I admit, I had no idea what I was in for when I decided to watch this movie. The subject appealed to me especially the title since I usually like anything related to time but I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy this precious little jewel of a movie.
It starts innocently enough and took a little while to get going but once it did I was totally hooked. The acting is good for this type of flick but the star of this movie is not really the characters so to speak but rather the way the story slowly grabs your attention and never lets the momentum die.
The effects are very good and used sporadically enough to give us a satisfying jolt while not overdoing it and I was totally engrossed in how this would play out. There are a lot of great ideas flawlessly executed and the direction and editing are top notch serving us a fresh and moving story.
Even the ending was wonderful, open enough to let a sequel continue this saga and frankly, I would love to see it. Not everything is explained but enough is resolved that we don't feel cheated yet I was totally rooting for the characters all the way through and the conclusion feels like the start of what could be a very exciting part 2.
I give this 9 stars which is very well deserved and it's always such a great gift to be surprised by a movie that I wasn't sure would deliver. If you give this a chance, you might also be well rewarded and if you're anything like me, you will stay riveted until the end that promises everything while still fulfilling our need as a viewer to feel satisfied with a well crafted conclusion.
