I didn't really understand the movie when I saw it on MST, and I'm not so sure anyone involved in the film's production understood the concept either.
There's something here about Raul Julia, getting lost somewhere in a computer program, where he must go into the past to get out, at least I think that's it. The movie's point is never really clear or ever fully explained, but after the first 30 mins. it didn't really matter. The acting is pretty bad, but the whole execution of the plot is what sinks this one. MST had some fun with this one, with mixed results in my opinion. 7 stars for that, none for the flick.
