i feel badly for the actor and director of this film who may come across this site comment about it and which be fairly well do for a low budget film . all the criticism about the film be true represent the evil ceo office in an apparent library and the antique computer with outdated floppy and and the fairly wooden act be all valid criticism . but what do we expect and spielberg . lucas . i be sure they could have take this film to great height and but let give it it due . think about it . the plotline be clever . how many way can you go into the past . car and stationary machine and plane . but the future portrayed here be embarrass . frankly and i thought they have go back in time to 1984. surely and they could have do good than that . even in 1994 and people know what type of technology to expect in the near future . why not portray even one laptop . i enjoy the revolutionary war re enactors and but i think a twist of an end would have be cute and and could have salvage some of the film . what if and when they return and everyone have british accent and include the evil ceo of a now british conglomerate . think about it . so and here my director cut of this film represent 1. allow the lead actor to drive a car ( well chase scene ) 2. use a real computer at least use the right size disk 3. cut the ditch bicycle scene ( it only 3 second long ) 4. show a good and more plausible future 5. shorten the bad future scene and and shoot it at night and or in the fog and to make it look really ominous and and 6. make the final scene important ( a i say above ) . until then and my rating be 4 .
