Too much of everything
Let's be realistic.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I tried, I really did. I got three quarters of the way through this thing and finally gave up. dont waste 90 minutes of your life to see this awful movie. The plot is about ... honestly I can't remember....
This is wonderful attempt with a very low budget movie. The Paradox is clear and we see no loophole. Clearly executed. Don't know why it is very low rated in IMDB.Some area the acting was very low with CG. But that is ok, this is low budget movie. We can't expect a more realistic CG work. It is all about the mindset.The story is good, the twists are all awesome. Great and good movie to watch.
It's just a shame, that a movie that could have actually been quite good breaks it's own neck. But I'll get to that in the next paragraph, which is where the spoilers will be too. So you've been warned twice about those, not that I think many will care with a B-movie like this. And that's something you always have to keep in mind. We're not talking De Niro performances or A-List script. Know what you watch, rate considering those facts.Having said all that, the time travel concept is not an easy one to pull off. But the movie is pretty decent, all the things making sense to some degree (going back and forth in time). But there is also the viewer who can see through it. When we see our guy chasing after a bad guy who goes into the elevator, quite a few will know what's up. Which is being completely distorted and destroyed by an unbelievable ending. An ending that makes no sense and is just there to shock us ... why?
It is not a good movie, but fun to watch. The idea of time travel can have some promising story lines and this movie tries to incorporate some of these ideas (Casual loops, Novikov self- consistency principle). The execution of the time travel loops is a bit shabby and you have to pay attention because it is easy to miss a "plot" point due to the fast pacing. Especially towards the end of the movie I couldn't follow exactly what was going on... to fast and also bad writing.The story has a lot of loose threads, silly plot twists, very bad dialogue and useless sub-plots (why incorporate the cop/NSA plot into it and not keep it focused on the time travel loops?). Writers could have done a better job on this one, but I still was compelled to keep watching and was interested in how it worked out in the end because time travel can be awesome (Primer, anyone?).Zoë Bell kicks some ass and adds a bit of talent to the cast, but most of the acting is not believable. Especially the "main" character (though the actor didn't have a lot of great material to work with) does a bad job.
