The title comes from an advertisement posted in a Seattle newspaper - "Wanted. Someone to go back in time with me ... Must bring your own weapons"
Fueled by that alluring advertisement, a journalist and two interns from the newspaper set off to track down the individual who posted the ad, and find out more about the proposition.
The film is ultra-low budget, but not in a way that detracts from the story.
Rather than being a sci-fi extravaganza, it's a warm look into what makes an apparently unbalanced individual tick - he claims he's time-traveled once before, after all - and how one of the interns gets involved in the preparations for a trip back in time. It turns out - as it often does - to be the scent of a woman that's enticing the main protagonist to risk life and limb in a home made time-traveling, er, boat.
It hardly requires a 3D cinema experience to enjoy this - my iPad aboard a trans-Atlantic flight was enough for me - but it's nevertheless worth watching. If nothing else, to see whether there's anything to this offer.
