I am a fan of what the Mothers of Invention called Cheapness. Science fiction movies, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, in which you could tell Godzilla was a man in a rubber suit, or see the strings suspending the rocket against the black backdrop of outer space. This film, made in Australia, is a modern version of Cheapness. The time machine at the center of the story appears to be a large piece of concrete piping decorated with blinking lights and plastic tubing. There is absolutely no CGI and only one or two soundstage sets. Paintings are used to depict future cityscapes. The story is disconnected, the script straight-up-corny, and the antagonists predictable. But, if you relax and enjoy, without looking for the lack of continuity, it's entirely enjoyable escapism. I really don't think this movie takes itself too seriously and you shouldn't either.
Never ever came across a sci-fi with people shedding tears almost in every other scene. A bit over the top 'emotional weight' quotient I'd say! You'll know when you see it.
A bit interesting in parts. Visuals of apocalyptic+future earth are definitely super good. A one time watch on a lazy afternoon

Not a bad flick, but not noteworthy either. The effects were decent and gave it a proper sci-fi setting. The Dialogue was wanting, and to be honest, too much crying going on, far too much! It is one of those sci-fis were you have to ignore the science, just accept the plot holes the inaccuracies make. The acting was pretty stiff. It tried hard and probably the effects were the best feature of the film - which is a bit worrying. All in all though, still gets a 5 for a Sunday afternoon which is a pass and not a complete fail
Don't really want to slate this as it tries really hard.
Kept me up til 1am and I still rated it a 6.
Low budget (tried a bit hard to be higher budget) sci-fi with just enough to make you want to see it through.
Music was a bit over the top in places, the actor that played the little kid (although small part) is going places, watch this space.
Trailer made it look much better than it was unfortunately. 6/10 seems fair.
I see that movie as a failed chance. The basic story is solid good from the beginning on, the acting is not bad. I like the effects and the ending, but in-between it has serious logical errors, get's too cheesy at a few moments and the music is sometimes over the top. The message is ok, but at some points it seems to be constructed with a common set of story elements, which are used in other movies. That happens especially when it comes close to the end. For me as a movie dude it feels like I saw those in another version earlier with other actors. I think if they would have spent a little more money for a better script, it could have been more delightful. The idea of this movie is good.
I would recommend it for people who like environmental scifi movies and who didn't see many of them.
