Storyline

Introducing a crazy new genre mash-up from Australian director, Stephen Amis. A WWII sci-fi adventure - full of time-travel, duplicitous Nazi robots, faulty spaceships and giant mega-fauna... Based on the classic novella, 50,000 Years Until Tomorrow by J.J. Solomon, and with a screenplay penned by Amis, David Richardson and Serge DeNardo, the movie is a homage to sci-fi and WWII movies of the 1940's and 50's.

Rifleman Roberto Barelli: The American people aren't stupid, Corporal Updike... They're about as likely to elect a dumb, redneck cracker asshole like you for President as they would a dimestore wop like me.

User Reviews

This film has all the right ingredients but . . .

On face value, this film has all the right ingredients to qualify as a SCI-FI classic - Nazis, disgruntled US soldiers, spaceships, the Australian outback, mild sexual innuendo, time travel, a potential US presidential candidate and so much more. But, as any fan of "Celebrity Bake-Off" will tell you, having the right ingredients does not mean that you will end up with a good result.

I wish I could say that I enjoyed this film. But that would be stretching the concept of enjoyment a bit too far.

Will I watch it again? Doubtful.

Would I watch the sequel? Sadly, yes (if they decide to make one).

This is probably one of those films to see before you die, but not a film to die for.
