One would think if one had any control over time whats-so-ever, one could have used those powers to speed up the movie just a tad. It crawls along at less than a snail's pace.
Honestly, I am only 1/2 way through the movie and already it seems I have been watching it for an eternity. Hopefully something eventually noteworthy happens.
Since I've yet to see the end, there are no "spoilers" involved here but based on what I've seen so far, I am guessing it will meet the two criteria of a "chick flick". 1. Nothing much happens during the movie. 2. One of the main "nice" characters must die in the end.
Again... That is just a mid-movie prediction... not a spoiler.

If you watch this movie, try to forget about the average acting and very low production costs. Just let the story unfold, you might be in for quite a surprise. I thought most ideas for time travel movies had been done, I was wrong. This movie had me thinking about for hours after it ended. Well done.
Where it lacks in big budget special effects, it makes up for in suspense. Just when you think "what the hell is going on", it leaves you with "now it makes sense". It's cerebral. If that type of story isn't for you, then you won't get it.
Interesting story and really nice dialog choices at times - and yet it never really was able to engage me and I reckon that will be true for most people who may decide to watch this low budget effort. Time travelling is a tough subject - no matter how it is used. It can be a great tool for excitement one way or the other for viewers.
While there are some nice moments and touches, I would just call this a decent effort. You may feel differently one way or another. In this case I'm middle of the road ...
