Staring Bruce Campbell, albeit a small role as eccentric director William Roberts (though I didn't know it at that time), nevertheless was the reason why I watch this "what if?" production. November 22, 1963. Some say that the events that transpired in Dallas, Texas not only marked the end of the champaign of President Kennedy and devastated a nation, but also brought forth (among other things) the uncontested advancement of United States troops on Vietnam soil. In 92 minutes, Director and Writer Robert Dyke explores just that possibility, "What if President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had not died on that sunny afternoon in 1963?" A non-linear roller coaster follows with stops through time in the 60's, 70's, 90's, 2000, and 2001. It's quite an adventure (and a story...if this is your line of interest), filled with riveting details that is sure to discourage bathroom breaks--least you would be willing to forgo chunks of important information that piece this whole production together. One phrase did come to mind watching this movie, "Lolo (Grandfather), look at my mole?"Read full review
I saw this movie on cable and was BLOWN AWAY! This film is like James Cameron's Terminator meets Oliver Stone's JFK!! The premise is: What if JFK had lived? In fact, what if JFK's life was saved by a Time Traveler who warned him? There are so many levels to this film I don't know where to begin. First, the story jumps back and forth in time -- but in a cool way. The viewers are constantly kept on the edge of their seats, with nearly every scene ending in a new clue, twist or cliff-hanger. The beauty of it, and why I compare it to James Cameron's Terminator, is that the Time Travel story is so perfectly buttoned-up with no loose ends and every possible hope concluded full-circle. There are also a ton of star and character actor cameos in Time Quest. It's like half of Hollywood showed-up to play important characters in 1960s history! I was ready to stand-up and cheer about two-thirds the way through, but there was even more movie left! the final third of the film has one after another revealing moment of more twist resolutions, leading to the awesome final scene which blows you away! I know I'm coming-off like this is the greatest movie since Star Wars, but it really is great story telling with excellent twists. For one thing, you know that JFK's life gets saved in the first 15 minutes...that's not the point of the movie. The cool part is unraveling what happens next, or rather, what can be done to prevent Time Travel from undoing what was done. Just like Terminator, Time Quest is a perfect mobius loop of time travel logic that doesn't betray its own rules. There are plenty of moments where the movie could have taken an easy way out, but it continues to solve the mystery the hard way -- and that's what makes it so satisfying! I just read they are coming out with a Blu-ray high definition version with extra footage and a commentary track by Bruce Campbell that talks about little known Kennedy assassination trivia and how Time Quest was true to all those details being in this movie. Grab a copy as soon as you can, or better yet, watch for the Blu-ray release. I think I read they're calling the HD version, JFK: Second Chance. It's a wild ride for conspiracy buffs and science fiction fans alike. Enjoy!Read full review
