I usually write reviews only when I differ from majority of reviewers. So this is such a movie. It's really an injustice for this movie to have such a low rating. It's because people pay more attention to the budget and special effects that they forget about the story and screenplay. It's true that special effects in this are not up to the mark. Well, we can call the special effects, poor. But that doesn't hinder me from enjoying the movie. There are certain loop holes in the plot, some cliches. Still I enjoy the movie, because the theme of this movie, is my favorite one i.e. Time travel and subsequent change in history. If you are very particular about budget and special effects, forget this movie. Otherwise you will definitely enjoy it.

It's a mild sleazy heist movie. The story goes like an ordinary heist movie where a group of people trying to steal an ancient statue from a Greek museum. Nothing special! But the twist at the end of the movie, made it really great. So I've given ten stars for the movie. When I finished watching the movie, I expected the average rating of this movie in imdb should have been above 6. But to my disappointment, the movie has been rated below 4 stars. It's possible only if all the viewers guessed the twist even at the earlier stage, whereas I was dumb enough never to guess the twist at all, even after watching thousands of movie. Anyway, if you are not so clever enough to guess the twist, you will definitely like this movie.

I completely agree with one of the reviewers on the point that this is one of the creepiest found footage movies. But, as usual, I don't know why it was so underrated i.e with only 5.1 rating, whereas craps like Blair witch Project, are highly praised. Usually I am not a fan of found footage movie, especially the movies based on religious beliefs. But this movie is an exception. The 1932 segment was filmed excellently, to give an authentic historical touch. Since it is the core of the movie, everything fits well in it's place, in the movie, making it more and more creepy. Fans of good horror, must not miss this movie.
