YouTube Free Movies: Dimension 5

Today's offering:

Dimension 5


A rather bland, confusing tale of espionage and time travel from 1966. But is the time travel device a ring? A watch? A multidimensional utility belt that really clashes with the hero's checked sports coat?

Yes. Maybe. And indeed. Behold:


Starring Jeffrey Hunter, of Star Trek Capt. Christopher Pike fame. Who also brought over some of the door whooshes and computer noises from Star Trek for this film. May have been trying to borrow some goodwill from the show to help the movie. Certainly borrowed Oddjob from the Bond films for some good karma as well, as the baddie in the wheelchair.

If you want babes, this is a good film, as far as '60s babes go. But if you want explanations of the technology, or of the motivations of some of the characters, well, this probably isn't your kind of film because that kind of stuff they just don't bother with. Or at least they didn't bother with it as I was watching; I was kind of distracted.

Here's the Facebook live summary:






To summarize: A kinda cool sleep-fest. Elements of it were rather snappy, but they don't make up for the undeveloped parts that left me confused.
