“Beyond the Time Barrier” is a science fiction film
from 1960. Scheming time travellers, mutants on a rampage and a small band of
survivors holding out in an underground city are some of the ingredients. So
far, the concept sounds familiar!
This time, a cosmic virus triggered by radioactive dust in the atmosphere, rather than an actual World War III, is what destroys most of humanity. A USAF test pilot from pre-apocalypse days somehow ends up in the mutant-ridden future, and must travel back to 1960 to warn the world's leaders about the impending disaster. The bad guys all seem Russian or German…
While the concept isn't all that bad, the execution is low-budget, and “Beyond the Time Barrier” never really takes off. Not an outright turkey, but not a really god film either. Only two stars.
