JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME 1967 (BRENTWOOD)

Low budget, but good remake of "The Time Travelers".

Scott Brady plays Stanton, a very gruff and hard nosed business man who has taken over his late father's business and now is cutting all expenses for everyone. This includes a time travel experiment. Before he decides to take all of their cash away Stanton wants to see the project actually work.

This causes the team to over due things and they are hurtled thru a time warp. They first travel to the far future where a race of aliens are fighting for survival during the final days of an all out nuclear war on earth, then they are flung into a prehistoric world where Dr. Gordon (Abraham Sofaer)falls into a volcanic pit and dies.

The trip gets even more bizarre when Stanton is killed when he actually crashes into another duplicate time travel device going the opposite way in time!! The last two remaining members of the team, Kate White and Mark Manning, played by Gigi Perreau and Anthony Eisley respectively, manage to get back to the present day, but then they find they have arrived a few seconds off and everyone appears to be standing still, including duplicates of themselves.

This in my opinion is a fun film. I first saw this on TV in the 80's on CBN and never forgot it, and I was glad to see someone put it out on DVD, but I hope it gets a Blu-ray treatment someday. It makes great watching on an early Saturday morning.

David Hewitt directed and wrote the screenplay. Recommended!
