Simply Perfect
Powerful
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Anyone who watches Time Guardian expecting it to be like Star Wars because of Carrie Fisher's presence wiil be disappointed. These are some of the words I've seen in Heessian499's review and I have to say this movie won't be forgotten after's over. Time Runner was really great, too. It's very interesting, because Carrie Fisher's the main female role in this movie and Mark Hamill ( Star Wars ) in Time Runner. I hope that you remember him. He is Carrie Fisher's brother in Star Wars. Sincerelly, yours Dushan Petrovic from Belgrade, Serbia
I'd give it a 4 out of 10, not only because its sci-fi, and made in Australia. But is has a topless scene of Nikki Coghill. Good movies came out in the 80's like Mad Max with Mel Gibson, Turkey Shoot with Lynda Stoner. Time Guardian and these classics came from an era when VCR's were the fashion of the household and watching those science fiction movies, went well with popcorn and beer. This movie was made a number of years after Tom Burlinson's big motion picture role in the movie Phar Lap. I suppose back then production companies in Australia were trying to capitalize on the premise of making loads of money with this new found genre of films.
It has been said that there is a world of difference between a bad movie and a boring movie. The bad movie be enjoyed for what it is, and the further it misses it's intended mark, the more likely it is to become a cult hit. The boring movie is destined for the rubbish bin of film history, to not rate a second thought from the collective conscience.This movie is not boring, but it is very very bad. And that is gold for the lovers of the kitch, seekers of the worst, those who appreciate the fun to had from the truly bad. This movie is FUN.You'll continually ask yourself, "What were Carrie Fisher and Dean Stockwell thinking!!", "What overacting school did Tom Burlingson go to, and why is he always angry?", "Where can I buy those costumes?", "What exactly the hell did they spend their $8 million dollar budget on?" Every Australian lover of "unique" film needs to buy a copy of this movie. They then need to show it to at least 10 friends. This NEEDS to be a cult Aussie movie.In the end this movie is a steamer. But I'll probably watch it many more times than my "Citizen Kane", "Apocolypse Now" or "Casablanca" DVDs.
I have seen Star Wars, I have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, I have seen The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The Things... But I can not safely say that I had seen a movie until I saw the Australian epic, Time Guardian. I can truly vouch for this movie, it was simply phenomenal. I had heard it recommended by dignitaries, ambassadors, presidents, kings, dukes, squires, magistrates, C.E.O.s and of course associates and cronies, but was skeptical until I finally sat down and was swept away by the electric brilliance of this mind boggling, golden film. With an all star cast including Carrie Fisher and some blonde Aussy chick and Peter Merrill, it leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. You will dump your pants. The actors from this film, "Aren't just plumbers that you can bribe to fix your bathroom overnight, they kill to live!!!" and if you don't like this movie, you can't run a DVD player, and, "you probably can't even run a hot bath!" Watch this or your life is a failure!
