Goofs
Ever since the development of nuclear weapons, it has become clear that it is not possible to keep major scientific breakthroughs of that kind a secret forever. Sooner or later, somebody else will have the same idea and eventually the breakthrough will be replicated. This is an especially prominent concept in the world of science and engineering, where Mal and Jabir are rooted. Yet none of the protagonists ever mention the prospect in the movie, even though they managed to achieve the breakthrough with minimal funding while government agencies have infinitely greater resources to work with.

Interesting idea, no resolution.

I'll save you the time: it has no resolution. I hate non-endings, open endings or whatever it is called when writers/directors can't commit to an ending. Don't know what to write as an ending? Let's make it super cool and make the audience figure it out!!! Argh. I am very much annoyed by these "endings", so I wanted to warn you so that you can skip it or at least have realistic expectations.

Imagine the ending of "The Good Son" where you don't know which kid the mom decides to drop at the cliff scene. That they just cut to her pondering her choices (unknown to you) at the end. Lame, right? Anti-climatic.

Pros: I really enjoyed seeing Judy Greer as the main character because I love her acting, but other than that, meh.

I love time-travel stories and I'll suspend belief in whatever you tell me the workings of the machine/ mind time travel entail. I did like the premise of it and found it interesting but with no ending, all the build up comes to nothing :(
