Timemaster is a 1995 American film written and directed byJames Glickenhaus and starring Jesse Cameron-Glickenhaus,Pat Morita,Joanna Pacula andDuncan Regehr. It also featuresMichelle Williams in one of her first theatrical roles.
Young Jesse is the Earth's last line of defense andtravels through time trying to stop an alien threat.
Timemaster was written and directed byJames Glickenhaus and stars his own son,Jesse Cameron-Glickenhaus [fr].[1] James also wrote some songs for the movie's soundtrack. This was the last film released byShapiro-Glickenhaus Entertainment, before they disbanded in 1995. It is also Glickenhaus's last feature film before he retired from the industry.[2]
The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews. In theTV Guide, the reviewer said that "the utterly disintegrated plot line gives one the feeling that the narrative merely went wherever sets became available, from a smoky biker bar to a mockup of the White House kitchen to a magnificent chalet platform in the mountains, suddenly invaded by commandos for a 007-style chase/gun battle on skis".[3]
The film has been described as a "scrap-heap of pasted-together and semi-coherent genre clichés".[1]
A short review on the German site TV Today stated however, "The time jumps are a bit confusing, but the 'family production' (author and director Glickenhaus filmed with his own children) has a lot of charm and is as dazzling as a comic."[4]
Timemaster was nominated for "Best Genre Video Release" in the22nd Saturn Awards.[5]
ALD version was released in 1996.[6]
