Timespace

With a title like "Timespace," I imagined an exciting exploration of the universal space/time continuum and perhaps a few insightful inroads into its inner workings and applications in a fresh creative way. As a die-hard sci-fi fan, I expected some hard science in my science fiction to make the story plausible. I imagined a team of PhD scientists working on a device that would allow you to transverse time. Not a 25-year-old kid named Bryan, high-strung, love-stricken, despondent, lost in his world, in search for answers, two young to look like a physicist. His time machine, in fact, looked like an inverted coffin with two rubberized arms. No tech, no bells and whistles, no visible power source. Really?

Then he does the worst thing of all. He chooses to announce his big invention publicly!! Didn't he think this through? He never saw it coming - all the ridicule, the scorn, the shame, the cries to put him away? When an agent demands he turn over his machine to the U. S. government, he panics and flees.

You start to feel for Bryan here. All he wants is to figure out his life's purpose and find fulfillment, and he believed his time machine would deliver answers. Will Brian get the answers he seeks? The ending does bring a satisfactory closure, and that's why I've bumped my rating from a 2 to 3.

I love time travel and alternate reality movies, they just make you feel how mysterious life is and how much we don't know.

This one in th ebeginning felt like one of the less good ones, kind of simple... but then it went on to prove that it was just phenomenally made.

I would have given it at least 9 stars but I found it a bit confusing right toward the near end (don't want to include spoilers. See for yourself maybe I just didn't get something).

The intentinal 80s look was also quite good! As are the different timelines in different coloring resp. Black and white.

Somebody wrote the acting was bad. I disagree. VERY good acting in my opinion.

And what was especially good was the soundtrack. Usually I don't like much instrimental background soundtrack, there are movies where it is annoying. But in this movie it was so fitting! Dramatic. It underlined the scenes and gave them accent where it was needed. A mixture of exciting and sad. All the human emotions.

The song - I am not sure was it made especially for this movie? But if it was, it hit the 80s trend right on the head. That pop culture where a good melodyand a nice smile could bring you into the charts... did they actually made up this catching 80s style melody just for this movie? If yes, big thumbs up!

And yes maybe the sining wasn't absolutly good but she made up for it with her character. Very good acting on her part.

What I also really liked is that the movie is really about the purpose of life. The faith based references give it depth.

The moral dilemmas make you feel for the characters even when they make wrong choices.

The time machine was cool haha.

I think the movie is low budget but with looooooots of talent. Which is much more imprtant.

Just plain awful. Nonsensical. No discernible plot or rationale for anything. I tend to give time travel movies a lot of slack because I enjoy the thought experiments that they generate, but this was just bad. Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, bad camera work, even bad singing.

And people, do some basic research, the year 0 is not creation...

Although it was low budget I give this film at 10 for the reason that it was about the essence of life. That it is no matter what is going on in the universe it is predetermined what you're going to do and you're going to be with. Could you possibly manipulate it, maybe? The whole premise was that as long as you had love of yourself, loving in your heart and love of others that everything will turn out fine in the end. The writer in this case had just barely turned 20 and really knew what the essence of life was about that unfortunately so few of us know even when we hit 40 or 50. Some make it to their death life in life bitter. I often find the problem with most of the reviewers is they don't look at the situation involving the writer, director or producer at the time the films were made. Quite often these are college or high school projects. Some are just people who love to make films without the Hollywood hype. To me those can be the best kinds of movies because they come closer to reality than Hollywood fiction..
