Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A test pilot overshoots his own century and finds a future urgently interested in his reproductive potential. Edgar G. Ulmer gives the small production striking angular spaces; the earnest time-travel explanations and generic mutant crisis are the campier attraction.
