Counter Clockwise

This is very stylish film, perhaps a little heavy handed in its surreal filming, but it's populated by a very human cast, that brings it all down to earth. Nice questions raised, which are never really fully answered, and gives you a nudge to sort it out for yourself. I think it asks a lot from the audience, which is why the low score on here. I never do much reviewing, but I thought I'd put this one up, because if you've not seen this you really should check it out.

From the outset, one can tell it's a very low budget movie. Nevetheless, some great films such as Cube (1997) were very low budget and had a fantastic end product.

I found this movie hard to follow. Wasn't really sure what was going on or what the plot was trying to achieve. I did figure the main protagonist was stuck in a time loop hence multiple versions of himself but in the end it could have been an infinite perpetual loop.

Some of the graphics/computing effects looked as if they stemmed from the 80's/90's at times. Perhaps that was intentional to give an industrial feel, but for me, reinforced that low budget feeling.

I am a fan of Michael Kopelow hence I gave this a watch. I haven't seen him run that fast since he was cast as 'Joe' in The Stoned Age! I was rooting for Joe when he was running away from the villains!

Anyway, I may give this another watch. I think it deserves that as I am going through a trawl of watching indy films, rather than the Hollywood blockbusters!

I really love films concerning time travel so was looking forward to watching this. Unfortunately it was a mess. I know nothing about making films or directing but even I could tell it was badly edited and poor techniques. It really felt like a school project than an actual film.

Other reviewer has compared it to Primer but at least that film looks professional and is actually a decent if complex film to watch.

Anyway I would avoid this film. It really is a mess with poor acting, poor editing and a plot that makes no sense and is unbelievable. The numbers going across the computer screen when they use the "teleport" is 1980s portrayal of computers.

This is an indie sci-fi time travel / psychological thriller movie with an obviously low budget. The action scenes in particular could be more convincing but they contribute to the whole in a weird sort of way.

As a nerd I happened to love this movie, especially the way it made me laugh at certain things and because I thought those were the things the director wanted me to laugh at! You may or may not catch some of the details that made me enjoy it more, but a mind for subtleties is surely required to appreciate the this work.

Recommended especially for people that have, or like to think they have, a degree of OCD.
