Seems a bit of snobbery in the reviews here about how much they understand the ins and ours of time travel, therefore it's an Amazing film.
well, you don't, you would understand the paradoxical levels in this film are implausible.
That aside, it IS a movie, it's there to be enjoyed and not scrutinised for everything that is fact, not fiction.
personally I enjoyed the film, though there are loopholes and giant cracks of sci fact, not sci fi, the premise is quite original. I would watch again, it won't win any Oscars or pull up any trees in the advancement of cinema, but it's an enjoyable and thought provoking piece
If you're planning watching this one you can't be too picky. Linda Hamilton "the big name of this movie" is just poster filling and only appears a couple minutes, Zach Avery on the other hand has a bigger role and is annoying to watch. To me he's basically a mediocre actor, at least in this movie where his bad acting shows. Not the whole cast is bad but there are for sure no future Oscar winners here. The story itself is a bit complicated to follow and is a bit far fetched even for a sci-fi. I can't say I really enjoyed this one, just sat through the story waiting for it to end.
It's an exciting mystery where there's always something we don't know. At the end, I'm not even sure we got all the answers.
There is one scene that is too long and too depressing, complete with terrible new age music. I was worried the whole movie would be like this because I didn't bother to read the summary.
But then things change drastically, and for the better. First there is more new age music with what I would describe as footage from those science movies we watched in school.
Helen is on the run, and the movie just got more fun. The new age music has changed to what was probably called "space music" in the 60s.
During an exciting car chase, someone got really creative with camera work when a vehicle rolled over. But it's like that Schwarznegger movie where he somehow ended up in the real world and discovered pain for the first time. The characters don't seem to feel pain or get hurt.
Speaking of Schwarznegger, one of his best-known co-stars, Linda Hamilton, plays a college professor. Yes, Helen's a science and math nerd. Too pretty to be one, but when she and Alex start doing complicated math puzzles she gets so excited. Lyndsy Fonseca gives a good performance, going from depressed to frightened to excited. And she shows a lot of determination.
There are serious moral questions. Someone wants revenge and we have an explosion, but I'm not sure why.
There are flashbacks and scenes involving science experiments that I didn't quite understand.
Other than her, I don't know that there's anything special with the acting.
Is it family friendly? As usual for movies like this, the sound goes out and a character's mouth is blurry in many cases. Other than that, I don't know that there's anything to be too concerned about.
I would compare this to a TV-movie or an episode of a TV series, but it's entertaining enough.

Being into time travel movies I decided to give this one a go despite the number of bad reviews here.
I was not disappointed.
Yes, it's a low budget movie, there are no fantastic special effects and some of the acting is below par - but once the story grabs you it doesn't let go til the end credits roll.
Not the best film I have seen this year but interesting enough to make me want to watch it to the end.
And despite what other reviewers have said, the ending does make sense but only if you use your brain.
Zach Avery's acting was like a cancer to this movie. Every time he was on screen it died a little more. Good god, how did he make it past the auditions?
Lyndsy Fonseca did a fine job with the sub-par lines and direction, so it may have been an fun, but throw-away average movie if it wasn't for Zach Screen Cancer Avery who did his best version of Lenny von Dohlen's "Miles" from Electric Dreams (circa 1984).
It's so bad, in fact, that it has prompted this, my first IMDB review.
Avoid.
