The Worst Film Ever

Some things I liked some I did not.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie is just boring. The story is a rip off of every sci-fi movie about time travel, with absolutely no innovation and an uninspired cast. The movie just goes on and on about this little boy that never met his grandfather (Peter Coyote) who was a great aviator an also, you can tell cause the movie just spit this information at you, a bit of an inventor. So, obviously, the guy had future plans for a time machine - plans that come out true when his friend attempts to build it and get to the past so he can save the boy's grandpa from a plane accident while Peter Coyote tries to fly from USA to France. The historical argument is just ignorable so I won't even mention it. It was hard to watch it till the end.

When Jonathan's grandfather tells him about his great grandfathers attempt to fly across the Atlantic before Lindbergh he is fascinated by the stories. With the assistance of a time machine he goes back in time and meets him before his flight. Art Carney makes a good grandfather. Good casting, locations, and music. An entertaining family movie worth seeing.

The Blue Yonder is great family entertainment! It includes: adventure, science fiction and just clean family fun! Huckleberry Fox is as cute as a button. Without effort his facial features are adorable, but WATCH OUT -- HE CAN REALLY HAM IT UP! He is so convincingly surprised when the "time machine" starts up, and it is so funny to watch his bubble lip expression as it turns him around and around and around!

Put Huckleberry Fox, Peter Coyote, and Art Carney in a Fantasy Adventure film dealing with airplanes and time travel, add an intelligent script, excellent performances by the entire cast, give it a couple dashes of suspense, a few pinches of comedy, and capture it all with dazzling cinematography, and you have The Blue Yonder. This is the type of film that I actively seek out. BRAVO to all who worked on this fine family film.
