Synopsis

A secret government research project tries reviving the World War II "Philadelphia Experiment," which was an attempt to create a cloaking device to render warships invisible. When the experiment succeeds, it brings back the original ship (the Eldridge) that disappeared during the first test in 1943 - which brings death and destruction to the 21st century. It's up to the sole survivor of the first experiment and his granddaughter to stop it.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
aquarichy I truly revile stories where people have meaningless dialogue. If you are told by the resident expert on a subject that bombing something will a) not harm it, and b) will rebound and cause 10-fold damage to the surrounding area, and then you do it anyway, and it turns out the expert is right, along with destroying a nuclear power reactor (and presumably a large chunk of the UK?), then having a character continue on their stupid course of action persistently, and murdering everyone who might actually be useful, makes for a very stupid character. This film is 2 hours watching a very stupid character, and being annoyed at the consequences.
Alexandru Alex This director attend to HUMAN INTELLIGENCE when he write this childish high school hipster DIALOGUESvery very unprofessional actors fake every emotionvery very bad movie on of the POST awards of 2012 POS = PieceOfShitdear FRIENDS,this movie is a waste of 80 and some minutes of your LifePLEASE WATCH THE OLDER VERSION,WHERE THE ACTORS ARE ACTORS AND SCENARIO IS 10/10try to understand my review and don't watch thisyou will be disgusted by LOW LOW VOICE ACTINGi don't want to spoil,but this movie sucks in all kind of aspects
Lars-Toralf Storstrand The Philadelphia Experiment Reactivated is a very entertaining and good movie with a plausible connection to the original movie about the Philadelphia Experiment (1984). However, the reintroduction of Michael Paré as a different character than David Herdeg, screws things somewhat up. He didn't change that much.That fact aside, it is fair to say that the film has a decent story, a good plot, but what pulls a little bit down is the poor choice of actors for some of the roles.On the other side the film has its dosage of scare-propaganda towards the positive effects of Nikolae Tesla's inventions. It seems that some people (yes, I know this seems like conspiracy theory) are really scared of Tesla's inventions coming into everyday use by common man.Anyway it is reasonable and good entertainment.
LeonLouisRicci There is still a chance that the Fortean/UFO/Paranormal Community will see a Movie based on the controversial claims about a Naval Experiment in the 1940's to render a Ship invisible to Radar. It is rife with Colorful Characters with Names like Einstein and Tesla inserted into the Lore. There are elements like Time Travel, Invisibility, and Scientific Parlance like Unified Field Theories and Space Time Continuum to spice things up.Books have been Written and Talk Radio has had its share of Researchers, Witnesses, and Believers making various claims and tweaking Imaginations. So the Mythology is Rich and just waiting for someone to climb aboard and do it Justice.So far the 1984 Movie of the same Name is an Entertaining piece of Fluff that is a Fun if Flawed Film. This one is not as good but contains enough of the Story to make it a bit Mystifying but is sunk by its lack of Intelligence and contains only a smidgen of connection to the "Real Life" Experiment. It relies on shoot em ups and is heavy on the Government cliché, lets stop this by blowing things up and if conventional Weapons fail, bring on the Mini-Nukes.Maybe worth a view but this is a Made for TV Movie that wastes a lot of Money on a lot of Hooey and is another one of those Syfy Originals that continues to embarrass the Network and their Name is almost synonymous with the foregone conclusion of Mediocrity.
