Well, this film really didn't need to be released, because of the TV series "Voyagers". First of all, i'll talk about the mistakes in the film. It shows Phinneas Bogg as the voyager flying through time, and you can briefly see each time that he has a string on his back. Also, Meeno Peluce's voice changes a lot in this. Sometimes he talks with a deeper voice. Since the film was made in 1982, Jeffrey says that it was 1984. That same scene, Phinneas says, "...in 1984", but the way his mouth is moving, he's saying 1982.
So it has a few errors in the film that are pretty noticeable. Now to the story of it. It hasa good story to it, but the mistakeas make it horrible. It's about a voyager named Phinneas Bogg that has a job going back in time to make the history of wherever he's at has to make it look right and better. So, I suppose Phinneas was suppose to go see Christopher Columbus, because of this line..., "This isn't 1492...where's Columbus kid?!" So at that time he meets Jeffrey from a window he crashes through, and accidentally thrown out the window, with his dog with Phinneas's guide book.
The voyager guide book tells him what he has to do in order to get the job done. Strange huh? Well him and Jeffrey, an 11 year boy, go and try to make history happen rightly. So, they visit The Wright Brothers, Titanic, the World War, and few more places. But I mean, the film didn't have to be made, since there was already gonna be a TV Series of it. But actually, this is how the boy Jeffrey ends up with Phinneas Bogg in the first place.
So, it has an interesting story about going back in time, and making history happen. The only thing is the mistakes and maybe the choice of actors in the film. Jon Erik Hexum plays Phinneas Bogg. I think he really plays a good part as starting as an actor, unfortunately he died of that accidentally shooting that happened. But still I think the film is okay, but just never lived up to success in cinema very well.
