The acting was very stiff for some very stiff dialog, which I think would have worked itself out had they taken more than one day to shoot it.<br /><br />The story came in fast but then pff... gone. The saving grace was that it was about time travel, and that makes it complex, so any reasonable amount of a storied sequence is something to celebrate. They pull it off, fantastically, but they do so without giving us a real story which was a little disappointing... and could have made the post-credits resolution worthwhile.<br /><br />Overall, I agree that this movie deserves to be watched. The creators definitely jumped in head first and said "we're making a movie in one day, it's about time travel, and yeah we really can do it." They certainly succeed in the important aspects, I would just have preferred a little more conflict beyond I-need-to-get-this-girl-in-my-warm-time-bubble.<br /><br />The "shouldn't you be bunting something?" line is something that will stick with me as one of my favorite plants/payoffs in a movie.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286845722292639179noreply@blogger.com
