A United States Navy destroyer escort participates in a Navy "invisibility" experiment that inadvertently sends two sailors forty years into the future.
What should have been a cool mad scientist sci-fi thriller, with the B story romance puttering in the background, instead lets the B story completely take over, putting the main plot on the backburner.
The result is an excruciating slow burn melodrama of Nancy Allen helping Michael Paré in his fish-out-of-water struggle, focusing mostly on their growing romance (romance? Stockholm syndrome, anyone?) in a wannabe character study, intermitently interwoven with small drips from the main story – the one you actually came to see.

A forgotten gem? First time I sae this must have been in the early 2000s. It was one of the earliest DVDs releases we had in sweden. Can't remember it more then I found it pretty good.
But now I saw it again some 20+ years later and wow, I really liked it. Very good movie and should I say I must watch for any sci-fi/suspense fan?
Great movie, I would like to see a remake of this movie even though I usually don’t suggest it, but with new technologies one could make this a blockbuster.
A very interesting concept that never lives up to its potential.
