This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I'm a sucker for all things time travel but my initial notion was it would be another low budget shaky handheld cam thing couldn't have been further from the mark. While its not chock full of cool FX the one that are used are convincing enough. The HG Wells flavor kicks in at about the halfway mark and steadily builds until abandoned at the last moment for a less apocalyptic ending. So when you are standing in front of Red Box scratching your head trying to pick something out this would be a solid option.
Had absolutely no expectation of this and the story line could only of went one way really. Saying that the most unexpected thing about this film was genuinely and warmly enjoying the whole thing. Yes they could have gone a bit Black Mirror and daunt us with some horrible realizations, but i'm kind of glad they didnt. Simple.
As a movie special effects veteran of over a decade, from mid 1990s to mid 2000s, I had the pleasure and the pain of contributing to many independent films. Some with micro budgets, some with millions. Every one was a joy to work on and the entire crew and cast was usually quite proud of their work.Sometimes this was honest pride and sometimes you knew the film sucked but wanted it as an add to your resume, so you could go on to better movies and better pay. I can say to the crew and cast of "Time Trap", you did well on this film.Good job, each and everyone of you. As a viewer, I found the time I took to watch this, well spent. As a ex-movie professional, you did an outstanding job crafting a good film. I look forward to the next project from this team.Without giving away too much, to those that haven't watched this film, there is a temporal bubble, which surrounds a cave system. Enter it and time slows down, very down. For the four characters who accidentally enters this effect, it is strange and takes them some time to figure out. Points to the writer that they don't make it easy on them with an ultra wise character who knows all.There is some problems and some things left unsaid in the end. I would have preferred some explanations of what was really happening BUT I would be wrong to want that.Overall, Time Trap delivers a well put together film, worth the time to watch.
Time Trap has a bit of a glossy Hallmark film or Disney teen drama feel to it at times. It also has a few dark moments and the tone feels a bit uneven at times because of it. I wish they would have stuck with the darker and grittier style throughout. If that were the case, I would have given the film a higher rating. Nevertheless, I found Time Trap to be a pretty good lower budget sci-fi film.
