Tomek D @SzybkiSeans 2 days ago I love old B-movie science fiction because when filmmakers don't have money, they have to compensate with ideas. The Time Travelers is a perfect example. It looks cheap and sometimes wonderfully ridiculous, but it throws everything at you: time travel, nuclear war, mutants, an underground city, androids, Alpha Centauri and finally a time loop. And somehow it works. The best part is the ending, which turns a strange detail from the opening scenes into something surprisingly clever. Suddenly, the film's low-budget madness comes together. The Time Travelers isn't a forgotten masterpiece. It's naive, dated and occasionally silly. But it has something many far more expensive movies lack: the constant desire to show you another idea. Sometimes B-movie doesn't mean bad movie. Sometimes it simply means the filmmakers' imagination was much bigger than their budget. See more Edmund Z @evzusa Dec 29, 2025 Its 1964 era Sci-fi..!! Stop rating movies effects by today's standard. The story is solid..enjoy!! See more Darren B @ItsLunchBox702 Apr 13, 2024 It's a fun cheesy b Sci fi movie great for just having fun See more CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Apr 8, 2024 Movie is cheap, campy, silly, with lame fx. It does have some interesting time travel ideas, as scientists create a time portal, and literally step into the future. They find an underground colony of post apocalyptic humans preparing for interstellar escape. It's 107 years into the future, but 1960's hairstyles still prevail, and it seems the colony is made up of mostly adult white people and androids. On the plus side, lots of lonely attractive women also survived nuclear armageddon. See more William R. P @Ogn_Dulk Apr 7, 2024 Not bad .................................... See more Apr 27, 2020 An early attempt at an intelligent film about time travel. Well written and startlingly good production values for a film of limited budget. I'd recommend it to early film production students who want to see how less can be made to look like more. See more Read all reviews
