansies our pansy traveler becomes the half hearted macho guy to the rescue. That's another thing about the movie that stinks- pansies don't build time machines! None of the characters were very interesting except for the mutant people eating underground dwellers but that angle has been overdone beyond belief.I guess I was expecting much more and disappointed myself. The story line had far more potential than was allowed. Hopefully nobody is purchasing this movie except from the $1.00 bin at fine retailers everywhere.
