Love is the one emotion that transcends the limitation and boundaries of space and time. It's even powerful enough to physically bend the fabric of time and space itself. Set in the 23rd century, "The Bio-Dome Project" shows that love always prevails. Michelle Thomas is a luminous architect with great values, high conviction in her beliefs and loyalty to her heart. When she brings her latest idea to a company for backing, she meets a single C.E.O., who falls madly in love with her. However, there is a callused figure that will hamper their love, relationship and the project itself. At present, there are eight million people living on the moon, humanity has taken a peaceful turn for the better. Life is easier, calmer and the world is at one with ea! ch other. As the progress for the project furthers, threats arise from unknown origins. Tracking these threats down, is the work of CeeCee, a diligent, faithful computer. Will she find the source of this evil plot in time to save the project? Will events get so bad, that everything the world has worked for be in jeopardy? Welcome to "The Bio-Dome Project"! Starring Pauly Shore, Encino Man unearths the biggest laughs in 2 million years! The fun kicks off when two high school buddies dig up a frozen caveman in their backyard! Once the living fossil thaws out, the friends figure he's their ticket to being cool. But the plan backfires when the newcomer turns everyday life upside down, generating pre-hysterical craziness wherever he roams! Co-starring Sean Astin (Bulworth) and Brendan Fraser (The Mummy), you'll definitely dig Encino Man-- the totally irreverent, totally awesome comedy that shows just how hilariously out-of-control things evolve once t! he stone age meets the rock age head-on!Brendan Fraser made hi! s film d ebut in this 1992 comedy that never quite discovers its audience constituency. On the one hand, it features Pauly Shore, which would seem to define the picture's tone and identity accordingly. On the other hand, the film's other leading man is Sean Astin, the earnest star of Rudy, suggesting that Encino Man will have a lot of heart despite its silly premise. But none of that turns out to be true. Fraser plays an unfrozen caveman discovered by a pair of California high school outcasts (Shore and Astin). As the grunting newcomer becomes popular with the other kids, Shore and Astin try to bask in his reflected glow. Fraser, beginning a long movie career playing cartoonish goofballs, works entirely on instinct and earns his laughs. Shore, however, relies on his familiar verbal shtick, and Astin makes a great overgrown puppy pining after a lost girlfriend. Directed by Les Mayfield, who came to this project from his acclaimed documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Fil! mmaker's Apocalypse. --Tom Keogh
