| Does anyone know the name of this movie It's an old 80's sci fi movie I saw as a kid. This is what I remember: A scientist travels to a different world by some machine he invented. Some guy follows him a few hours later and a girl goes threw it a few minutes after the guy. In the new world she runs into the guy and he said he had been there a week (time is faster in this world). They both began searching for the scientist (he had been there for a few years). Some blue guy is in the move, I think he was helping them. The scientist was known as a wizard by all the people in this world. Some of the detail may be wrong it has been 15 years since I saw it. If you have any idea of what I'm talking about please email me at lanum_77@yahoo.com Thank You Lanum ps. underscore is seperating lanum from 77 on my email address |

| You could try a search on the Internet Movie Database www.imdb.com Among other methods, you can search by decade so, if you know that it's an 80s film, that should narrow it down a bit. |

| Re: Does anyone know the name of this movie Sheesh, I like to consider myself a bit of an authority on these matters, and I'm stumped! Early '80s? Late '80s? What country is it from? Sure it wasn't a really "visual" kinda book you read? (heh) I think "Journey To The Centre of Time" had blue-skinned people from the future in it, time travel etc...I might have to crack a few beers & watch that one again to double-check (heh heh)...but hell, that was from way back in '67!? |

| Re: Does anyone know the name of this movie Quote:
I went to IMDB and tried various searches - keyword, plot, etc. Finally I thought a systematic search by year (starting at 1980). I then discovered that there were 653 films listed for that year alone. Without some extra info, I don't think you've got much hope. Unless, as Aeolus hints, that you might have the wrong decade. | |

| Re: Does anyone know the name of this movie Hey, I just checked with my Hollywood contacts...the film you're after is Prisoners Of The Lost Universe ('83). And it was a green guy, not a blue guy (apparently...I haven't seen it!). |

| Re: Does anyone know the name of this movie Hi all, I just wanted to say this scenario amazingly ressembles the one of a 1999 PC game named 'Outcast'. --> If you liked the movie, play the game (wich is excellent BTW). |
