Timestalkers (1987 TV Movie)
Laughable

Warning: Spoilers
Hate to be a naysayer--No, actually, I don't--but this is a laughable time-travel story. The gimmick of coming up to a fence, going back in time to before the fence was built, crossing the future perimeter, then returning to the present, is a ridiculous waste of time-travel energy. However, the fact that the good guys don't go back in time to warn the general about his killer does not bother me. As Robert Silverberg proved in his great time-travel-novel-cum-thought-experiment, "Up The Line," if you try to go back five-minutes to change what just happened--and you fail--you will only get into more trouble, especially if you run into yourself five minutes ago! A plain silly, highly implausible movie. Nobody's performance is their best. (And I do like Lauren Hutton.) A much better movie is "Back to the Future 3"--or, for that matter, any of the three BTTF movies.
