Captivating movie !

The acting in this movie is really good.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Okay so i got this movie when i was REALLY young. My parents loved to buy me old sci-fi and monster movies such as godzilla and gamera when i was a kid. So i have a huge appreciation for old sci fi movies. Especially sci fi b-movie's and that is what this is.This is not a movie i would suggest to anyone looking for a quality piece of cinema.But if you have an appreciation for low budget , poorly shot and written movies this is the one for you. There are points in the movie that are so confusing that i have NO CLUE what they are talking about. It seems like the writers were just like how possibly confusing can we make this. AH HAH!! Long sequences with massive amounts of dialoge with large words that can some how relate to science!! Its a good movie to fall asleep to as well.

I have to comment that the ONLY redeeming visual aspect of this movie is Poupee Gamin... just don't listen to her speech on her species and how humanity's only hope is for them to warn the past about how war kills.The movie is filled with useless and repetitive scenes. So far this is the most redundant movie I have ever seen. The characters are complete idiots! Were the poor folk of the 60's deprived of good writers! They could have made this movie 100% better if only they would have re-written the script! A good story can at times make up for horrid special effects and appalling props.Should you watch this movie? Of course, you can then see how fun and easy it is to make your own home movies! Grab the wife and kids and a few neighbors and you too can make your own low budget re-make of Journey to the Center of Time (1967) ... and please, send me a copy :)

In the future all doors slide - this is a given fact of all SF movies from the days of Flash Gordon (possibly before that, it's a while since I've seen Metroplis) but this piece of junk goes one better than having the standard elevator sliding doors... the door of the "Time Vault" opens vertically as well as horizontally! it's the grooviest SF movie door since the The Monster from Morbius' Id came through the 'Krell metal' door in Forbidden Planet. I wonder where they stole it - because more time, effort, and invention went into making that door than into the whole of the rest of the movie put together and believe me it's the only reason to watch this really stupendously awful film.Having said all that I am giving it a 9 because it deserves more recognition as a classic bad SF film. It is up there with the Ed Woods. If you are in the mood for a masochistic do-it-yourself trepanning /lobotomy type movie then this is the one for you. It's great. I have drool coming from the corners of my mouth. Why do I do this to myself?

If I had seen this movie at the theater, I would have wanted my money back. Unless it was at the Drive-In, then the windows would have been too fogged up to see the movie. And by then, who cares what movie is playing...Apparently, this movie was made by a ten year old kid, with his Dad's Super 8 Bell & Howell camera, and a budget of less than $100.00. It appears to have been written by his five year old brother.The only saving grace about this movie is that I bought it as a two-pack with "Things to Come", with Raymond Massey. I love the Style Modern (re: 1960's "Art Deco" look) of the movie.Speaking of the 1960's (this was made in 1967), the women's hairstyles are so...groovy.
