Flashback Films, a once-proud 32nd century movie studio, has fallen into disrepair thanks to a sinister corporate takeover. Classic films are robotically remastered. Ingesting films as hallucinatory tablets is the latest gimmick. Jack Taylor, the studio's last human janitor amidst an otherwise robotic workforce, dreams of a better life -- but his attempts to date leading lady Tiffany Sloane collide with the machinations of a corrupt studio executive, and plunge the studio into chaos. To fix...
Time Lord a.k.a. Flashback is a super creative ride through a possible Hollywood future that pokes fun at the movie-making industry of today while introducing us to amusing characters and tons of hilarious film references. If you like Star Wars, you'll especially enjoy character Rufus Lucas (George's great-great- grandson, or something like that) who speaks in nothing but Star Wars quotes! There's even an exciting light saber battle amid the flying cars. It's quite awesome. The effects are especially amazing when you realize this film was made by three creative guys with no budget using green screens and computers in their garage. Incredible! (You can check out flashbackmovie's "A Look Inside FLASHBACK" online if you want to check out the behind-the-scenes story!) No, the graphics don't all stand up to the huge budget Hollywood blockbusters ... but when you realize this is a truly independent film, you can really appreciate the accomplishment and enjoy the creative fun! This film really does have a little something for everyone, from theme-park fun to a budding romance to a dinosaur chase. Some parts will probably be a bit scary for the youngest kids (and a lot of the humor will fly right over their heads), but overall it's safe for the family. There is a drunk character and a subplot about a sleazy rich guy hoping to seduce the studio starlet, but it's handled with humor and without anything remotely graphic. And I especially enjoy the acting of the corporate executive character Lamar as he's pushed further and further to the edge of sanity. The film is a visual delight, and a wild ride. There's even a full-blown, large-scale, and well-done musical number thrown in for extra Hollywood style. If you get the DVD, you'll probably want to watch the film more than once and pause it frequently to check out all the hilarious film parody posters sprinkled throughout the futuristic movie studio. Creative and clever, Flashback a.k.a. Time Lord is a film you'll definitely want to see and share! :)
