NOT FOR LONG, WE GOTTA WRAP THIS THING UP

#Monsterdon

Vaguely shot her in the foot, smiling all the time.

#Monsterdon

wait she can't go back because she wasn't born yet? what does that mean?

#Monsterdon

...Wait is he -- he's taking her WITH him back to 1960!? Holy shit talk about a fate worse than death. #Monsterdon

lol, but why 1994?

OK, actually that does make sense from our timeline

#monsterdon

Was this one shot from some other film? It stands out like a sore thumb. They didn't need to cut this in.

#monsterdon

In the distant future of 2024, the M1 carbine will be the weapon of choice, I guess. Again. #monsterdon

So the pilot (Major Allison) doesn't understand that if he goes back to the past to change the timeline and prevent the plague, very likely everyone in the timeline he's landed in, including the beautiful helpful Trirene and the 1973 cosmonaut and the other guys from 1994 (and the ~Morlocks and the "civilized") folks will all vanish. Oho, "None of this is real!" he says to the Supreme. I think Trirene may have figured it out, though. #Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

the big captives room is definitely from another movie

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

The Blue Man Group tearing up the Citadel, Air Force Man wants to take his mute bride back to the 60s....but the Talking Woman.....oh too late...

#monsterdon

remain here so we can harvest your studmuffiness and build that handmaiden farm we need #Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@gnomon
... but the lift going up should *rise* in tone, dammit! #monsterdon

i feel like way more effort was put into the sets than the plot

#monsterdon

"Are these walls not solid stone?"
"Well, according to the production notes, they're muslin over plywood."

#monsterdon

Are those not Real Triangles?!?! #Monsterdon

It's 2024 and soldiers are still carrying M1As

#monsterdon

Okay, sure, Trirene can read all of the main dude's dirty thoughts, but consider: I'm pretty sure she's thinking about sex more frequently than he is #Monsterdon

Props to the mook really putting in overtime on the screen death

#monsterdon

"yes, my supreme" they've got a weird kink thing going on between these two old men, and i can only thank my lucky stars that there's been no exposition on THAT. #monsterdon

Maybe this isn't on Earth but Minbar #monsterdon #babylon5 #triangles

Granddad Overlord is REALLY keen for his grand daughter to jump the time traveller, pretty ick if you ask me.

#monsterdon

"We have returned to our birthplace to die."

So... Turini's a salmon? #Monsterdon

Just to make sure, in case he gets something wrong, they should bone before he goes. 😆 Pardon my language.

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@msh From smbc.com

#monsterdon

Props to the mook who almost walked into the triangle corridor

#monsterdon

It also has to be said he's making A LOT of assumptions about temporal mechanics. Like, if he goes back in time, wouldn't that *erase* this timeline, meaning none of them would ever exist? Isn't this a kind of mass murder? #Monsterdon

i saw a parasite's house with a round living room and a pool like that in architectural digest

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

She doesn't have to be much of a telepath to figure out what's he's thinking when she's skinnydipping #monsterdon

This dude absolutely does not fuck. #Monsterdon

The captain: "It's very difficult for me to know what to do --"

Turini: "Don't you mean who to do?"

#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon

ah, yes, time spheres
#monsterdon

i wonder what the baldcap guys are up to

#monsterdon

Isn't there a rather serious risk sending him back to before the plague started?

What if he's a carrier now?

#monsterdon

It's not science if there are no glass containers of bubbling liquids. I don't make the rules

#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon

The technobabble... I can't, it's too much

#Monsterdon

They're also running an experiment to see what happens when you combine baking soda and vinegar.
#monsterdon

that's not how relativity works #monsterdon

So he just has to go back in time and convince the government that they are screwing up the environment and it will kill us all?

In this scenario, time travel is more realistic than the ability to convince the government that we are causing enviromental damage

#Monsterdon

Phenomenon! #Monsterdon

If you're going to prevent this plague you're going to have to impeach Nixon first.

Good luck with that.

#monsterdon #beyondthetimebarrier

no wait, this isn't Buckaroo Bonzai _either_! #monsterdon

but there is a pitfall in the system. you mean other than like, physics? #monsterdon

You know, it's impressive that the eponymous Time Barrier *hasn't* been mentioned so far, considering all that exposition.

#Monsterdon

The soundtrack is honestly bizzare
#Monsterdon

Did… did she read his thoughts and discover that he needed to be in a closet? 🤔 #monsterdon

class woman things, lying splayed out and bereft on a platform underneath my silks #monsterdon

"She's our last hope."

We need her to have roughly a hundred babies to save our colony.

#monsterdon

She's gonna implant her eggs in his esophagus. #Monsterdon

you don't often see too many military men so resistant to getting laid

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Oh a big lore dump now. Talk of humanity surviving in space colonies while the Earth is despoiled. Wait is this a prequel to Gundam?
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

bro we are more than halfway through the movie we do not have time for you to grapple with the loss of your time period if you wanted to do that we needed to do that exposition half an hour ago #monsterdon

@kcarp Fair point, it was a simpler time

#Monsterdon

"I'll tolerate no more o' yer schemin'."

Sword Beard guy is weirdly southern for the far flung future. #Monsterdon

okay, so I'm watching Fallout. got it. #monsterdon

@Taweret Vibes are less "lady" than "telepathic cheerleader" from that one #monsterdon

"All the humans who are left are either mutant or sterile or both." So there's a mutant population that can probably breed and this whole thing is just a eugenics project?

#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon

Major, you have been chosen for…um, regeneration…

#monsterdon #beyondthetimebarrier

"Cosmic Radiation From Outer Space. No, wait, atomic dust from nuclear explosions, No wait, it was both ..."

#Monsterdon

oh they've screwed up the ozone layer and maybe the van allen belt? okay

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

This movie advocates for MORE NUCLEAR TESTING. #monsterdon

nuclear ash floats up into space what?????

#Monsterdon

Ahh, humans on Venus. A classic of pre-Mariner sci-fi, ya love to see it.

#Monsterdon

We are really behind schedule in the colonization department

#monsterdon

'what if post apocalypse ladies needed me for mating' has gotta be the most persistent sad male fantasy in all of scifi

#monsterdon

THE PLAGUE OF '71 #monsterdon

Really, you have to wonder why more people don't try to get rid of a lady who's a full telepathy and also a close relative of the supreme ruler. #monsterdon

"what kind of female are you?" that is certainly a question, my guy. take two misogyny coins out of petty cash. #monsterdon

Sooooo, they went into Space and Space punished them for it?

#monsterdon

yeah that noisemaker isn't annoying at ALL

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"Colonies on Mars and Venus by the 1970s"

That's some tech level advance

#monsterdon

she's horny you idiot!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

Demolition Man, 12 Monkeys, Children of Men.....all movies who owe this movie a debt

#monsterdon

that should be a paternoster

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

A talking Woman!
Nepo Baby didn't like her.

#monsterdon

in the future everyone keeps a stack of poster sized photos of immediate family members. just in case

#monsterdon

i see her parents still lived in the primitive age of rectangles

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Why is her father older than her grandfather? #monsterdon

dear fuck these people walk too much, and oddly

#monsterdon

#monsterdon They threw our protagonist in that triangle-doored holding pen for... like three minutes? And then took him right back out again, without closing the door behind them, even though the pen contained at least a half-dozen avowedly homicidal mutants?

-_^

Why is the bed not triangular? #monsterdon

I, for one, am offended at the follicular ableism present in this movie.*

* The mutants are all bald.

#Monsterdon
#BeyondTheTimeBarrier

She's quite the Nepo Baby really, isn't she?

#monsterdon

Triangular wipe-to-black scene change! How futuristic. How very 2024. #monsterdon

She's looking at him like she could pop his head with just a thought, and the power excites her!

#monsterdon

I see they didn't splurge on the good bald caps
#monsterdon

Plague? Oh, hell. It IS 2024.

#Monsterdon

If you had missed the bit where most future people are mute you'd think the air force man had said something terrible to them all, whipped it out at social event or something.

#monsterdon

TRIANGLES! TRIIIIANNNNGLESSSS! #monsterdon

I take it they are going to not engage with any of the interesting linguistic novelties that would come with a mostly deaf mute population, but instead just pretend that peopel don't have the intrinsic need to make themselves understood and understand others #monsterdon

You go to triangle jail! #Monsterdon

this logo is way too complicated. what happened to the good old hammer and sickle i mean uh... eagle? with arrows? love that america

#Monsterdon

So in the future are people supposed to be sorta telepathic?

#monsterdon

oh she's a telepath? are they mostly telepaths?

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

So she reads lips?

#monsterdon

Captain, what do you think of my blackorbs? Be honest. I think they tie the room together. #monsterdon

He was spying on the solarpanels
#monsterdon

is this a Demolition Man demake? #monsterdon

In the future, everyone is deaf and mute. We will see zero examples of actual sign language in this film.

#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon

@blogdiva making everyone not talk turns out to be the most incredible way to save on production costs at only very minimal impact to the plot #monsterdon

@forestine@sunny.garden Dymaxion-approved!
