Time Addicts

I really wanted to LOVE this, especially after I was sucked into the trailer, the concept had promise but wasn't executed correctly. Firstly, the drug addicted characters did not ring true to life, I could see the actors phoning it in or trying very hard to be a bogan junkie without having the acting chops to pull it off. It didn't feel authentic like the writer / director didn't experience it and wanted to make a film about it. You can see when someone hasn't had lived experience. Especially the lead actress she really needed to go further with her character, she seemed to OK to be a druggie. I didn't quite believe her performance. The lead actor was trying to play it cool or eccentric, but it didn't land either. The other ensemble cast were actually quite good. The story is lacking so much, long scenes with pacing issues and boring, I found myself fast forwarding as NOTHING literally was happening. I can't believe yet another terrible funding choice from VIC SCREEN and the funding bodies whereas other filmmakers are struggling to make films who are far more talented.

Overall its photographed well, all technical aspects are very good, nice locations and music but that where it ends.

Time Addicts is idiosyncratic, yet so relatable and recognisable to most Australians. We've all met a few folks like Johnny and Denise, whether we wanted to or not. This story about intergenerational abandonment issues and how people of all types can heal and make amends, is a lovely thing to watch. It's definitely told in an unusual way, but the way the story's told is clever and unique. I loved the cross over between comedy and horror, the cast did a great job at keeping me on the edge of my seat. The house most of the film is set in is incredibly decorated for each time period, crazy to think that's all the same house renovated multiple times!

Definitely recommend!

Why did I watch the whole movie? So that you don't have to! I usually love any kind of time travel movie, but this one is truly terrible! And why did I give it a '1'? To counter the reviews here with '10', as they are fake which you can easily verify because the reviewers don't have any other reviews on IMDb.

The dialogues are stupid, annoying and full of expletives, for which there is absolutely no reason as it spoils the movie even more. The poor actors probably just followed the pointless and dumb script, which makes you wonder whether the writer has ever written anything that makes remotely sense. It's about drug users who are getting into a time travel dilemma (no spoiler here) which is neither believable nor conclusive.

Most time travel movies have some sort of plot holes or illogical twists, but 'Time Addicts' is just messy and annoyingly haphazard. The movie is set in a dark and dank house where all the time travel happens, which is attempting to set a somber tone, but it's not helping. Save your time and watch anything else, you'll thank me! I wish I had a time-travelling crystal in order to get 90 minutes of my life back.

For a film about smoking pipes and travelling through time it was proper entertaining. Anyone upset about the dialogue or swearing clearly hasn't hung out with Aussie junkies and that's disappointing. These people are the salt of the earth....literally....they'll harvest salt from the ocean for a point. The male lead (Charles) was fantastic with a Captain Jack Sparrow-esque performance if he was drinking tinnies and grew up in housing commish. Anyway, smoke a bowl and enjoy a weird journey into the niche cookery of meth subculture in Melbourne, Australia. And if you hate it, go and watch the latest marvel movie for the 12th time.

Caught a screening of "Time Addicts" at Monsterfest and was pleasantly surprised by what the filmmakers achieved on a low budget. The cinematography and production design were impressive, giving the film a polished look that exceeded my expectations.

The lead actor's performance was a highlight, delivering lines that had me laughing out loud. The casting and direction were well done, adding depth and charm to the character. I found myself genuinely invested in the characters and their motives, particularly enjoying the emotional depth and connection between the two leads.

The Melbourne vibe and aesthetic added a unique touch to the film, making it feel familiar and relatable. As a local feature, "Time Addicts" showcased a lot of heart and craft, which made it easy to support.

Overall, "Time Addicts" is a testament to what can be achieved with creativity and passion. It's definitely worth a watch for anyone who enjoys thoughtful storytelling and a good performance.
