I love this movie so much
Sadly Over-hyped
Admirable film.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Time Lapse: Directed by Bradley King and written by Bradley King and BP Cooper.Time Lapse is a story about three friends who find a giant camera that takes a picture of the future. They are tempted by what it could bring and eventually everything turns out pretty much how you think with the exception of one thing.This is a low budget sci fi movie that uses creativity and ingenuity to better serve without making things look and feel cheap. It takes place between three apartments and a storage room. You understand completely why that is and become invested in the story and the characters. However even with that you see exactly what will happen a mile away with the lone exception being the ending twist.You have three roommates two guys and one girl. The girl and one of the guys are in a relationship that appears to be stagnating. The other guy has shown himself to be a tad untrustworthy and a bit of a gambling addict. You give them the ability of time travel and you know the story already word for word.The performances are really good though. They allow you to believe in what is happening even if you know what that is before it happens. It is still a fairly enjoyable ride. Danielle Panabaker seems a bit one note and doesn't benefit from a a character change late in the proceedings. This movie being as low budget and location closed off as it is lives and dies on the performances and they were able to hold me interested.This is not a bad movie. You don't need to go out of your way to seek it out but if you do decide to watch it, you will be entertained. I give this movie a C.
I don't mean to be rude, but I absolutely hated this movie. I truly wish I could've rated it 0 stars. There was tons of violence and murder that I really wish I could un-see. I thought the story line sounded interesting, but it was not played out well at all. Terrible acting, too. I wasted 2 hours of my life that I can never get back watching something that will most likely give me disturbing dreams.
I liked this movie. It is a fresh exploration into the vagaries of time travel. The results of knowing what shouldn't be known twist the characters psyche, and they take the belief in predetermination to religious proportions.There deep conjecture that drives this movie regards fate and personalities. They suggest that the photos are locked-in premonitions which drives the story for a time. No one can really tell how they'd react to the situation as portrayed so I don't mind going with the writers' characterizations on this point.I also give leeway as there were only short periods of time to make decisions, especially when those decisions began to require massive mental adjustments: murder, cheating, lying, jealousy, fear, anger, confusion, control. Then throw in a handful of pharmaceuticals and things got spiced up quickly. While I think some of the decisions made by the characters were pretty stupid, you have to allow that it might be possible that they'd act this way. If everyone did the logical and intelligent thing you wouldn't get much of a story.I quite like the ending. It is very believable that a person could lose their mind after going through these events.The budget was spent in the right places, and for such a limited set, the story was kept moving and didn't bog down.It is definitely worth a watch.
I have seen plenty of movies, some of them being horribly boring. Time Lapse is unfortunately among the worst movies I have seen in a while. I give it 0 out of 10. For me, the story, the acting, the lines, everything is just terrible. During the movie, I was looking at my watch and after 35-40 minutes of the movie, I almost stopped it. But I continued to watch it. There is no suspense, no thrill, nothing at all. I was not captivated by the whole story line and actions. Maybe my opinion will be harsh for some people, but I don't think that this movie is worth it. I was looking forward to this movie because, at first, the plot looked good, but Time Lapse didn't meet my expectations. I don't really think that this movie is consistent and there were lots of actions that were predictable. The only positive thing that I would say about this film is that the concept of the movie seems interesting. However, it was badly developed and so I only see negative results in the acting and story.
