These days it seems that filmmakers are not short on ideas of how to take an amazingly awesome idea for a movie and turn it into something that deserves to be flushed down the toilet. In fact, I think watching water swirling around in the toilet is more exciting than this movie. I like science fiction. I like time travel. I like the military. I enjoy stories about World War II. And most of all, I am from Philadelphia and I love that city. This movie has all 5 of these things going for it. So why did it suck so much? I would have to say the movie dragged on way too much. This could have been half as long. It just was not exciting. There was not even any interesting dialog. I just did not get any emotions activated at all during this film. It's just so long and boring and dry I cannot really say more than that. I can't fault the writer because the story idea is awesome. It was just so poorly done on so many levels that everyone involved has to share part of the blame. My advice? Stop with the original Philadelphia Experiment. That is an excellent piece of science fiction military film-making. If you waste your time on this film, it's your own dumb fault. I seriously considered giving this film a 1 star rating, but I refrained because I reserve that rating for movies that usually cause me to get angry at myself for watching them. This film's saving grace is that it was a really good idea, just very poorly executed. There were times during the film where I contemplated watching paint dry. But hey, you can always go flush your toilet and watch the water go round and round.
