I had gotten to the point of being sick of time travel flicks. They were either the same theme rehashed yet again, or had no viable story, or were just completely stupid nonsense. There was nothing new and it was boring.
Then comes along this gem of a film and proves there are still people out there with the ability to come up with something quite different.
From the opening credits to the very last seconds of the film, this is presented as an actual documentary of time travel, including the history of the first time traveler. It includes everything from actual historic documentary footage to set props that emphasize what's happening throughout the film.
Although presented in documentary form it is some of the most riveting science fiction I've seen in some time, with every minute making the viewer wonder what they're going to do next.
For some this will be too cerebral. Others won't really "get" what's going on. They won't figure out the plot twists, won't understand the very subtle humor, will miss all the sight and set cues and gags. Such people generally post 1-3 star reviews on IMDB. ; )
But I believe the majority of true sci fi fans will understand this and applaud the unusual presentation and format of this film. It truly does present time travel in a different manner than most other such films. Kudos to the writers, director and everyone involved in this film.
The only reason I don't give this 10 stars is because I was hoping a slightly more creative ending. Still, the ending made sense, held true to the rest of the "documentary", and was sufficient to the general theme. All in all I think this is some of the most innovative sci fi I've seen presented in a film. Well worth watching.
