Joe Buchanan (John Hurt) is a scientist in New Los Angeles 2031. When one of his experiments fractures the very core of time and space, he is thrust back in time to nineteenth century Geneva where he finds Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Raul Julia) desperately trying to cope with his own disastrous experiment. Impressed with Buchanan's advanced knowledge of electricity, Frankenstein enlists his help with his "creation," persuading Buchanan that the only way to stop "it" from killing is to create a mate. The outrageous endeavor could either save the scientists...or destroy them!

What a crack of shit!! A nice idea of what could happen, when a scientist unable to come to grips of his own disastrous invention is sucked into it and goes back to a time to meets with the infamous Dr. Frankenstein. But its too happy-go-lucky and over the top that you wish that you were watching the Power Rangers instead! Its not that its not that the story line isn't easy to follow, but the film must have had a low budget....a VERY LOW BUUD-GET!  What a fuckin' cheesy ending!!! Oh I am so scared and vulnerable about what could still happen, even though, it seemed to be a happy ending! Some one was blowing smoke up their asses!

LED lights, a laser show, and a bunch of wires does not constitute as an illustration of the future. Yes, the film throws in some beautiful landscapes and nineteenth century architecture, but that hardly makes up for this kid's show! What does (to no surprise), is John Hurt's performance. He brings intelligence, strength, integrity, and perseverace to the character of Dr. Joe Buchanan.
