Blast from the Past (1999)

★★★1/2

Adam had a pretty good childhood with loving parents but the only problem is that he has been raised in an underground fallout shelter for 35 years when his parents mistaken a plan crash for the a nuclear bomb. Now, after almost 4 decades he has been assigned to go up on the surface world to get medicine for his ill dad and a lot has changed since the 60’s. Especially since his whole world has been the artificial 1960’s. As I already explained a while ago I love movies that have characters taken out of their elements and this is no exception. It’s a well-made, funny, whimsical film that really puts the 60’s ideologies with the 90’s culture. Brendon Frasier is fantastic and really nails his portrayal as a shy, naïve young man.
