Trivia
Part of the filming occurred in the Bronson Caves, known to many history buffs as the Batcave in the Batman television series in the 1960s.

Goofs
The natural light entering the cave where Cara, Jackie, Taylor and Veeves rappelled down should have rapidly alternated with the changing of day and night after they crossed the time warp threshold, just like it did for Dr. Hopper. Unlike the cave that Prof. Hopper and Furby enter, the cave that the others enter isn't in direct sunlight. It has a small entrance under trees, that opens into a rather large cavern, the cave they descend down is at the opposite end of the cavern from the entrance. It would be nearly impossible for them to see the flickering of the seasons at the speed the days were passing.

Quotes
Taylor: So what are we doing here?
Hopper: Well, my grandfather used to tell me the future can give you anything you want. If you wait long enough, the future will create it. Maybe through technology, or maybe just by making you not want it anymore. Either way, the answer's in the future.

Crazy credits

Featured review

Starts slow but a gem of a movie that rewards patience.

The basic story is an Archaeologist going out to look for the old van from the 1970s, his parents were Hippies of sorts and disappeared all those years ago. He has some fresh ideas and knows there was a search for a fountain of youth in a cave. It is set and filmed in Texas, west of San Antonio, using the Sonora Caverns as the location for most of the filming.

When he does not return a couple of students of his and a couple of additional young friends set out to find him. That is when the action really starts. The first strange thing is when one of them exits the cave after only a few minutes, and looks up the jeep, the battery is dead and it is covered in old growth vines. That is the hint, somehow in the cave time slows way down. The cave is a "time trap."

All that spawns a number of other issues and builds to pretty interesting and exciting final couple of scenes. All in all a very different kind of movie and also very entertaining.

My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
