*SPOILERS GALORE*
We just finished this excellent film and are astonished at its quality, given the very low budget. Not one character rings untrue. The script is tight, the storyline (mostly) plausible, the acting is spot-on. I particularly congratulate them for making the time-traveling protagonist so intelligent. Having quickly accepted his impossible situation, Alistair just gets on with the business of survival, dedicated to getting back to his proper time and place. He doesn't waste time on gap-mouthing at all the futuristic wonders surrounding him in ours. He knows how to hunt squirrel and, likely, how to find exact coordinates in a park that doesn't exist in 1919 or whenever it was when he gets (got?) back. (I have to wonder just where and when the wormhole deposited him. Hopefully, not back in the middle of battle wearing Timberlands and a nylon backpack.)
This movie is going to stay with me for a long, long time.
Seriously, there is a word for people who can take such meager resources and spin a treasure like Alastair1918: Alchemists.
