Starring Jeff Daniels (Dumb & Dumber), Ariana Richards (the little girl from Jurassic Park) and directed by David Twohy (Pitch Black), Timescape is an original feeling sci-fi film.
Plot: Jeff and his daughter are busy refurbishing their house in an american hamlet town, ready for its new openning as a guest house, when a very 80's group of pretty people arrive in a large bus and take lodging. They say they're tourists, but what's to see in a little out-of-the-way town like this one? Spectacle, that's what. Seems Jeff's first guests are tourists from the perfect future, come to have a gander at the disasters of the past. It's up to Jeff to save the day.
Having seen this film more than a few times over the years (a personal favourite from a young age), I'm definately bias towards it. That being said, it's a subtle sci-fi. The elements that make this feature entertaining aren't garish and ham fisted. If you can't find it as Timescape, try its video title, Grand Tour: Disaster in Time.
Fun Fact: Written by husband and wife team Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore, both members of the H.P.Lovecraft Circle.
