The concept is not original. You have seen this before many times, from Twilight Zones to “The Girl, The Gold Watch & Everything” (1980). Some do it well, as in “Timestalkers” (1987), and then there is this movie.
The standard premise is that misunderstood youth know better than their parents. Yep, and of course has to save the sire from the evil bad guy that has gone amok. Zack has Henry’s (Michael Biehm) molecular watch, and he wants it back. On the side, the father of Zack can be useful in completing the project. So, will Zack save his dad, or will Francesca run off to Tahiti with the bad guy?
One plus is the presence of French Stewart; I guess they needed one actor in the movie. And for distraction purposes, Paula Garcés.
