Fernando Duarte G Jul 21 Eu assisti esse filme na época do lançamento. Tinha 19 anos. Achei o filme sensacional. Sim , feito com baixo orçamento e com atores amadores e/ou sem experiência bastante. Mas gostei muito mesmo e o final, triste como triste é a história da humanidade.

If there was a back story posted, I missed it. The acting was fair, but emotionally seemed pretty blaise for the situation that they were facing... it didn't seem to concern them too much that they may be cut off from their "past" and source of supply, as if they had all trained and were prepared for this to be their fate.

Most of the ilk, perhaps to necessitate dramatic strength for the film's structure, maybe due to civil unrest from political turmoil worldwide in the late 60's, presented a future extremely difficult to endure and preciously doubtful to either survive or maintain. 'Idaho Transfer' was no exception. Director Fonda was obviously very talented, and the cinematography is beautiful for such a low-budget piece. The time-travel ideas were uniquely conceived, and though the soundtrack was dated, it worked for me. Fonda realized that like the landscape and the solitary experience the teenagers were facing, one needs to let the ideas have a chance to breathe and reveal their multifaceted meanings. Though the actors weren't professional, the casting works because of the naturalistic, almost documentarian approach Fonda utilized. The pessimism of 'Idaho Transfer' and its bleak outlook--that even though science may be able to, in theory, save humanity, human nature may not be able to handle the idea of a 'utopia' so easily--shows us, two generations later, how interconnected art and politics are, and how important it is NOW to take a stand and support what is truly necessary for mankind, while there is still a chance for us to do so, and a world worthy of saving. I fervently wish that Fonda had directed more films! =) See more 05/20/2013 This film is beyond confusing. There plot is a mess, the characters are annoying, and every single detail makes no sense. The end scene was left unexplained. Even when it tries to be thrilling, it fails to capture any interest. A really stupid, really mind-numbing film. See more Read all reviews
