The Time Travelers
“Step Through”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 53, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A laboratory portal gives scientists access to a devastated future and a remarkably busy robot workshop. The small-scale effects show real ingenuity, while the final complications turn a simple excursion into a much stranger temporal problem. A good retro pairing for viewers who enjoy looking closely at practical tricks.
