vampi1960 Journey to the center of time,not to be confused with journey to the center of the earth is not a bad movie at all.true its low budget but its entertaining.maybe I'm a sucker for b-movies,i do like the cast Anthony"Fred"eisley(wasp women)Scott Brady(destination inner space) Abraham sofaer,Gigi perreau,and Lyle waggoner(Steve Trevor on TVs wonder woman)my major complaint is they used a lizard as a dinosaur in one scene.but lets blame the low budget.there's a lot of really bad movies out there this one is above the worst films.if i compare this to lets say the mighty gorga(69)made by the same company and directer David Hewitt,ill pick journey as a better film.5 out of 10 not bad.

copper1963 Low-budget romp through the backwaters of time and space. The distant past and far-off future collide in what amounts to a fiery blast furnace of ideas and images. A trio of scientists, on the threshold of a major breakthrough in time travel, race against the clock and a funding cut. Stanton, the main source of cash, played by a blustery Scott Brady, behaves like an ignoramus. He doesn't see a profit margin in such an endeavor. At first glance, this remake of A.I.P.'s The Time Travelers, would appear to be a poor relation. Not so fast. I think there are some good ideas spinning around here. You might notice that Star Trek helped themselves to a few. One plot device, involving a time-displacement and frozen duplicates of the main players in a conference room, was lifted for "Wink of an Eye." And the dark and minimalist set for the alien leader must have inspired "The Empath." Any takers? The one love scene, strangely, involves a time travel limerick and a lengthy kiss. Uncomfortable. The mutant attack has an Andy Warhol feel to it. Abstract. Cockeyed. Out of whack. The door to the lab breaks into quarters when opened. Cool effect. Even stranger is the small elevator that takes Stanton down four feet, when he could have easily walked down the four steps on his own. A very quick shot of the infamous bat-rat-spider-crab from Angry Red Planet, a previous writing credit of the director, is a shout out to that film's director. The opening credits reveal time pieces from the past. Good touch. So where's the original flick. Put it out on DVD now. Let's compare. The sands of the hour glass are running out. At warp speed.

classicsoncall It's hard to believe that movies as bad as this were being made as late as 1967. It's about as technologically advanced as any "B" grade film from the '40's, but done in color. However the garish orange of the lab setting and time capsule is so bright it will make you grab for a pair of sunglasses. So much for the high points."Journey to the Center of Time" would be an embarrassment for a fledgling film student, that it was made at all with real money is to be questioned as much as the film's star Scott Brady questions his company's funding of research in the science of time travel. For two years, Doc Gordon (Abraham Sofaer), Mark Manning (Anthony Eisley) and Karen White (Gigi Perreau) have only managed to navigate twenty four hours into the past. That's all about to change, as the trio, along with owner Stanton (Brady) kick start their time travel gizmo five thousand years into the future for a rendezvous with aspiring screen star Poupee Gamin, surely you recognize her name. One of her futuristic aides is Lyle Waggoner, who fortunately managed to survive this mess to earn a spot on the Carol Burnett Show and later, "Wonder Woman".The time lab can best be compared to a time travel boomerang; from the future the gang whips back to one million years B.C. to pick a nice round number, where the greedy Stanton grabs a jewel and takes off in the lab once again, stranding Manning and White in the past. In a series of frenetic flashbacks and flash forwards, the entire movie is relived for those of you who dozed off the first time.Getting beyond the embarrassment, you can have a fun time with this one as long as it's with a bunch of friends and the right mix of refreshments. The film can be enjoyed on many levels; I know because it made as much sense played in reverse as it did played forward.

sguzman1113-1 I just saw this movie today. What a delightfully schlocky movie with deliciously cheesy special effects and wonderfully tacky, minimalist sets. I thought Anthony Eiseley was better used in "Navy vs. The Night Monsters" though he did give a believable performance. Scott Brady was gruff and menacing. I'm not sure what his character was thinking in attempting to return the ship back to it's original time. He didn't seem to scientifically inclined. Gigi Perreau was sweet, but just a bit of window dressing. I think a stronger female would have been more suitable and created some tension with the men.The end of the story left me just a bit confused as to how the ship managed to meet itself twice, get blown up twice and still return to the future. Overall, a decent movie in it's genre and budget.
