If you think Inception had a complicated plot, this movie isn't for you. Really. There's charts with loops on the Internet which show the plot and what's happening when. You'll probably need to watch this movie at least twice. It's very, very good.

'Inception' looks like a Fisher-Price puzzle compared to this film.

I watched this movie with too much hype for what it was. People were telling how great the time travel was and how twisted but consistent the time travel was, but I didn't feel the same Yes, the kludged time capsules that travel through time at 1 second per second and that can't go back before they were turned on is original and interesting. Having to spend basically 12 hours to go back in time 6 almost defies the purpose of the whole thing. But I have to say that in the end, I kind of disappointed me. The main failing, for me, is [spoiler]the whole party thing. I never was made clear what was so important about it. If Aaron had successfully defused the situation in the first place, why was is so important to go back? Also, it's not very clear how could they make many attempts since that nature of time travel in the movie means that they cannot go back to the same place at the same time without encountering their pasts selves.

Great movie and possibly the best time traveling movie ever. I will admit that after the first watch I was pretty stumped. I mean I pretty much lost it completely about half way in.

That alone is so refreshing. You never see that in movies ever. That you actually have to think and use your brain More

This has quite a clever concept - a group of four engineering friends are building a prototype piece of equipment. "Abe" (David Sullivan) discovers - accidentally - when testing it, that is has positively game-changing potential and confides his secret in his colleague "Aaron" (Shane Carruth). Rathe More

Brilliant concept, yet so-so execution which would have been helped by a higher budget. However, this is a brilliant attempt at creating a time travel film with next to no money. While the film has its faults, the performances and dialogue are great and I love that it doesn’t expect its audience t More
