Borrowing Time is an homage to 1940's serial adventure films, and concerns the exploits of two victorian aliens, attempting to make sense of an abandoned planet Earth. Allong the way they discover the last man on Earth, an army of stop motion animated termites, and a devious plot by an alien who deals in intangibles. The Aliens have manners, the ships fly on wires, the computers employ large calibrated knobs. This film is less Science fiction, and more the distilation of everything charming in outdated serial adventures, which has been lost.
