The History of Time Travel

This was a good, funny, and entertaining movie. I even went back and watched some of it over again to catch a few of the details. 8,9,10 stars though?! That's a bit much. For a fake documentary that doesn't have much acting or cinematography involved, I think a 7 is about as perfect a score as you can get. Overall, it's worth the watch and I'd recommend giving it a chance.

Yup it's low budge... but a really fun concept. Especially for nerds like me. Takes a left turn a few minutes in so you have to pay attention. Props to the film makers for weaving a good story with no $$$$$. Kind of a less stylish La Jetée....and in case you don't know La Jetée ( look it up) was the original inspiration for 12 monkeys.

The general idea of the film is one unlike much else I've ever seen. It approaches time travel first as a thing of the past and moves gradually into the future, finishing with a twist that is, unfortunately, somewhat predictable after the 30-40 minute mark. The first half is, however, very good; I think its only hindrance is some of the onscreen characters who tend to be a bit wooden. After the initial act of time travel, however, I think the plot tanks a bit. I will say that the ending is about as good as it could've been, considering it was salvaged from a subpar climax/mid-plot.

All-in-all, it's certainly worth the time necessary to watch this. If nothing else, the concept it manifests is inarguably neat; that is, making a (faux) documentary about a fact, about a theory. It's not the most fun viewing experience and there's not much to offer in terms of visuals or acting, but it'll take your brain for a bit of a ride and probably leave you imagining what the movie would have been like had it reached its potential. I definitely recommend it to anyone is interested in time travel theories or who just wants something unique to watch.

This is a documentary about time travel. It has less action than the documentary "Safety Not Guaranteed," which I really enjoyed. But I found this film way more subtle and just as fun. I've been around since 1960 and have never even heard of this film. Was it recently added to the time-stream? Pay attention to the visual and narration details. Sure there are plot holes and I'm sure you will find continuity issues, but isn't that the part of the mystique? Just relax and enjoy the finished product. I don't even think it's based on a real series of events....

I have thought about this great little film, on and off, ever since I saw at the Phoenix Film festival several years ago, and finally it is now streaming on Amazon prime. Check it out while you can and you will not be disappointed.

I don't want to say too much about it except that it's a little bit sci-fi in nature and very clever, but it's so much more than that really. That's it, don't want to give anything away. Enjoy!
