Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

adonis98-743-186503 Two time travelers with opposing views are sent back to the present aboard a research ship in the Antarctic to prevent a global biological disaster from occuring. Despite Dolph Lundgren's attempts on saving 'Retrograde' is very convoluted and hardly makes any actual sense and believe me back in the day i actually kinda liked it but unfortunately some movies don't quite hold up and this one definitely doesn't. The storyline was a huge mess and i don't mean that in a good way plus Lundgren deserves way better than films like this one. (5/10)

acs0592 Just finished watching Retrograde, and I have to say that it was better then what I thought it would be. Many reviews on here have lamented the movie, but it was enjoyable. Dolph Lundgren (John Foster) is a genetically superior time traveler who is sent back in time to destroy a virus that wipes out humanity. But his crew rebels and he is left to fend for himself. They get to where the ship is that discovers the virus, and Dolph has to destroy it. Along the way there are some fights with the remaining 4 time travelers who are trying to kill Foster.Some good things about this movie is that the cast and directors make the low budget aspect work. The time travel ship is decent, along with all the futuristic gear. Fights are good, some nice Dolph kicks, and quite an interesting story for such a low budget film. But the main downside is the budget as well. If the movie had a bigger budget, I feel like it could of been much better. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. The plot was decent, and it was interesting. Acting besides Dolph was not very good. Its a good movie to kill some time, but I wouldn't see it again.

AnonymousReviewer Even though not on Region 1 DVD, it's worth a look if you like Dolpgh Lundgren movies. It's basically a sci/action movie about time travel to the past to save the earth. Dolph Lundgren is a scientist in this one believe it or not. This seems like a made for television movie, it's a low budget film. What this movie lacks in plot, it gains in action. The space crew wear uniforms that look like motorcycle leathers. Surprised that this didn't have a US release considering how popular direct to video movies are. I also recommend The Mechanik (The Russian Specialist) , starring Lundgren as well. I bought the Region 5 PAL DVD, it has a few trailers (in Russian though). Full frame and 5.1 English Audio sound.

sarastro7 I do not rate a movie a "1" unless it is *offensively* bad, and trust me, this one qualifies.The writing, directing, and editing are comically horrid; many scenes are so badly done that you break out laughing, and no, it's not intentional! Washed-up Dolph is not being paid enough here to even pretend to act, and none of the other actors are helping.The only thing that is half-decent is the special effects, or rather, the sci-fi bits from the future, and the passable intro with the meteors hurtling through space and plunging into the Earth.Everything else about this movie is a total loss and a total waste of life. Don't bother. Please.
