One of the best films i have seen

best movie i've ever seen.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I watched this as a kid and I loved it. It was actually not easy to find again considering it's age. This teenager, who sells everything he can on Ubid (at the time it was actually a thing 02), is saving up for a car. While going through his father's old junk from down stairs, he stumbles upon an old wooden box that he knocks off a shelf. In the box is a watch. When he presses a button on the watch it "slows down time" not actually stopping it. Moving so fast thru time, accelerating at the speed of a hummingbirds wing flapping, (google it). His father had explained what it does at one point but not explaining in full detail but calling it "Hypertime.His father is the main creator of the watch and knows how to duplicate it but says instead (like all movies) "What would happen if this got into the wrong hands?"As he figures out the watch, a group of men want it to use for their own purpose. (go figure the bad guys). As the teenager uses the watch, he also learns of it's side affects. When in Hypertime, the body is actually accelerating at hyperspeed as well, causing the cells of the body to age faster. 1 minute in reality is close to something like 5 or 10 minutes. 1 hour? almost something close to 2 days or more. As for a story line, a "hero" like based movie, this is a really good movie and deserves a 2nd film but never happened. If you like the concept of Time manipulation you will like this movie.

The previews for this movie were VERY misleading. Some critics deemed it "Back to the Future" for a new generation. To me, this statement is blasphemy. Back to the Future is a classic. The fact that people would compare it to this film is offensive. This movie was not entertaining AT ALL. Am I wrong, or are movies supposed to be entertaining? I respect Jonathan Frakes, but he made a bad decision in directing this terrible movie. Poor acting, stupid plot, and no entertaining elements. Granted, the idea that one could stop time using a watch is somewhat interesting, but the movie did not make it interesting at all. To quote Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down!"

from the beginning I didn't have the highest of expectations for clockstoppers; I knew it was going to be a fantastical fiction that was far from reality. I was simply hoping to sit down, turn off my brain, and be entertained. But come on, this is just insulting. The entire movie is riddled with so many plot holes, I am troubled to think that somebody actually sat down and wrote it. However the acting and special effects are all you could hope for from a Nick movie, and to be honest the ideas behind it are very entertaining. In short, not a bad movie to watch with a young kid, but if you find yourself constantly screaming, "Whhaaaaatt?!?" at your TV, don't say I didn't warn you.

I really enjoyed watching this film. Unique Storyline, great special effects, good actors. Michael Biehn made a brilliant villain, I wish he had been in more scenes in the film as he was the best actor in the film. I loved the special effects when time was slowed down, they were very convincing. Jonathon Frakes has done a great job of this film.
