A surprise sleeper hit when released in 1992, this romantic fantasy works as a comedic adventure and a gentle tearjerker thanks to Mel Gibson's appealing performance. He plays Daniel, a daring test pilot who is deeply distraught by the apparent death of his girlfriend, Helen, in 1939. Feeling little reason to live, he volunteers for a pioneering cryogenics experiment and is thawed out 50 years later by two young boys. They bring the confused pilot home to Nat's single mom, Claire (Jamie Lee Curtis). There's a hint of romance, but Daniel desperately needs to know if Helen really died in 1939, and he discovers that love has a way of surviving a half-century leap in time. The premise is hokey and certain plot details are conveniently ignored, but Gibson, Curtis, and Elijah Wood (as Nat) hold it together with irresistible charm and just the right balance of fantasy and drama. --Jeff Shannon

 Corny, Silly, and all that.... but still a great love story March 15, 2010
vtibs (Paris, France)
OK, this film is silly. Guy in love, scared to pop the question; girl hit by a truck (literally), goes into a coma; guy decides life not worth living so volunteers for the first-ever (top secret!!!) cryogenics experiment. Wakes up 53 years later, discovers the world has forgotten about him, but he has not forgotten anything; especially not his one true love and his best (only) friend.
So, dimiss the movie on the altar of "ridiculous, not realistic at all..."
OR
Enjoy a beautifully made love story of human beings (and planes...) that works at multiple levels. The scene where Daniel (Gibson) teaches Nat (Wood) to fly is simply one of the best "romance" scenes ever filmed by Hollywood (in the truest sense of the word "romance", see [...]).
The only truly wrong note in the movie is the ending, so quit about 45 seconds before the end, if you can. Till then, sit back and enjoy.

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In 1939, after losing his love, a test pilot volunteers for a cryogenics experiment and is "thawed out" 50 years later. This movie is a romantic drama, with a twist in the tale that changes everything. A truly amazing movie. Elijah Wood and Mel Gibson give a great performance that really do complement each other. A very touching movie for all to see.
 Good film December 16, 2009
A. Grubshteyn (Mamaroneck, NY)
I'd prob give this film 3.5 stars if I could. It's a very good, old-fashioned kind of movie that combines sci-fi and an old-fashioned love story. All the actors are very good and it's really even quite an inspiring film.
