Idaho Transfer (1973)

Take off your pants and be transfered to the future .............

You can discuss cerebral this and creative that until the cows come home, but in the end, "Idaho Transfer" must be regarded as pure crap. I hate to seem like "Captain Obvious", but this is nothing more than hippies wandering around in the desert, talking nonsense. The word tedious immediately comes to mind. There is zero character development, and there is never a hint of explanation for the time travel device. Beyond that there are extended scenes, like improving your rock skipping technique, that are criminally boring. Sure it's low budget, but so are lots of other films, so that is no excuse for this terminally comatose minimalist nonsense. Recommended, for sleep inducement. - MERK
