Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick world.
'Yeah even I like it'
When we do these reviews I like to give you the basics of the plot so you can understand the points I'm making.
'We just saw a UFO'
With The Day Time Ended, we'd like to invite you to write in and tell us what the hell is going on with this film.
'It doesn't make any sense at all'
An average family take up residence in their new desert home.
Uncle Owen? Aunt Beru?
'Okay, forget it'
I'm kidding it's not Tatooine, but there is some weird stuff going on.
Mirrors fixing themselves…
earthquakes…
machines starting of their own accord.
#Car starts#
'Dad, isn't that the car?'
I don't think Mensa is saving a place for young Steve.
'Why is light outside?'
With no explanation so far, things get weirder...
and weirder...
'Mummy that's the bad thing I told you about.'
and then dangerous.
The tension builds...
and builds…
until…
'That's strange, it stopped.'
That is strange, as is the fact that it could dissolve a bullet like that,
but spends long minutes making a small hole in a wooden door.
'I wonder why'
'Why' is an important word because we're halfway through and no closer to knowing anything,
you can't just keep escalating the weirdness.
#knock at door#
I wonder who that could be?
It knocked?
Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to see some perfectly decent stop motion animation,
but monsters are now showing up out of thin air and...
'My God.'
Still no explanation.
'Steve, you know what this is don't you?'
How could he know, none of this makes any sense.
'It's a time space warp'
Oh, one of those.
'I'm not sure I know what that is'
Do you not?
'I don't suppose anyone really does'
And yet you confidently categorise this as one and then act pretty condescending to your son for not recognising it.
'I don't get this'
You don't get this?!
'Well, how long do you think it would take to fix it'
They now seem to have been transported somewhere else.
'Look!'
What do you know, it is Tatooine.
But they have lost granddaughter Jenny
and daughter Beth along the way.
'The vortex took them,'
Harrowing scenes.
That's one back
'Where's Jenny?'
'Jenny's fine'
Good, for a minute there I was almost emotionally invested.
'Hey you guys, hurry up!'
So what happened?
'Everything is going to be fine. We're going to be safe'
Who saved you? And who put you in danger?
We're minutes from the end and I don't know either of these things!
'I felt a communication a series of images, after which I knew what was happening to us.'
Ah, now I see why there's no explanation,
I mean how could possibly express a series of images through the medium of film?
'What's going to happen to us now Beth?'
Go on, how much weirder can it get?
Oh, how nice, they're going to live in the merry old land of Oz.
'Maybe this was all meant to be'
Well there's an explanation guaranteed to satisfy the audience of confused, angry and bored people,
now wondering if the title The Day Time Ended was meant to be ironic.
