Relax, I'm from the Future

The film starts out with a seemingly simple premise: a time traveler from the future comes back to present-day Toronto to fix world-changing mistakes. But the film keeps surprising us. Maybe people's motivations aren't what they appear to be. Maybe time travel is more common than we realize. Maybe "everything's gonna be okay" means different things to different people. Rhys Darby, as Casper, is hilarious, infuriating, and loveable. Gabrielle Graham has a breakout role as Holly, a jaded young punk who has to wrestle with how much of the world's burdens she has to take onto her leather-clad, spiky shoulders. And Julian Richings shows how much circumstances can change a person's trajectory.

Ok, there's going to be a bunch of people who hate this film, but to be honest, it's got "cult film in the making" qualities, and this will be watched for years to come.

It's proper quirky and deals with the whole time travelling meddler in a fresh new way. I don't want to give anything away, so I wont.

There's fresh faces in this, no big named actors that have been in a thousand things, which is refreshing in every way. The humour is tinged in just the right amount of darkness, which is great but understated.

After watching lots of 'mainstream' films recently, this little gem was an absolute relief to watch.

Which according to the main character is not really possible, so no pun intended? I could have used a Timecop reference I reckon - though the (time) keeper seems to be way over her head in this one. On the other hand, try not to take anything too seriously here. It is silly and that is quite the understatement.

The main actor is quite fine, but again it has to be your rhythm, your style, your sense of humor to really enjoy what is going on. There is not much of a story and I am quite certain that if you were to take the movie apart (logic and sense wise), it would be quite easy to do. So either roll with it - or shut it off. You should be able to tell quickly if this is something you like or not.

Rhys Darby consistently flies in the face of cliche (acting, writing).

However there's still cliche drama in this.

Rhys Darby owns "electric" so much that he fits in with any smooth actor, providing natural drama this way no matter what the subject or story. This is true drama.

However there's still forced "frenemy" style drama. Two characters that are supposed to get along (because they live together) ignoring/twisting points of view only to generate argument.

Most of film is story based with natural social drama & character, so it works.

It's not shot to be replayed, scene length isn't right, key drama points aren't totally believable.. but it won't ruin your evening.

This is a hilarious and cool movie.

I've seen Wrong Turn Part 6, but it doesn't matter which part it was because the guy who matters is on the cast list of all Wrong Turn parts. It's Julian Richings, the actor of "3 Finger".

I ended up on "Relax, I'm From The Future" because I checked movies with Julian Richings. What a happy coincidence.

This film captivated me from the first scene to the last. It is unique. All the actors do a good job, they are perfect for the roles they play. The lead role is a unique and very sympathic guy.

The story is cool and it is funny...... and keeps it simple: there is one reality, a self-adjusting mushy blob of reality or something, which keeps itself on the main track (something like that...) so we can go back in time and interact in the world, as long as we don't change important historical events and not kill important people (or let them live instead of dying as it is supposed to happen). As it turns out, most of us aren't important, most of us don't matter. But I don't want to spoil too much.

This movie is made to entertain and it serves its purpose.

This a low-budget movie that works perfectly fine because of a great idea and great execution.
