Take one of the better science fiction films of the the past, add an even more intelligent script, superb direction, and excellent production values and you have this stunning remake of the 1984 Philadelphia Experiment. The cast includes some of the best actors of our time doing work that is nothing less than breathtaking. The combination of star power, great special effects, fabulous twists on the original plot, and the backing of Syfy results in a sure-fire hit that should receive a much higher rating than it does here. Fans of the original will welcome this production and the inclusion of familiar faces from the 1984 classic. This is science fiction as it is meant to be: smart, well produced, and with a cast that is undeniably one of the finest assembled for any film project.

Has everything considering the REAL Philadelphia Experiment was actually a real top secret event that has come to be known to the public through the years. This "SYFY Channel Original" leaves off where the original 1984 film did, and is impressive for a SYFY low-budget film not to be confused with SCI-Fi Channel original channel title; which was a completely different Era in Sci-Fi films, where you couldn't discern Low-budget films from high budget.Of course, from an actor point-of-view -which is higher judging ability; which this review is of course - the 80's through the 90's had superior talent industry in general not to be confused with todays "Disney channel actors"; case & point.The old pro actors had such a dry script however, they pulled-off a decent Sci-Fi film because the true Philedelphia event as mentioned before in fact occurred even according to the Government and military records which cannot be falsified; case & point. Truths isn't conjured-up to be entertainment, that's why all these films on the Philadelphia military Experiment are not so "Hollywood" bull jacked up and is what made this movie work.Only thing the script could have improved upon like all documentary based stories is to give us some real answers on the event finally NOT fictional ones that end like a Kevin Trudea installment where your left with more questions then answers.

Decent remake of the 1984 film mainly just takes the basic plot and takes it into a new direction so those who loved the original movie and its love story can rest easy. In this version, a government agency is doing work on the original Philadelphia Experiment when something goes wrong and the ship Eldridge ends up floating around in time. The sole survivor (Nicholas Lea) ends up getting off the ship in 2012 and teams up with his granddaughter (Emilie Ullerup) to try and find out what's going on and how to stop it. I actually thought that the first hour of this film was better than anything in the original movie but sadly the final thirty-minutes start to go overboard but in the end we're still left with a fairly impressive movie and especially considering it aired on SyFy. What I enjoyed most about the first half is simply the confusion of the Bill Gardner character as he tries to figure out what went wrong in the 1943 experiment and how it has gotten him placed in 2012. I thought the early scenes between him and his granddaughter were quite entertaining and I thought the action scenes that followed with the two were well directed. The problem happens when the super secret government people start to show up with murder in their eyes and this is when the first loses its brain and fall off track. I'd say the superhuman powers that Gardner receives is also something that didn't work too well. I thought both Lea and Ullerup were extremely good in their roles and their performances made the film all the more enjoyable. Malcolm McDowell has a quite cameo but is a lot of fun and the original star Michael Pare is also on hand here so that should thrill fans of the 1984 film. I had just watched the original film days before this one and I said that the material was so strong that it really needed a bigger budget to fully capture everything it could. That didn't really happen with this movie as there's still something better that could come from the material but this here is still worth

If it wasn't for the hot girl and somewhat OK storyline to the movie I would've rated it a 1/10 or 0/10. This is one of those movies with a very low budget, 20-50 people max are featured in the movie. There are hardly any details in the movie that it makes it boring, dull, and an unworthy movie to watch.If I were to recommend anything to anyone about this movie it would be to not waste your time watching it as there are too many flaws to it and unrealism to it.Unwrapped story: Two people in a small town of course are boyfriend/girlfriend and the boyfriend gets stuck in the ship. The guy who was in the ship gets out and it starts teleporting to areas around the world. The bad guys are people who are in the company who produced the so called teleporter and want to destroy the ship, but want to keep the technology/teleporter for future use. Turns out they don't listen to the scientist who is right and end up getting killed because of it. Rest of the story is on you or other reviews to waste your time with such an awful movie.
