nick S @Nick_S Feb 25 Good production value. Nice camera work and competent acting. Of course, being a time travel movie it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but entertaining if you can look past that. See more Tony F @Batmorph Feb 9 I nearly always find movies about time travel so implausible that it's hard to take the narrative too seriously. However, when a human element is a strong constant, for example Ben's desperate need to save his daughter Hillary from the clutches of her vindictive grandfather or from a meteorological disaster, it's really the only thing that kept me focused, apart from the fact that I kept staring at the Hillary character, thinking, "Where have I seen that face before?" (Jurassic Park). I think, in retrospect, the reason "movie stars" get paid so much is that they can often keep you watching the screen despite a poor storyline. Albeit 'Timescape' is a step above that denomination. See more Ben R @RT32705603 03/18/2025 Superb acting by Jeff Daniels as usual, and also by child actress Ariana Richards. Timescape, released on VHS as The Grand Tour, is a unique sci-fi movie, with a plot twist. Any fan of the time-travel genre should add this to the watched list. See more Wayne K @RT30594915 03/15/2023 A solid science fiction adventure from director David Twohy, "Timescape" was originally called "The Grand Tour" and went through a couple of title changes as it struggled to find an audience. That's too bad because the film is an entertaining very good adaption of the C.L. more and Henry Kutner short story of the same name. A group of very odd tourists show up at a bed and breakfast Ben Wilson (Jeff Daniels) is in the middle of renovating. Two handfuls of cash with large bills convinces him to take on the tourists even though the place isn't finished. Ben and his daughter (Arianna Richards) discover these ‘tourists' to a small rural town to be doing the oddest things and can't seem to do simple things like tie a shoe, unaware of traffic in the street. Made on location with a small budget, the director makes this about the character and mystery. It's a terrific first effort from Twohy with a terrific performance from Daniels.
