bizarre and trippy and forget about a story and full steam ahead low budget sci fi about the williams family and living in the california desert . they become witness to a series of event that escalate in their level of strangeness while apparently and they have be catch in a time space warp and where past and present and future collide . this be the excuse for a parade of highly amuse special effect a constant light and sound show and dinosaur like creature that have at each other and a friendly and tiny little e. t. who enchant the granddaughter and and so on . this picture do show off a little imagination and if nothing else . very nice music by richard band and engage special effect work from the like of david allen and randall william cook and and peter kuran and and and importantly and a likable family be key asset . it generate a sense of child like amazement while it may very well be that it more of a romp for kid ( or the kid inside many of u ) who be able to gloss over any flaw in the narrative or presentation . i find it hard to resist while it a short and sweet ( 80 minute ) diversion and and a decent credit for director john bud cardos ( of kingdom of the spider fame ) and executive producer charles band . positive .
