Past and present collide

A secret government research project tries reviving the World War II "Philadelphia Experiment," which was an attempt to create a cloaking device to render warships invisible. When the experiment succeeds, it brings back the original ship (the Eldridge) that disappeared during the first test in 1943 - which brings death and destruction to the 21st century. It's up to the sole survivor of the first experiment and his granddaughter to stop it.

I want to give props to Nicholas Lea, the man can act, and he can really sell the role he's playing...even if he is in an absolutely horrible movie. So, big hats off to him for bringing his A-Game to this. He made the movie tolerable and I was actually able to finish it because of him. However, well, the special effects showed too much. Had they hid it in the darkness more they could have saved money, made it look better, and it wouldn't have come across so much like a early 90s made for TV flick. And it felt that good chunks of the script were written around the special effects and...that didn't help at all. So the end result was a bad remake of a decent film (one that was clearly low budget and still managed to pull it off by NOT featuring a ton of FXs, with a horrible script... ...but a horrible script that had a fun cameo by Michael Pare for people like me...and a horrible script that Nicholas Lea still managed to sell despite having some of the dumbest and most misplaced lines imaginable.
