Voyagers
View(s):Voyagers is an American movie based on time-travel. Voyagers, (according to the movie) are time-travellers who fix errors in history with the help of a guide book and a hand-held watch-like time-travel device called an Omni.
Voyager Phineas Bogg (played by John Erik-Hexum) falls into an apartment in 1982 where an eleven year old orphan called Jeffrey Jones (played by
Meeno Peluce) lived. Jeff’s dog Ralph, suspecting this to be a thief, attacks Bogg. But Bogg holds his guide book as cover and Ralph snatches it. Jeff tries to stop Ralph but accidentally falls off the apartment. Bogg leaves the guide book and jumps to catch Jeffrey just as they both disappear in time.
Voyagers are supposed to be strong ‘cause they fall into different countries and times. The Omni has a red light and a green light. In the theme song Bogg says:
“When the Omni’s red it means history is wrong.”
So when everything is settled the Omni flashes green. Jeffrey enjoys being a voyager because his father was a history professor.
Voyagers is an enjoyable film based on history too. So if you have Internet, go to ‘You tube’ and type Voyagers Episode I. It’s sure to come.
