Very disappointing...
So much average
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I almost exclusively review time travel or otherwise tripped out sci-fi and this is one of my favs in that vein, but about all I can say is watch it. It's fascinating. It's also fascinating to follow up the viewing with fan diagrams of the plot(s).
Most Complicated Sci Fi Movie Ever Made?? Could be ! Most realistic time travel Movie Ever Made ?? Sure is.. !This has to be one of the coolest, cleverest, and most innovative time travel movies ever made period. Forget Memento, Interstellar or Inception, this movie will screw with your mind big time! You will be confused, might have to see it twice. No actually in fact you need to watch it twice. Or more!!!!This ultra low budge movie succeed where so many time travel movie fail. Making it scientifically sound, accurate and above all it opens the Pandora box of questions such subject raises.
THIS REVIEW IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIEI'll give this one a 4. And I'm being generous. The plot could be explained in 30 seconds. Instead, we are held captive for 80 minutes listening to two young inventors exchange pseudo-scientific, nonsensical, meaningless jargon and intentionally confusing theories and observations. I constantly wondered what their actual footprint in time was, compared to when they first started. Of course, that's what the screenwriter intended so I guess it was a success in some regard. It was a disappointment that the fruits of their labor were never shown--it would have been nice to see them succeed in one of the many investments they made. I found myself waiting for the morbid sense of gloom to be replaced with hope for the two guys. Never happened.Oh and Abe was horribly miscast. David Sullivan looked and acted like a college freshman athlete and all the seemingly intelligent mumbo jumbo was hardly believable, uttered from his lips. They should have at least cleaned him up a little bit and thrown some glasses on him.Ultimately, the psycho-babble exchanges between the two engineers becomes annoying, as you realize it's not meant to progress the story. It's only synthetically dramatic filler. In fact, I don't know who these purposeless verbal exchanges were meant to entertain: Reasonably intelligent people see right through it; and slower or uninterested people certainly couldn't take anything away from it.The movie was unsatisfying on just about every level but, it's graded on a curve and I've seen way worse.
So I saw this movie on a list of "Best under-rated Sci-fi films" or something similar and thought I'd rent it. Well, I'll tell ya, NOT worth the $ to stream it! Aside from the fact the dialogue and audio was terrible, the plot made no sense! I had seen a spoiler and knew what it was leading up to, but it was pretty lame. Hard to keep track of the characters and their names, when things took place and why. My advice, SKIP IT and watch something like "Donnie Darko", which in itself was confusing, but made you think.
