Captivating movie !

Better Late Then Never

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This indie film is just plain fun. Sure, it's amateurish, but...It mentions some real ideas in physics (past and present) -- GUF theory; quantum theory; string theory; membranes; etc.It includes some actual history about Thomas Edison.It names some real physicists -- Einstein (obviously), Tesla, Bohr, etc. (check out the opening credits!)The props (early electronic devices) look authentic.One of the writers seems to have a medical background -- some nice details.Given the film's limited budget, the special effects are pretty good.The acting is good enough to carry the plot.I would compare this movie favorably to the first "Flatliners" film (I haven't seen the recent remake).Watch it and judge for yourself.

It is typical of me, a common lame-brained normal person with an active interest in science and physics but no real mastery of it, to savor these sorts of theoretical science type movies, especially when they experiment with quantum physics."Quantum physics" is to me, the common lame-brained normal etc, pure magic. I attempted a while ago to learn just some of the basics and it completely overwhelmed me and erased what ever little bit of it I did understand. It is demonic spooky magic. This movie thankfully does not go very dense into the quantum, much in the way "Primer" went very dense into the mechanical engineering, and relies heavily on dumbing down the concepts for the audience a bit.Despite that, while I was able to get ahold of and gain a clear understanding of most, if not all of the concepts dealt with in the film, when they all come together as a whole, I was just left confused. The film itself made me hesitant to approach, as it was very clearly low budget. I've enjoyed many low budget movies, but typically since the vast majority of movies are done in 24 frames per second, and the vast majority of live television (including news, reality TV, talk shows) are done in 30 fps, making them look just slightly "faster" than movies.this film seemed to be shot in some uneven mix of 30 fps and something a bit faster, giving it a look somewhere between a talk show and a soap opera. Despite this, the acting was amazingly decent all throughout and the concepts kept my interest long enough to actually enjoy much of the movie. There are some encounters with cliché storytelling, such as the "Off-beat science guy" who is very nearly thrown out by the protagonist due to a lie, placing the entire concept of the film at risk. Other reviews detail probably in greater detail and understanding what they attempted many times to explain using the term "membranes". The impression I got was something reminiscent of multiple universes, but somehow different, especially later on in the film when they make a startling slight revelation which changes the way they should approach it. Up to the climax, I had a firm grasp of what was happening. When the business with the protagonist and the professor unfolded, I had a shaky grasp of what was happening. When it got to the "epilogue" portion, I completely lost it.

Very much enjoyed this film. Took a chance on it for no other reason than the cool poster, and was not disappointed. If you like theoretical physics, you'll enjoy the way it's applied here (even if it does at times stretch the bounds of believability). If science isn't you're thing (i.e.my wife), there's still much to like with fun characters and a tragic love story. The sfx are pretty mind blowing for a low budget film. Minus two stars for uneven acting and too much expositional dialog. Neither a deal breaker though.

Saw it at Comicon (where it won best picture) and so excited to discover it got distribution! Not your typical indie sci-fi. Thoughtful and complex science with mesmerizing special effects. Minus one star for inconsistent camera-work and a few less than stellar performances. Still for the budget, it's pretty impressive. Sequel please!
