Flawed, but Very Entertaining if You Like to Think.

I think some people aren't cutting this movie Enough slack, maybe in some cases, too much. Regardless, I highly recommend watching this movie without reading reviews. This is a really low budget movie and it's done in a very fun and inventive way, I cannot say enough good about it for what it is. Yes, it could have been exponentially better in some regards, it's budget does show at time. However, some of the plot holes that people have pointed out aren't plot holes at all, not even close, and they are easily explained within the time travel thesis the movie gives for itself. Some people on here need to give credit where credit is due. The details and slight changes in this movie are amazing and cannot be caught in just one viewing for most people. If you're a lazy movie goer and don't like think, do us a favor, and give this one a pass.

One thing to keep in mind is we are observers, we are not involved in the goings on in this film, think of yourselves like God(not that you are), but you are able to understand and see everything these characters cannot. Those in the film, are not aware of the changes. You're outside of the events and able to see them as they are happening and are unaffected by them. If you keep this point of view, the movie will make far more sense.

If there are any real plot holes here, they are small, and definitely they are not as bad as movies such as the last version of "Time Machine" or any of the hundreds of big-budget Hollywood time travel movies. In fact even the best of low-budget time travel movies don't have perfect time travel theory, but they usually much closer than Hollywood. People always bag on low budget movies because they don't have the big production values. Yet, the acting in this was pretty solid. There were some things that were a little strange such as some of the photos of the family seemed like they were digitally grafted together, I'm guessing they were. But other than that a lot of it felt pretty authentic as a "documentary". Most of the actors did well at being experts in their fields, I especially like the author and the General. I thought they gave it a good try at really creating something that was unique and something that gave a different perspective on time travel.

On the whole I really enjoyed this movie, I watched it before going to bed and all night I dreamed about time travel and the problems that the characters find themselves in. It's not without a few minor flaws, but if you can look over those flaws in a big-budget film, I see no reason why it can't be looked over here, in a movie that has so much creativity and detail in it. On the whole this is definitely one of my favorite low budget time travel movies, and it has a great amount of detail, work, and creativity, put into it, and it certainly deserves a wider audience. It is a shame it was out of distribution until it ended up on Amazon Prime.
