Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
... View MoreNice effects though.
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI enjoyed this movie, although I admit all the different time-travel threads had me a bit confused. Chris O'Dowd was charming as usual, and the other leads did well too. This is going to sound a bit nit- picky, but one thing that annoyed me was the British words that the American character kept using:1. An American is never going to call a closet a "cupboard", no matter how many times she's read Harry Potter. 2. She would also never say "quite dull" (she would say "really boring"). 3. We rarely ever, unless we're film critics, use the word "film" to mean a movie. 4. Also, although I love the word "sorted" as the Brits use it (it just has such a sense of finality and taken-care-of-ness to it), Americans never use it that way. If something is sorted, it means a bunch of papers or something that have been cataloged into different categories or piles or something - you know, SORTED.I just wish the producers had gotten an American to look over the American's dialog just once to weed out these distracting British- isms. Anyway, stupid points but they took me out of the world of the movie momentarily. Be sure to watch the entire credits - there's something right after them to see.
... View MoreI had hoped this film would have been more fun. It IS fun in a dreary British way, but not fun like Hitchhiker's Guide. The acting is fine, the sets are fine, the dialogue is weak, and the script is OK. Maybe it's the directing? It feels like it has all the weight of an episode of All My Children. Not a waste of 83 minutes, especially if you like Sci-Fi (Science Fiction!) and Chris O'Dowd.
... View MoreThis is a fun, entertaining movie not to be taken to seriously. It was very entertaining. A comedic take on time travel. I ran across it on Amazon Prime and it had a four star rating so I thought I'd give it a shot. Three average guys are in a pub, one of who just got fired; they are SciFi buffs talking about time travel end up wrapped up in a time travel debacle. I would not call it hilarious but it was fun. It's in the same Genre as Galaxy Quest. A light hearted romp through the SciFi time travel zone.Anna Faris plays in it. We all know and love her from the Scary Movies. She plays a small part but important to the movie. I really liked the Giant ant they threw in.
... View MoreHands up who likes an intelligent witty original comedy sci~fi ~ me! me! me!~Loved it~Low budget but this doesn't affect the film at all ~ in fact it probably adds some cult status to it~Chris O'Dowd is at his comedy best ~ the female lead (forgotten her name but she's in everything) is a bit wooden but i'll let that slide~This is definitely one of my favourite sci~fi's~ I'll push the boat out and give it a 10 seeing as i've just sold an item on ebay putting me in a good mood~
