Time Jumpers

What started out as a potentially good movie was quickly ruined by the unrelated stories that were just horrible and really pointless to the discovery of the little time altering ball found by the boy in the beginning. I advise you not to waste an hour of your life watching this rubbish because it is unlikely to see that hour of your life again. Like another reviewer said, there are waaaay better time jumping movies out there

The movie started ok (although with bad acting). Then....the story changed to a completely unrelated movie and it went downhill from here.....if you are looking for your time travel movie fix go somewhere else....there are plenty of indy time travel movie gems out there and this isn't one of them.

Unlike most of the people, I didn't find this anthology to be cringe-worthy. But, it was completely purposeless. Rather than reviewing this as a whole, I would like to say things about the four disjointed short films in it.

First one. It was the only one which justified the title of the anthology. There were some tropes that we have seen before and they have been played out in a better way and in a better context. It told the story very well, except that the ending was vague. I would've wanted to see more of it. Score : 6.9/10.

Second one. The usual looping of time and stuff. It was nothing exciting and was really predictable. We have seen the thing being played out very well in "Predestination" and many other movies. Here, it's just terrible acting and expositionary dialogues. It didn't make any sense. It felt like a small scene from a movie. Within itself, it had no story. Score : 0/10.

Third one. It was the best one among the four. The way things unfold are told visually rather than through expositions. This would've served as a good short film, if it wasn't a part of this anthology. The telling of the story is very good. The performances are okay. Due to its runtime, it doesn't explain the backstory properly. That's the only major drawback. It just wasn't so fitting to call it "Time Jumping" or so. Score : 8/10. Grade : A-.

Fourth one. This was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. Mere mentioning of a time leap doesn't justify a "time jump", it will just be lame. It wasn't a horror or a sci-fi stuff. Just some lame video clip. It was shortest and stupidest among all. Score : 0/10 (cringe).

This anthology gave me two watchable short films and two which don't make any sense. I still think that it's a terrible idea to put all these short films in a collection which would make every one of them feel as inferior shorts.

Rating for the entire anthology : 4.1/10.

I read all the reviews that gave this collection a rating of 1. I watched it just to se why so many viewers thought it was only a 1 out of 10. I give it 4. Of course, I went into viewing it knowing about the separate shorts. Each one left you with the idea that, "Here's how it could have ended." I thought the acting was ok, certainly not bad, as some reviewers have said. Know what you're getting into before you watch it. Let yourself be entertained, and I'll bet you'll come away rating it higher than a 1.

When I saw this, it reminded me a bit like black mirror, only time related plots instead. The first and last of the 4 "mini stories" had a good storyline and concept going for them, but the ones in between shafted from English to foreign languages for some reason (which isn't really explained) but in it's defence, it adds subtitles when they speak a foreign language.

To summarise if they focused on this "Time Travel/Time related" genre but adapted it as a TV show (like black mirror) type deal, I reckon it could do quite well :)
