Memorable, crazy movie

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

The first must-see film of the year.

Blistering performances.

I watched this as a kid and I loved it. It was actually not easy to find again considering it's age. This teenager, who sells everything he can on Ubid (at the time it was actually a thing 02), is saving up for a car. While going through his father's old junk from down stairs, he stumbles upon an old wooden box that he knocks off a shelf. In the box is a watch. When he presses a button on the watch it "slows down time" not actually stopping it. Moving so fast thru time, accelerating at the speed of a hummingbirds wing flapping, (google it). His father had explained what it does at one point but not explaining in full detail but calling it "Hypertime.His father is the main creator of the watch and knows how to duplicate it but says instead (like all movies) "What would happen if this got into the wrong hands?"As he figures out the watch, a group of men want it to use for their own purpose. (go figure the bad guys). As the teenager uses the watch, he also learns of it's side affects. When in Hypertime, the body is actually accelerating at hyperspeed as well, causing the cells of the body to age faster. 1 minute in reality is close to something like 5 or 10 minutes. 1 hour? almost something close to 2 days or more. As for a story line, a "hero" like based movie, this is a really good movie and deserves a 2nd film but never happened. If you like the concept of Time manipulation you will like this movie.

Clockstoppers isn't exactly great film making. But it just so happens that I love one thing more than I love anything else, pretty much, and that is the thought of being able to stop time.Actually I love slo-mo, super slo-mo, time freeze, bullet-time, all that. I first saw bullet-time (as in time freezing and the camera panning around) in an animal documentary once, I remember it totally blowing my mind. And of course, we all know The Matrix made it very popular. And lots of other movies following. And then comes Clockstoppers, a whole movie about just that one thing! I'm in heaven!Well, alright, the movie isn't super great, and the time freeze effects aren't super good, but I still think it gets the job done. I love putting myself in their place, being able to stop time! The possibilities! (Mohahaha!)The movie is pretty decent though, it's has some exciting parts, it's a pretty short and rather entertaining thing, the story isn't half bad either. It has one very silly scene that totally goes against the rules it has set for it self, but this is a movie for the younger crowd, so you know. There are plot holes here, but children wont care!

GOOD NEWS - This had a very interesting premise: having time stopped, except for one person wearing a special watch enabling he or she to move around and do anything while everyone else was frozen in time. There were fun special-effects in here, too.BAD NEWS - The dialog and the humor in here was so stupid, so California-like teeny- bopperish that it was almost impossible to watch the entire film....if you are past the age of 18 or have a brain. It was filled with annoying no-name teen actors and filled with plugs for scuzzy magazines like "Cosmopolitan" and other assorted other soft-sleaze stuff. OVERALL - An extremely unlikeable, overrated movie unless you from the age of 11-14 and have poor parents as role models.

The previews for this movie were VERY misleading. Some critics deemed it "Back to the Future" for a new generation. To me, this statement is blasphemy. Back to the Future is a classic. The fact that people would compare it to this film is offensive. This movie was not entertaining AT ALL. Am I wrong, or are movies supposed to be entertaining? I respect Jonathan Frakes, but he made a bad decision in directing this terrible movie. Poor acting, stupid plot, and no entertaining elements. Granted, the idea that one could stop time using a watch is somewhat interesting, but the movie did not make it interesting at all. To quote Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down!"
