Clockmaker

Found this on Amazon Prime and sat down to watch it with the kids. They gave up before it was half way through. A combination of cheap special effects, low production values, attrocious acting (mostly from the adult cast) and a convoluted yet boring plot make this one of the worst family films ever. Amazon seem to have a large collection of this sort of thing in their vaults. Where do they find them and why do they bother looking??? Do your kids a favour and give this a big miss.

I just rented this from Redbox. I love it when they find obscure moves from 10 or more years ago to add to the bunch.

Noooo, this is not a great movie. But considering the budget, it's acceptable. One of those Afterschool Specials.

It teaches good lessons for KIDS and kids may not be the ones reviewing it. I am over 50, but can see the wisdom over substance.

Don't be so nosy, don't touch stuff that is not yours, keep your wits about you and use your noggin to get out of the mess you caused.

Just make sure you watch it with your Dr. Who glasses on. LMAO.

Have fun!

This movie. I have no words. Its very amateur. The camera angles are bad. The obvious use of green screen EVERYWHERE is obvious. And where it was used, it was poorly done. The story line made zero sense. Nothing was explained. Many times the music and effects over powered the voices of the actors. The acting was less than spectacular. It was very over done and the script was poorly written. Half the things the dude said didn't make any sense to me or my mother whatsoever. All in all, it was a very unappealing movie. I mean, If you like watching bad movies and pointing all the bad things out, by all means, have at it. But to me, it was excruciatingly painful. And i love pointing things out. SO yeah. Avoid this movie at all costs. You have been warned.

My second made-for-kids shot-in-Romania slice of junk following on from LITTLE GHOST. This one's another straight-to-video effort about a couple of kids who get involved with a weird old man who just so happens to have a time machine in his apartment. What unfolds is an adventure in which the kids run around a lot while the viewer suffers the effects that only a very poor and dated production can bring.

Nothing screams dated like a film made in the late 1990s and indeed CLOCKMAKERS is a very dated film. The cheesy CGI effects probably date it the worst, but the mannered acting and exaggerated performances really hurt it too. At least LITTLE GHOST was fun in a cheesy, CASPER rip-off kind of way, whereas CLOCKMAKERS is just inane. Attempts to bring to life the 19th century are quite woeful and overall this is on par with a cheap TV episode of a long forgotten kid's show. I notice once again a link to Full Moon Entertainment with writer Neal Marshall Stevens (here hiding under a pseudonym) contributing the script.

Well nobody else has commented on it so I might as well. This movie is just plain annoying. The camera swoops and dives, the characters are stupid, and the plot is stupid. Not to mention the very un-special effects. I won't recount this movie, but I will warn you to avoid it. Unless, like me, you are a fan of crap cinema, don't even think about it. If you are, than at least have a couple of friends over and make fun of it.
