It's the 90's and technology is so great, kids can ride their skateboards to school. Oh yeah, and time travel. Nick (Matthew Bruch) constructs a time travel device. Nick was going to use this for the good of humanity, but that would be pretty lame, told to do so by the CEO of a nature corporation, J.K. (George Woodard). When he tried to use his time machine, he almost destroys the planet. Nick then goes on to build another time machine, since of course that's a good idea ("hey, my first one nearly destroyed the universe, how will I fix this? Another time machine") and attempts to stop J.K. from coming up with the idea for the original time machine.
I've never googled so much about a movie in my life. I was beyond curious with all of the aspects of this movie, since it's criminally low-budget. Apparently, the whole movie was shot in Vermont, and wasn't even intended to premiere in theaters. Instead, it aired on the sci-fi TV series, Mystery Science Theater 3000. This was caused by my many observations, including "is this a movie?" and "did a dog direct this movie?". After all, this movie was amazingly terrible. I observed early on that this was a parody of BTTF2, whether intended or not. That alone made me forgive this movie of all of its wrongdoings. It's so innocent, they tried to make an amazing movie but didn't have enough money. I bet with more resources and time, the concept of this film could branch out into something extraordinary. I would definitely want to watch something with such a good concept. The lack of money showed in scenes like the shotgun scene, which would be really cool if it wasn't filmed with a toaster. Not to mention the airplane scene before the time traveling, which would be way cooler with more editing. Also, the commentary from the show hosts wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be. Overall, terrible movie, but great time. Especially the host commentary, which made fun of the movie more than I ever could have.
