Fantastic. What's funny about this movie is it's relative simplicity is really a mask for an incredibly well-thought out and plotted script. The set-ups in Act One are clear to anyone who's seen the film before, but transparent to newcomers. Act Two balances two major conflicts, each with pretty dire consequences, but never taken too seriously. Act Three is an exciting nail-biter, as the second major conflict comes to an end. The pacing is fantastic, and the film is engaging throughout. The simple mask may at times appear dorky, old fashioned, or incredibly 80s, but all of that now adds to the charm of the quintessential time-travel film of our time. It is amazing how many films have borrowed similar elements. Awesome.
Buy - Yes, on Blu-Ray.
