FFFA: Escape from the 21st Century
A blast of midnight movie madness with surprising emotional resonance. ” Next Best Picture (NBP)
This eye-popping, time-jumping adventure is like Scott Pilgrim vs the World mixed with Everything Everywhere All at Once, turned up to 11.
It’s 1999 on the planet K, 3,000 lightyears from Earth. Three teenagers have a mishap with some chemical waste, which grants them the unique ability to sneeze their consciousness 20 years ahead in time. Unfortunately, in the future they’re not really friends anymore and their lives have taken a turn for the worse. The teenagers decide to try and figure out how to use their new powers to change their futures – while saving the world in the process.
This is super-maximalist, larger-than-life, midnight movie fun that you don’t want to miss seeing with a big crowd. There’s Street Fighter II-style martial arts action, satisfying needle-drops from Bonnie Tyler and Joan Baez, and a surprisingly emotional message. Lean into the absurdity of the time travel logic, and you’re in for a wild ride.
