Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The plot was inspired by two earlier stories. The first, H.G. Wells' "The New Accelerator" (1901) about a scientist who develops a drug enabling him to move so fast that no-one can see him. From his viewpoint, everyone else is frozen in time. The second inspiration, a 1963 episode of "The Twilight Zone" titled "A Kind Of Stopwatch" in which an irritating little man is given a stopwatch which allows him to freeze everyone else in time while he cam move normally. more

For kids, 9 April 2002
Author: JB-69

This is a fun movie for kids, I went with 7 - 8 year old kids, they loved it : with them around, it interesting, otherwise, don't go with adults, they'll find it kinda stupid.

By the way, it's paradoxal to see a movie based on a plot very close to an old Star Trek episode ("Wink of an eye") directed by Jonathan Frakes...!
