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.
