    Storyline

    Edit
    The teenager David Raskin is a genius that dreams on joining the MIT. He has a crush on Jessie Pierce but he is too shy to date her. When David finds the design of a time machine that belonged to his father, he decides to build the device together with his friends Quinn Goldberg and Adam Le and his sister Christina Raskin. Soon Jessie joins the group and becomes David's girlfriend. When their experiment gets out of control and changing the future, David decides to fix the problems making them worse. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Movie took only 9 months to write, film, and edit. Researching (on time travel) took approximately 3 months.
    • Goofs
      Allen draws circles on the board to explain the ripple effect on the plane crash. Later, David goes back in time to fix it. When he comes back, we see the board still has circles drawn on it though they shouldn't be there considering the plane crash never happened.
    • Quotes

      Jessie Pierce: You know what I would've done if I was smart enough to build a time machine? I would've gone back in time to meet you sooner.

    Enjoying rather than studying
    And this is true of both the characters in the movie and the viewer. Well the latter should rather try to enjoy as much as possible. Because the science behind it all does not really mix well together. A problem that the movie is not alone with. Mingling with time and trying to make it plausible is almost impossible. Just a few have managed to get the "technical" things right or rather the things right that would seem logical.

    But throw logic out of the window, because this is about teenagers. And while you get the obvious "what would you change, if you could" discussion, in the end it all boils down to personal advantage (mostly). And can you blame them? The twist at the end is kind of redundant, but it's there and better than the alternate endings that can be watched on the disc/special features. Enjoyable if you don't think too much

    FAQ2

    • How could the group time-travel from Georgia to Illinois? Did the device allow also for spatial displacement or is this a plot hole?
