dreary and flatly direct and the philadelphia experiment be a disappointing lump base on a supposedly true story in which sailor michael pare and bobby di cicco be transport from 1943 to 1984 during a radar test . could be intrigue . isn not . the plot unfolds so slowly and and be direct with so little style and that it of practically no interest . a pare get close to find how he end up in 84 thing pick up a little but those development be skip over pretty quickly in favour of a conclusion fill with crummy visual effect . pare inject a little charisma into an otherwise duff cast that include nancy allen in full on plank mode .
