Storyline

In the distant future, Flashback Films has been taken over by a sinister soda company, and the state of the movie industry is wilder than ever! Robots are replacing the studio's workforce, and Time Travel is on the cutting edge of moviemaking technology. Jack Taylor, the back lot's last human janitor, plunges the studio into chaos in order to steal a date with starlet Tiffany Sloane. To fix his mistakes, Jack commandeers the studio's prop-collecting time machine and ends up at the center of an explosive corporate conspiracy. Science fiction adventure meets Hollywood satire in this action-packed comedy as jack and Tiffany escape the clutches of furious studio executives, gun-toting reporters, an angry velociraptor, and an entire army of robots. With danger and hilarity around every corner, it's gonna take one hell of a janitor to clean up this mess!

Creative and fun sci-fi comedy adventure

This film is a super creative ride through a possible Hollywood future that pokes fun at the movie-making industry of today while introducing us to amusing characters and tons of hilarious film references. If you like Star Wars, you'll especially enjoy character Rufus Lucas (George's great-great- grandson, or something like that) who speaks in nothing but Star Wars quotes! There's even an exciting light saber battle amid the flying cars. It's quite awesome. The effects are especially amazing when you realize this film was made by three creative guys with no budget using green screens and computers in their garage. Incredible! It really does have a little something for everyone, from theme-park fun to a budding romance to a dinosaur chase. Some parts will probably be a bit scary for the youngest kids (and a lot of the humor will fly right over their heads), but overall it's safe for the family. There is a drunk character and a subplot about a sleazy rich guy hoping to seduce the studio starlet, but it's handled with humor and without anything remotely graphic. And I especially enjoy the acting of the corporate executive character Lamar as he's pushed further and further to the edge of sanity. The film is a visual delight, and a wild ride. There's even a full-blown, large-scale, and well-done musical number thrown in for extra Hollywood style. If you get the DVD, you'll probably want to watch the film more than once and pause it frequently to check out all the hilarious film parody posters sprinkled throughout the futuristic movie studio. Creative and clever, Flashback is a film you'll definitely want to see and share! :)
