Black Easter

I'm crazy about time travel movies, but the script for this movie is so absurd it's funny. One sequence more unbelievable than the other until the last scene.

I'm not even sure what to think after 1 hour and 50 minutes of absolute nonsense.

At the beginning, it lists all of these awards it's received. I went in thinking that maybe this was an independent film gem. It was not. Much of its low rating was based on the acting, which is poor from the beginning. The concept was interesting, but that was about it. That being said, it holds its morals. It tries to teach its lessons. There's just a lot going on. But it's par for the course in time travel stories, and this film relies so heavily on it that it's hard to take it seriously almost immediately. But then it keeps happening over and over, until they set up the final twist at the end. It feels like there may have been too many writers trying to put forth too many messages, or possibly just too many characters considering each person introduced in a new time period is essentially a new character, as they differ from the original version. With a story like this, less could've been more- it would at least cause less confusion.

A screenplay so stupid and poorly crafted that it is impossible for a normal person to get to the end.

It's like the Blair witch project, but made by some really stoned kids at an evangelical summer camp drama project. Requires first crucifying your critical faculties and biblical levels of the suspension of disbelief.

I mistakenly thought this had a rating of 7.8 on IMDB and thought "Hell yeah! Time travel, killing off Jesus, a good rating... let it rip. The best thing about the movie was the camera work... which wasn't anything great, it was just WAY better than the acting, script, or the really spotty "science" behind time travel and creation of alternate time lines. Yes, I know time travel doesn't exist... as far as we know, but at least try to make it plausible within the framework of the movie. It was breathtakingly bad... a complete waste of time. It looked like a mediocre film student attempt, with a larger budget than the norm. Don't waste your time, there's nothing redeeming anywhere to be seen.
