Wow, was this a terrible movie!

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

Any movie that I stop watching halfway through deserves a one ★ from me. The actors couldn't enunciate very well and the dialog was incredibly stupid and childish sounding. I couldn’t tell you right now the names of any of the characters much less the people trying to act the part. Not one of them achieved any emotional attachment with me. The audio was terrible with music often blocking out dialog. The sets were less than B movie sets. The movie just dragged on and on and on with the story never becoming clear. I don't understand if the catastrophe was so bad that it killed all humans why have snakes, birds and insects managed to survive. And they were in the middle of a lava field with full size plants and bushes growing. There is nothing worth watching here so save yourself an hour and a half.

Didn't get hardly any of it.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

From beginning to end this film is a 1973 SciFi disaster. Bad acting and poor annunciation. Lots of hippy speak that didn't really mean much. Spoiled rotten lead girl, who I found I really wanted to see die by the end of the movie. Couldn't tell most of the women apart. They all dressed alike and looked alike. Terrible scripting with a 3rd grader communication level. I'm a bit shocked that Peter Fonda directed this low budget drivel.

Tons of holes with their time machine. You can't transfer metal on the body but can if you put it in the box in front. And of course every woman had to strip to her panties and sit with her legs spread wide. If a guy and girl was on board the girl would sit in front for camera exposure. No doubt a guy wrote that part of the movie.

Then the main persons sister is alive then dead then alive again? And they seem to be killing each other off or the older sister was but why? Then the main character returns to the base timeline to get an apple and a knife? And how did the main woman who wasn't technical readjust the time machine using a screwdriver? Also the main character sounds more like a 10 year old in her tantrums and the way she speaks. She feels pregnant and makes a point of telling everyone she is and who the father is only to find out she's as sterile as the rest of them for using the time travel machine. Just a weird person to be the lead character.

Also where was the team going in this new timeline? Was there no real plans? It also seemed lots of connecting scenes must be missing as the story jumped from one place to another fast seemly without reason.

It should have been called "People in desert walking." That's 80 percent of the movie. Come out of the box in the desert floor and walk while delivering a few lines. Or sit around the camp fire and discuss hippy life and philosophy in the same monotone tone that makes it seem like the actors were just trying to get through it.

Also when the two sisters talk about being raped, they are monotone, unemotional and sound like it was just another day in their lives to discuss. I would have thought the older sister would have freaked out by being told her younger sister was raped while they were apart. But her reaction was like "oh OK, nice to hear from you again".

Took me a while to realize Keith Carradine was one of the hippies. He was well hidden under all the blonde hippy hair. His part was minor.

Just a real bad movie and barely even SciFi. More like a drama without actors who could act. It looks like maybe a test of a failed film class or something as it was just pure bad. Even the camera views were all washed out and as monotone as the the acting.

So save yourself some time and just skip this one.

Overall I liked the film

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Overall I liked the film. People I think were more attractive back then. The story is kind of lazy. The ending didn't really follow through from the rest of the film. Compared to B movies today I actually found the acting better which isn't saying much. In many ways it actually felt real until the ending. My impression of the film is that it was a student film/art experiment designed to give people experience.

Beautiful scenery

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019

It was hard to follow, camera work gave a very blurry film. My reason for 5 stars is the scenery. I lived in that part of Idaho and loved the Dunes, Bruneau Canyon, Mtn. Home AFB, the semi-arid desert with the mountains in the back ground. And the sage brush! Brought back great memories.

Interesting if thin movie

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I saw part of this in the theater (the folks I rode with left early given their dim view of movies).
And interesting story of the earth in trouble and time travel. Interesting if some what amaturish acting but still I love this poor move for some reason.
A very early performance by Keith Carradine as Arthur. The film was produced by Peter Fonda's Pando Company in 1973.

If a sci-fi dystopia fan this one is for you ...

Teenager Karen Braden (Kelley Bohanon) is a troubled mental hospital outpatient who is taken by her father George and sister Isa to a government facility near the Craters of the Moon lava fields in Idaho. The project there was commissioned to develop matter transference, but made a different discovery: time travel. They also discovered that a mysterious ecological catastrophe will soon wipe out civilization.

The time travel process has negative health effects, though. Adults "not much older than 20" are unable to survive for long, as their kidneys hemorrhage shortly after the experience. So the scientists decide to only send young people 56 years into the future so they can build a new civilization.

After the government takes over the project, the transfer machines are turned off, trapping a large number of project members in the future. Now trapped, they begin exploring the future world.

At first I thought it was some kind of recently shot "retro" film. When I read the trivia I realized the journey that it had taken to finally arrive on my computer screen was about as far into the future as the film says that the student time-travelers were being sent, and I warmed up to the film enough to watched it all the way through. It was stark and gritty and I was pleasantly surprised . I might watch it again just to see if I can catch some kind of overlapping/reversing timeline.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017

It is important to view this piece through the lens of the times it was created in. The film's direction elicits a uniquely organic response from the actors, so while perhaps not professional, even for its time, there is genuineness in their response to the environment and setting. The banal and uninspired ending however removes a star from this rating.

1973 movie - nothing new here, and really not much viable old stuff either

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a really old pseudo sci-fi movie. There is not much really going on. There is some minor nudity to show off some young babes. But the plot is pretty thin, and the footage is pretty lame. Skim it or just skip it altogether. You wouldn't be missing much.

Ich vermisse Extras zur Restauration

Reviewed in Germany on August 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ich habe mir die DVD wegen der aufwendigen Restauration des Filmes gekauft und natürlich weil er nur ein mal am TV gezeigt wurde, trotz dem Hinweis auf die geringe Bild und Ton Qualität.
Es wird eine deprimierende Zukunft gezeigt ganz und filmtechnisch gesehen passend zu Filmen aus dieser Zeit.
Die Ton Restauration finde ich sehr gut gelungen nur vermisse ich zu diesem seltenen Film Extras zu Film und Restauration, auch interviews mit noch lebenden beteiligten wären möglich gewesen.. das hätte PIDAX ruhig auf die DVD packen können, Kaufempfehlung von mir nur an Film Interessierte oder Liebhaber dieses Genre. Ich denke für die Mehrheit, weniger interessant,

Idaho Transfer: An underrated Sci-fi gem

Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

Minor spoilers ahead
Let me say first that I am a hard core fan of Sci-Fi movies. From the first time I experienced it, Idaho Transfer is in my top Sci-fi all-time best movies.
On the outset, I acknowledge this movie lacks acting abilities, but I find this to be secondary for Idaho Transfer. This movie is totally underrated and has been given a very unfair evaluation at the time of its release. Granted it is not a big budget blockbuster. This movie carries several unknowns but it, fortunately, does not detract from the amazing way it was shot and ultimately, the profound impact and message of its story. And, in my opinion, this is what Sci-fi should be.
The premise is usually the simpler the story, the greater its impact, provided a script and a director who will carry it out. Amazingly, on his directorial debut, Peter Fonda achieves it. This time-travel story gets you in the gut. When experiencing this movie, you get a sense of haunting wonder coupled with creepy solitude and post-apocalyptic isolation. Or is there? The warning is sufficient.

Historisches Dokument

Reviewed in Germany on December 26, 2019

für hartgesottene SF-Fans. Hatte den Film als Jugendlicher gesehen und war tief beeindruckt, er reißt aber heute - trotz liebevoller Restauration des lange verschollenen Ausgangsmaterials - niemanden mehr vom Hocker. Typische Low-Budget-Produktion; die teuerste Requisite war wohl ein Tektronix-Oszilloskop, das jemand in einer Szene aus dem Labor trägt. Offenbar kam es der Regie mehr darauf an, dass sich junge Mädchen möglichst oft für die Zeitreisen ausziehen mussten.

Ein weiterer Film zum Thema Zeitreisen. Eher ein B-Film aber sehr ansehnlich. Mit wenig Effekten wird eine gute Geschichte erzählt.
