Nuestros Tiempos

I really wanted to like Our Times, but sadly, it just didn't deliver. The storyline felt like a recycled version of every teen romance cliché out there-mean girls, love triangles, and an over-the-top "bad boy with a heart of gold." It tried hard to be nostalgic and touching, but instead came off as forced and melodramatic.

The pacing dragged in the middle, and the emotional moments felt unearned and manipulative. The characters lacked depth, especially the lead-she's portrayed as quirky and clumsy, but that's not enough to make her relatable or compelling. The ending, while trying to be sweet, felt unrealistic and overly sentimental.

Honestly, I don't understand the hype. If you're looking for a teen romance that feels fresh or sincere, there are better options out there.

I think the genre isn't right; it's not a Sci-fi film. I think it carries a message of gender ideology, and it's not right to categorize it as something it isn't, as that can create false expectations. The film dubbing and makeup, especially at the end, are very poor. But I think the final message, some of the acting, and the essence of the film aren't bad; On the contrary, it sends a very powerful message about the role of women in society, the generation gap, the women relevance in society today, and the path women have taken through the time. And no, I'm not the one who thinks that the movies has to send a message, but I think the message of this movie is a good one.

If you're considering watching this movie, you might want to think twice. From the very first scene, it becomes painfully clear that this film is a mishmash of poor acting, a convoluted plot, and what seems like a budget that barely covered the cost of the snacks for the cast and crew.

The acting is perhaps the most glaring issue. The performances are so wooden that they could easily be mistaken for a high school drama club's first attempt at a serious production. The lead actor delivers lines with all the emotional depth of a cardboard cutout, while the supporting cast seems to be competing for the title of "Most Unconvincing Performance." It's hard to believe that these actors were even given the opportunity to step in front of a camera, as their lack of chemistry and dramatic range makes every scene feel like a chore to watch.

As for the plot, it's a tangled web of clichés and nonsensical twists that leave viewers scratching their heads in confusion. The premise of time travel could have been an exciting concept, but the execution is so poor that it feels more like a series of random events strung together rather than a coherent story. The timeline jumps are jarring, and the attempts at emotional stakes fall flat, leaving audiences feeling more bewildered than engaged. It's as if the writers threw darts at a board of sci-fi tropes and decided to go with whatever landed closest, resulting in a narrative that lacks any real substance or originality.

The production quality is another area where this film falters. The special effects are laughable, reminiscent of early 2000s television shows rather than a feature film. It's clear that the budget was minimal, and the lack of investment is evident in every frame. The sound design is equally subpar, with awkward audio transitions and background music that feels out of place, further detracting from any potential immersion in the story.

In conclusion, this movie is a disheartening example of how not to create a time travel drama. From the lackluster performances to the nonsensical plot and cheap production values, it's hard to find any redeeming qualities. If you're in the mood for a quality film that explores the complexities of time travel, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. Save your time and money-this is one movie that should be left in the past.

A brilliantly subversive and thought-provoking Mexican time-travel genre, this film masterfully blends sharp social commentary with inventive storytelling. Rather than getting bogged down in overly technical sci-fi mechanics, it wisely focuses on its characters and themes, using time travel as a powerful metaphor to explore systemic sexism and female resilience. The result is a movie that's as intellectually engaging as it is emotionally resonant far from mere 'nonsense,' it's a bold statement on gender, power, and legacy.

The film's clever narrative structure keeps viewers invested, weaving together past and present in a way that highlights the enduring struggles women face. While some may dismiss its political messaging as heavy-handed, the truth is that its critiques are timely, incisive, and delivered with biting wit. The characters' financial and logistical challenges (like subway fares) aren't plot holes but deliberate choices, emphasizing the real-world obstacles women navigate daily-details that ground the story in relatable reality.

Movie has fairly simple premise. Married pair of scientists travel from 1966 to 2025 and encounter vastly different society. They want to go back, but do they really?

Movie doesn't waste time on explaining mechanics of time travel, which is a good call as trying to make it more scientifically grounded often runs into series of problems. They just explain the very basics and say "this is how it works".

Main focus is about adapting to changed society. Early in the movie we are told repeatedly how chauvinistic society is and how woman scientist is taken less seriously. But in 2025 she is. So would she be willing to go back to her old life if her new life can be so much better?

In that way it's not so much of a sci-fi, time traveling movie but look into people "out of their time". But unlike movies where person goes into the past and brings "advanced" views this one reverses it and they bring "old fashioned" views into present.

It's an OK movie to watch, just don't expect it to be sci-fi heavy.
