Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Faced with not graduating unless he completes his science project, a high school gear-head sneaks into a nearby Air Force base, looking for some gizmo he can pass off as his own invention. What he finds is an alien energy device that rips holes in both time and space, infesting the school with everything from dinosaurs to the Viet Cong. Writer-director Jonathan Betuel tries to mine some of the same veins as Weird Science and Real Genius (all three films were released in 1985) but with less success--mostly due to a slapdash script. The film veers from being The Breakfast Club to WarGames to Rambo, leaping over plot holes all the way. As the hero, John Stockwell is too low-key for his own good, but Danielle Von Zerneck is appealing as his emerging love interest, and Fisher Stevens and Raphael Sbarge do their best to inject some life into the material. Dennis Hopper (as a hippie-dippie science teacher) chews the scenary with gusto--and at one point shows up wearing the costume he wore in Easy Rider. --Geof Miller

This is one of my favorite 80's movies. It's cute and funny. Dennis Hopper gives his all in this too.

My Science Project
Great movie for its time but you have to be old enough to understand. The special effects were great for its time. Good movie would recommend it to anyone.
Rating: - Absolutely awful
Not only is the DVD a poor reproduction but to add insult to injury this movie is in letterbox which destroys two-thirds of your screen. If there was ever an awful movie, this movie takes the academy award for being just gosh awful. This piece of trash is a waste of time and money. As if to make everything really awful, the night scenes black out the screen and all you have is sound. What a disaster!
