The PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT
- The PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT
Film (1984). New World/Cinema Group/New Pictures/Douglas Curtis. Executive prod John CARPENTER. Dir Stewart Raffill, starring Michael Pare, Nancy Allen, Bobby Di Cicco, Eric Christmas. Screenplay William Gray, Michael Janover, based on a story by Wallace Bennett and Don Jakoby, based in turn on the purportedly nonfictional The Philadelphia Experiment (1979) by William I. Moore and Charles Berlitz. 101 mins. Colour.
In 1943 a device to render warships invisible to radar is tested, but instead it throws an entire destroyer and crew temporarily forward in time, where two crew members fall through a vortex into the 1984 Nevada desert. One of them (whose electromagnetic instability has been creating havoc) is later drawnback to 1943. The second, joined by a paradigmatic 1980s woman (Allen), undergoes the culture shock obligatory in all visiting- ALIEN and TIME-TRAVEL films, refuses to believe that Reagan is president, looks uphis buddy (now elderly), finds the time vortex is getting worse, and winds up - after a brief detour to 1943 during which he saves the world - back in 1984. TPE is silly as sf (having undergone many rewrites, including a script by Carpenter) but fun. While not as amusing as Raffill's earlier The ICE PIRATES (1984), it is better than his appallingly sentimental Macand Me (1988), a film about cute aliens that appears to be an unacknowledged advertising campaign for Coca-Cola and McDonalds.
