FAQ About Time Travel Review

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel

I saw a trailer this week on Facebook, and the trailer said the movie was a combination of Dr. Who meets Shaun of the Dead. With that kind of billing, how am I not going to see a movie like that?

The title pretty much explains it all with this one. Basically, you have your text-book movie geeks which right away make me like the movie, and they stumble across a sort of time paradox, Anna Faris, and some beer in the course of 30 minutes, or hundreds of years, I’m not really sure.

Time travel is always a tricky think, and can easily be a cheap way to write yourself out of a corner, but in this case, it was kind of the opposite. The movie was written by someone who had a very good knowledge of time travel theories (minus Dr. Sam Beckett’s theory from Quantum Leap, but we won’t hold that against him) and the movie uses pretty much every theory…together…in the same movie. And, if your not confused yet, you certainty will be.

I liked this movie to a point. It was simple, yet incredibly complicated. The characters were a bit clichéd, and while the time travel was written perfectly, the dialogue was a bit on the rough side. Also, the humor was basically movie geek one-liners. So, if you’re a movie geek like me, the one liners that come are hilarious, and probably something you and your friends talk about. If you haven’t fully embraced your inner movie geek just yet, however, you will find this movie incredibly boring.

Overall, I’m thrilled I saw it, and will probably watch it again. Just, next time, I will have far more alcohol in me.
