A British romantic sci-fi drama; A story about a discovery by scientists about vibrations that can be used to predetermine every aspect of human life; a man and a woman are incompatible but he is determined to prove science wrong. This film is a good example of the primacy of story in filmmaking. In spite of the uninspiring dialogue, unremarkable soundtrack, stilted acting, and its low budget and adequate production values, it comes out as a creditable film. The strength of its intriguing ideas and narrative structure is a credit to sci-fi and it doesn't suffer for the absence of visual and special effects and stunts that many producers resort to in this genre. Eleanor Wyld and Daniel Fraser as the adult lovers remain convincing and charming despite the script. The theme about the machinations of fate makes for interesting viewing but it drags its feet over a rocky conspiracy theory subplot.
