Unidentified Flying Oddball

I was in the second grade when this came out. I remember seeing the commercials/trailers and hoping to see it as I was into Disney movies and and science fiction. It never happened.

Fast forward decades later and I finally see it on Disney+, I was not impressed.

Yeah, yeah, one could say I saw it through adult eyes and took the film too seriously, not even close.

It was not written very well. Again, I love SciFi and time travel stories are at the top of my faves, but this wasn't anything special.

Very good premise of a present day astronaut traveling back in time to King Arthur's court, but how they executed it left little to be desired.

I get it that it was supposed to be funny, but even comedies need good writing.

Even as a kid, I was able to pick up on well written work on TV and the big screen. I would not have been able to appreciate this movie if I saw it as the kid who always wanted to see it at the time.

This movie was a good idea that turned out lukewarm.
