Blast is finally a squandered opportunity, a lot of situation with very little comedy.

Blast From the Past saves its best for first.

Fraser is the sweet, goofy engine that drives this movie. The script doesn't do enough with his reactions to a world that bears little relation to the Cold War planet Adam has been told about, but Fraser still manages to suggest volumes.

Garish and not funny enough, Wilson's shapeless satire plods on, squandering its nice premise and its appealing actors. Miraculously, Fraser has a force field around him and manages to radiate energy in this comic black hole.

Thanks to a clever script, tight direction, a first-rate cast and the dynamite combination of Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, Blast from the Past blows away the recent crop of romantic comedies.

That's a relatively clever set-up for what's become a familiar genre: the time-displacement comedy, in which we get a kick out of viewing our era through another era's eyes. But this movie's eyes, Adam's, are awfully twinkly and not too focused.

Audience Reviews for Blast From the Past

Jun 29, 2012Blast from the Past is a quirky fish-out-of-water story with a unique twist. In the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis the Webbers lock themselves in a fallout shelter, mistaking a plane crash for a nuclear strike, and emerge 35 years later to a strange new world. The film has a fun cast that includes Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Dave Foley, and Christopher Walken. But the acting is uneven, and the actors don't have much chemistry. However, things come together in the second half of the film and it manages to delivery some touching moments. Blast from the Past is a charming and campy film that has a few issues but still manages to be fun and entertaining.Dann M Super Reviewer

May 01, 2011t has some things i like about it like the beginning 35 minutes with the whole, them being in a bomb shelter for 35 years, and i liked some of the jokes after the 35 minutes but overall it was just an average comedy film.Michael E Super Reviewer
