Relax, I'm from the Future

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.

I enjoy Rhys Darby usually but the trailer's quirky scenes don't depict the quagmire of time-wasting dullness of the entire movie.

It starts bad, I hoped it would get better but it got worse.

My spouse couldn't watch the entire movie, bailed half way through, as other reviewers have, but I stayed until the bitter, drab end and we agreed I should write a review to warn people how terrible this movie is.

We enjoy time travel movies, we enjoy off-beat humor, twists and turns, surprises, unique characters, but the only surprise was how inane the writing and story and characters were. I hope to forget this movie.

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.

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.

After reading the reviews I thought I would try it out. What a joke, why has this been given such a high rating? Its so bad its simply a waste of anyone's time unless you went into the cinema to get out of the cold.

The awesome reviews must have been written by the cast members or their families. I cannot think of any other reason unless they were paid to write them.

I did not even finish watching it, honestly it was that bad.

From the start it just shows how amateur the whole production is. The credits and the titles at the start have been created by someone that does not have any idea how to do graphics, the software must have been basic and just done on a computer.

The camera work is something high school students could produce in an afternoon. It's all over the place. The storyline jumps to people that we have no idea who they are or why they are involved at all. I really dont want to waste any more time on this to be fair.

Sorry but it's just my review and my opinion.
