If you like sitting on the edge of your seat with suspense all while wondering if the main character actually is the Devil's child, this movie is for you. Watch it. Your nerves may not thank you, but your sense of adventure and imagination will.

I was serious but after 30 min in the movie, it made me felt that movie industry is some kind of joke and they even know themselves so they made this available for free on Youtube.

Many people criticize the acting in this movie but while overall it wasn't great (with the exception of Samantha Ipema) it's unfair to compare everyone in the movie to her. Ms. Ipema reminds me of someone from the Golden Age of Hollywood with her perfect natural beauty as well as amazing acting talent, she will undoubtedly be a star in the near future. The movie has a great concept and I thought told the story very well with a few exceptions. Doc & Sally are apparently traveling through time looking for Dave but no explanation is given as to how they knew he had left 2020 or how they knew when and where he traveled to. I thought the technology shown 800 years in the future was great and very believable but the technology shown in the brief scene set 100 years in the future wasn't. Given where our technology is now it's almost certain there will be no flying cars in 100 years, I thought that scene should have been set maybe 200 or 300 years in the future. The concept of portals being used to travel through space is something being talked about now so it being perfected 800 years from now is believable. The worst part about the movie was Sam, that character was too over the top and reminiscent of the villains in silent movies who would tie people to train tracks. I cannot reiterate enough how the magnificent performance turned in by Samantha Ipema was, she is the type of actress not scene in a long time. Most of Hollywood now is dominated either by women with incredibly good looks but little else to add to a movie or women who can carry a movie all by themselves with their amazing talent but with looks that are rather plain which would make them unbelievable as a femme fatale. Samantha Ipema on the other hand possesses the most amazing acting talent AND equally amazing physical beauty. See this movie if only for her.

This movie had a little potential from the beginning, but it never brought anything together. I love sci-fi movies and wanted to check this one out, but everything was so cheaply done. The storyline was really cheesy. It was also very unbelievable that a "brotherhood" would get so upset and want to go after someone over fish hooks. Really? Come on! Even the villain in this movie was such a bad villain it was entirely unbelievable, almost to the point of laughable. The camera work was terrible as well. I almost didn't finish the movie because how bad it was but I had already wasted an hour. Why not finish it? But I was so uninterested that I still don't really know what happened at the end.

A young man travels into the future. Despite a zero budget and bad acting from some of the supporting cast (not the leads), this is not too bad at all. Today, we get so many fast paced science fiction "epics" with endless action scenes and too many quick edits. This is the other side to all that. No action scenes and no quick edits - but that is good! Perhaps some of the reviewers are young and just don't know that productions like Escape 2120 have been made for decades as far back as the 1950s. In fact, this could almost pass as something made in the 1990s. In a nutshell, if you are after a lavish Hollywood production, you will not like this. However, if you want two interesting young people and some clever science fiction ideas - you will enjoy this retro flick.

Before watching this movie, I read the bad reviews, then read the books it was based on. For that reason, it was probably easier for me to follow than for others. Obviously the movie is low budget. Bad acting was present, but the guy who played Samuel was almost unbearable to watch. I feel this movie could be remade with more money, better actors, and perhaps more action scenes with better changes in musical score, and might then do a bit better.

"Escape 2120" tells the tale of Dave, a young man who had lost his parents, and was looking to escape his life. He wins a competition with his prize of helping two scientists with their experiment in time travel. The story has great ideas, in both who to travel through time, and what the world would be like in the distant future. Unfortunately, the movie was very slow moving, with a number of the concepts, not very well explained. Too much time was spent on dialogue, and not enough on exploring the world of the future. I did like the Doc - who seemed to be a cross between Doc Brown (Back to the Future) and Max Headroom. With a bigger budget, this movie would have had the potential to be very impressive and entertaining. I did watch this movie till the end, but it was a struggle.

Think of it as a community college production. The acting is...entertaining and the story is interesting enough. Just put it on in the background while you're cleaning or something.
