Reviews

Critical reception of Time Burst: The Final Alliance has been mixed to negative. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 4.2/10, reflecting a largely unfavorable viewer response. Reviewers often cite the film’s convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters as key weaknesses. Some critics have pointed out its overreliance on special effects which, while ambitious for the era, sometimes overshadow the narrative coherence. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critic score for this title, but user comments frequently mention the film's pacing issues and inconsistent tone. Metacritic lacks an official score as well, indicating limited mainstream critical engagement upon release. However, some science fiction fans appreciate the movie for its nostalgic charm and its attempt to tackle complex time-travel concepts within the constraints of late 1980s filmmaking. Overall, Time Burst is considered a cult curiosity rather than a mainstream success.
