Goofs
When the characters return to their lab, they find they are unable to move any matter. Yet the characters are still able to move and breathe. If they were actually unable to affect any matter, as they clearly establish and go to lengths to explain, the air would not move out of the way when they walked nor would it move in/out of their lungs.

Quotes

Danny McKee, the Electrician: Of course, I like you. You're a beautiful girl.
Reena: Oh, that! Beauty is only skin deep.
Danny McKee, the Electrician: Well, it's deep enough. What do you want - a lovely liver?

Actually Quite Good

In 1964, a group of scientists create a portal that takes them to a barren, mutant inhabited, Earth in the year 2071.

The general assumption is that if a film is picked to be on "Mystery Science Theater", it must be a bad movie. And more often than not, this is correct. They really have found the worst of the worst. But "Time Travelers" is not one of them.

Yes, some of the acting is a bit silly, and there to plenty to make fun of. Some of the science does not really make very much sense. But you have to be impressed by the work that went into the androids. Wow. For what was likely a very low budget, the androids come off as some quality work. And mixing in a few clever tricks of the camera turns simple scenes into complex ones.
