Probably a bit of a silly film but it appeals to our silly sense of humour

a good film action abounds in this film not a good story line though has good value for money well acted and i think as its biggles a lot of people will buy it,
I remember renting the video Biggles - Adventures In Time, and back then it caught the imagination of time travel. The music is from one of the best decades the 80's, but the film itself, shows that anything is possible and you too could have a time twin somewhere. James Bigglesworth was an inspiration in the 60's a excellent english pilot, who had so many adventures, but to be stuck with an american who gets flung back in time everytime biggles has a problem, can burst the bubble of his heroics. But... When Biggles has to come to the aid of Jim Ferguson (his time twin)in the 80's you get a new adventure, and seeing as biggles can fly they steal a helicopter. All in all the film is great for adventure and laughs, and the problems that Jim Ferguson faces in the present day and in 1917 is great, but to throw more entertainment in, Jim's girlfriend jumps back with him once, thinking she has gone insane or mental. Couple of queries though. How did the Germans invent a sound machine of such high quality, back in 1917. Where did they get the "igloo" made from tiles for the space shuttle in 1917. and Why didn't the mysterious Mr. Raymond (Biggles's commanding officer) remember that they had destroyed the sound machine. All in all a great film full of laughs with the one liners, and just when you thought a wedding was going to be happy sailing, you better think again. The way the film ends leaves you with an idea of a sequel, but obviously this wasn't to be. Great film, great laughs, one of those childhood classics, on DVD, and yes my family love it.Read full review
Nostalgia... I remember watching this movie as a much younger man, having always been a fan of the adventures of Captain Bigglesworth in print. I worried that the film would look dated and not stand up to the wonderful memories I had of it. Fortunately these fears were not realised as I was drawn into a world of wartime heroes, dastardly villains and some entertaining 1980s special effects. For anyone that read the adventures as a child I would heartily reccomend this movie. Neil dickson (as the titular hero) brings biggles to life on the big screen in a way that no one else could. A cracking story, that drags you along for an exciting ride, you certainly wont be left feeling dissatisfied. So go on re-capture your youth and bag a copy of Biggles- Adventures in time today!!!
