Displacement

This film was infuriatingly wrong in so many ways. Even Star Trek bases their sci fi on real physics . I mean I this film she initiated the temporal wave from her dam hotel room. You'd need at least a particle accelerator. We see no machine capable of even being a science experiment much less the satisfy sci fi buffs.

If you are into this kind of a movie, it's not bad. I have to admit that it is not as good as 2004's "Primer". most of the characters, other than of the protagonist, are either one or two dimensional. And, the protagonist herself is barely developed. I'm not even sure why the boyfriend is even in the plot other than to provide something else to deal with. If it wasn't for the fact that he has a few lines to say in the film, a clife sized picture would have done just as well.

And, if you have any knowledge of quantum physics, you will quickly understand that the writers don't really understand the concepts and are just using the concepts as the "magic elements" of the film.

Most of the special effects are traditional with a little CGI thrown in at the end.

If you choose to watch it, prepare to suspend all belief.

Ho boy.... Where to start with this dumpster fire of a film. Look, I like me some Sci-fi, especially about time paradoxes. I'm willing to suspend disbelief and overlook science movie mumbo jumbo; I'm willing to forgive bad acting; I'm willing to ignore continuity errors; I'm capable of overlooking bad, soap opera lighting; I will even go as far to turn a blind ear to the cheeseball score that sounds like it was borrowed from the Princess Bride, Robin Hood: Men in Tights and every craptacular, early 90s Stephen King film. But for the love of all that his holy, I cannot ignore all of them at once!!!

This movie is an "I hate Daddy" whinefest masquerading as an intelligent time paradox movie, which it tries to steal from the better examples of the latter and comes up horribly short. The scientific research probably consisted of a Wikipedia search on time travel, mixed in with big words in the wrong place and nonsensical equations written down in an attempt to seem smart. The acting has all the subtlety and range of a highschool melodrama (seriously, the only casting requirement was "can you cry a bunch and call out 'Brian' a bunch" for the lead) and the supporting characters are 2D cut outs of movie tropes. Come to think of it, the protagonist is a 2D stock character of the angsty teen girl with some ability that makes her special. Lazy editing features a cafe scene that switches from day to night and back again and the rest of the interior scenes are shot with so much top light that it's just silly (the camera work is decent, though).

I secretly hoped that at some point in the movie, Mike Nelson or Joe would appear at the bottom of the screen and, with the help of his robot friends, vastly improve the viewing experience. Sadly, there's nothing under that Christmas tree for me. I gave three stars because the camera work pulls off some nice shots... It's about the only redeeming quality to this boneheaded, lazy, unoriginal and overall dumb film.

Boring, corny, bad acting, bad writing, very dated script, would be corny in 1967. Terrible.

Great story line with well written characters. Cinematography is spot on. I wish there were a sequel. Loved seeing Bruce Davidson in his gritty roll. The whole idea of time jumping has appealed to me since I first saw SlaughterHouse 5. This film compares favorably in how the time jump is portrayed.
