The Time Capsule

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.

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.

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.

Nothing sensational or oscar winning but interesting and will pass an hour or so comfortably. Give it a go. The negative reviews here need to relax a bit! The premise is a classic what if in science fiction but I cannot recall the diea of a person returning to Earth after years in space being unaged as a film plot. The idea poses many issues for the naturally aged family and others the space traveller comes back to see. Steadily paced, relying on the dialogue to create the issues and concerns and to show the testing of relationships. Perhaps, a bigger budget , star status actors and top director would have demanded more but the idea is there and they have put it up to be quietly enjoyed.

I believe that all people who ranked this movie as 1 urgently need a shrink. You can only see evil if there is evil within you.

I was shocked by the amount of unhelpful comments about the film. The year 2022 surprised by the number of bad and boring movies that were released. Basically more of the same over and over again.

The Time Capsule is a good surprise. I didn't have high expectations, but I decided to take a chance, especially after seeing the amount of haters.

The film has good performances, a creative story and takes a different look at how love can withstand time. Brianna is very cute and deserves praise for her performance. It's important to remember that this movie doesn't have an unlimited budget, but I'm sure you'll like it.
