I came by this movie now, that poor Paul Walker died. I found him a very likable guy and a good actor. I decided to watch as many of his movies as I can lay my hand on, to honor his memory. I never heard anything about this movie, and its by no means a good one. Some of the actors (the dad and love interest of Walker especially) turn in laughable performances, the plot is very thin, and the science of it is not very well explained or sound.
First they say, you need clear space to use the teleport thingy, than a guy teleports in the middle of the woods surrounded by trees. Than the whole beginning with the guy, who appears in the desert...How can he appear in the desert if all the teleport thingy does is gets you back to the machine in the present? Also if he had misaligned veins and bones (as they make a point to mention specifically) how could he live? If your veins is not in the right place you will die from internal bleeding...
BUT these all doesn't matter. I quickly sunked into a mind frame, that I am watching a totally enjoyable B-movie, and I looked at it as that, and nothing more. I loved building castles from bricks and legos and pretending to fight around it with my toy knights when I was little. And I loved my shiniest armored knight toy to rescue the lady of the tower in the end...And this is precisely that in a movie, so my inner child was absolutely entertained :) Plus the white knight who gets the lady in the end is played by Gerard Butler, who I simple ALWAYS enjoy watching kicking butt....
I am the first to admit I am VERY biased toward this movie, I can not review it objectively, BUT i can surely say: if you were like me and as a kid you enjoyed playing sieges and stories about knights and ladies of the castle, than this movie will not disappoint you :)
