Offbeat ec0 sci-fi about some young researchers who transport themselves into the future, hoping to survive and maybe help save whatever's left of humanity in the wake of a looming environmental apocalypse. The effects are low-tech and the story meanders, but the barren Idaho landscapes are strikingly shot. Considering the time the movie was made, the age of its protagonists and the fact that Peter Fonda was directing it, you wonder how come nobody's smoking pot. Somebody had to be lighting up off-camera, for sure.
