Grand Tour: Disaster in Time Movie Review

“Grand, simply grand.” The aliens visiting Jeff Daniels’ midwestern inn are among the most terrifying ever put on film. They have no superpowers. They do not wish to rule our planet. Worse, they are tourists so bored with their perfect world that they have become disaster junkies, time-traveling to catch such cataclysmic events as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Hindenberg crash, and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Starts off slow, but things pick up after Daniels is given some friendly words of advice: “Leave. Today. Take your family and do not come back until you're absolutely certain it is safe.” David Twohy went on to direct The Arrival. AKA: Disaster in Time.

1992 (PG-13) 98m/C Jeff Daniels, Ariana Richards, Emilia Crow, Jim Haynie, Nicholas Guest, Marilyn Lightstone, George Murdock; D: David N. Twohy; W: David N. Twohy. VHS, LV ACA
