The Time Capsule

Compelling performance by this young actress. I totally believed she was lost in this place of being treated like a kid by those who knew her before and not fitting in with the young people she was meeting now. So it made sense to me that she would want to connect with her former boyfriend even though he now "looks old".

Such an interesting concept and I liked how the filmmaker handled the ending. Very unique!!

My first advice... Ignore the 1/10 & 10/10 ratings... See it for yourself.

To the story. I liked it. I do not understand the bad reviews. This never deserves a 1/10 and I agree, also not a 10/10, but my 6 ot 7/10 is real. At least for me. See the story of love is one thing. But another, the story of life, and decision making, choosing your personal path in life. This is a story everyone could tell. Most people make decisions, that in their minds, they have to rigidly cling to, and because of whatever fear, they close their hearts and make all wishes and dreams go away... Lifelong... Jack resembles this pattern behaviour in all of us... But the story is also the story of finding ones authentic self. Doesn't matter how long it takes, or how hard it is. It is worth finding ourselves... Finding out, what we realy want. Jack did it. And you?

I did not plan to write review of this movie, but seeing about 10 1-ns in row here (rated by usefulness or whatever), followed with rating 10 - made me to do it.

I think that there were some good ideas, scenes, dialogs in this movie, and acting was OK. The reason for hate is probably main character, actor playing it. Not some macho, charismatic one. I had more problems with actress playing Elise. Obviously more than 18 years, rather about 25. And was not impressed with her acting too. Although material was not impressive too.

Most likeable character was wife, especially in first hour.

Low budget, indeed. Despite some interstellar travels with speed near to light speed, cars on streets were like today cars. All it did not look as some even 'near' future with much more advanced technology.

Ending was little disappointment, and a bit rushed in my opinion.

There were some good points about political fights in elections, about depression.

Overall, pretty inconsistent.

The acting, the writing and the directing are very adequate; nothing more than that was necessary to set this film in a middle-of-the-road category. Acceptable, not outstanding.

I find the film slow: with the exception of the hostile TV interview, the scenes which constitute the plot were not intense enough to maintain my interest. (Can't totally blame the writers: the situation in itself is static: "she went away and she returned at the same age. This is all there is, what we do now?") There is too much Hallmark and not enough time travel.

Some viewers find repulsive (creepy) the idea of a couple with 20 years of age gap. Fine to them, but not for me. For the last 18 years I've been married to a woman 30 years my junior. We have two children and we are reasonably happy. Either way, the age factor should not weight on the consideration of the merits of the film, which does not take a position on age-different couples. It is just the situation as it is.

All in all, the movie is just OK, and very little is gained by watching it.

You know how they reuse the same story line over and over again. The super spy who can beat up 15 armed men with nothing but a pool noodle. The RomCom where they accidentally meet, some sparks fly, then a disagreement separates them but in the end they get back together? There are so many storylines that are so played.

This is original. Two teenagers fall in love. Then one goes on a intergalactic voyage. She comes back and everyone has aged 20 years but she hasn't aged a day. Then she finds her old flame, now close to 40, and they rekindle their romance.

Ok, it's pretty stupid. I agree. Bring back the guy with the pool noodle. One star for originality. Six stars for Brianna Hildebrand. She is a talented actress, and I'm looking forward to seeing her work for many years to come.
