Sci-fi weepy romance about modern Rip Van Winkle.
A Sweet Fanasy that wears it's heart on it's sleeve
Sappy but engaging.
Decent romance mixed with 1950s-ish sci-fi.
Probes the anguish of not being able to share the experiences of one's life with the person that we love.
In a tragic bit of prophetic irony Gibson stars in a sci-fi romcom wherein a guy with career potential awakens from deep sleep only to find himself without a career and without friends. "Now what," he wonders. The film goes nowhere too.
