this disillusion tale of time travel be more popularly know a time chaser . it be a tale of good v evil and plaid v pink and chin v ceo . you will laugh and you will cry . but mostly you will just cry . a a standalone and without mst and this film be still one of the funny thing american cinema have leave in a steaming pile on the sidewalk . the only moment that do not induce side splitting laughter be the moment when our be chin hero make an attempt at a joke . then you just rub your temple and moan . a for the cast and it well round on both side . our good guy consist of butt chin nick miller and the scientist cum action star who delight u with his hockey hair and frighten u with his strange face and tempts u with his partial nudity . the heroine and lisa henson and be apparently play by a robot . she display no tinge of emotion so i can only assume the automaton in her role be not yet advance enough to out act the commodore 64 in nick plane . our comic relief be the broken down cousin of bruce springsteen . he constantly asleep or spill coffee and sometimes multitasking by do both at the same time . jim carrey eat your heart out . a for the bad guy and this be where the fun lie . a short fat man in a pink jacket just screams pure evil . he the unwitting sidekick of the true mastermind from hell . yes and j. k. robertson be the epitome of villainy . his strange accent make him not only hard to understand and but hard to take seriously . the muscle of evil co. be the assistant janitor who pound the hell out of our hero before his girlfriend save him with a gutter down pipe . a for the plot and it almost as befuddling a the mere spectacle of nick chin . nick invents a time travel plane and put his science bust work onto 8 floppy disk . he proceed to hand over his life work to the ceo of a fortune 500 company for an undisclosed amount of money . accord to robertson and break the time barrier be worth million . bill gate make more by steal the graphic user interface from xerox . wow and i think nick get low ball . back on track and nick head to the future and a bleak future where kid wear lime green tights and talk on an amazing invention know a the mobile cellular phone . crazy . j. k. soon head to the future with his new plane and where he somehow manage to single handedly cause the apocalypse . and you think y2k be bad . in a series of event and nick and j. k fly back and forth through time try to do something . exactly what they be try to do be beyond our imagination and beyond the budget of this film and so we never really find out . in the end and the most horrible thing possible happens and we end up with 2 nick . god help u all . aside from a cameo by noah emmerich drive a cab and speaking like a mongoloid and the acting be either non existent ( lisa ) or overdone to the point of induce nausea ( nick ) . i can not consciously recommend this film to anyone without the mst crew comment . it give me the trot . without mst this stinker get a very generous negative and with mst it be my single favorite episode and pull out a positive .
