OMG, after watching the movie I just watched, I felt compelled to create this thread to warn those who might pop some corn and flip through Netflix or wander around in a video rental store and be sucked into deep regret after picking a real stinker of a movie. For me, that bad choice came with The Philadelphia Experiment II: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107819/
Just...
This movie was one of the most tedious, deus ex machina science fiction stories I have ever seen. The premise has been done to death in The Planet of the Apes, AU mirror universes where the US has taken a different historical path because of a nexus event in the timeline. In this case, it takes the premise of the original Philadelphia Experiment movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087910/ which was actually a pretty good science fiction drama made in 1984, and horribly mangles it. In the original movie, David Herdig from the USS Eldridge (the battleship involved in the experiment) is thrown forward in time from 1943 to 1984 due to a tear in space-time created in 1984 when scientists have done a similar experiment to the Philadelphia experiment in 1943 which ties the two timelines together. This movie uses that premise to create a scenario where a stealth fighter armed with a nuke lands in Nazi Germany of 1943. The Germans use the plane and its nuke to bomb Washington and the US loses the war. The protagonist, David Herdig from the first movie now has a son who is the focus of his need to make things right in the timeline, and he goes back to 1943 to stop the stealth fighter from bombing Washington.
But this stupid movie feels like it runs 5 hours, its slow and tedious and lots of drawn out useless scenes take place. The actors in this movie are oddly cast, but the set design and photography were good for their time. Its the STORY which sucked. I watched it all the way through, but I would suggest having your remote in hand with your finger over the FF button if you dare watch it. I give it :beckettd::beckettd:

This movie only deserves a thread, nothing more...did you see it?
