Trivia:
A long strip of red Dymo tape runs across the transfer control box. At one point late in the film, the camera gets close enough that part of it is legible. It says: "...LASSES,RINGS,WATCHES,BRACELETS, ETC USE MAT..." This apparently refers to the compartment box in the transfer station in which all metal objects must be placed. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Karen returns to the camp to find everyone dead, in the establishing shot, her face is caked with dirt, but in subsequent close-ups, and all other shots, her face is clean. moreFAQ

I wouldn't say this is one of the all-time great sci-fi films, but it does very well with what it has.
The time travel machine (and the reasons for using it) is more plausible than any other I've seen in movies or TV, and the story, though not fast moving, does keep you interested.
However, I was disappointed by the "Soylent Green" type revelation at the end; it wasn't in character with the rest of the film (though it was cool in a creepy kind of way... I know that if I had seen this movie when I was a kid, that last scene would have stuck with me forever, though I probably would have forgotten the rest!)
