If you are a fan of bad camera work and direction plus annoying teens that can't act then this maybe for you. A good idea for a movie spoilt by childish themes, amateurish acting, poor direction but most annoying of all is the cheap hand-held camera work throughout. I only managed to watch 3/4 of this drivel.

This is a movie so stupid that I felt personally offended while watching it. The depth of stupidity in pretty much every line of dialogue and every scene in the movie is remarkable. I don't understand how anyone can make a movie like this by accident, I refuse to believe it, so I think it was made this badly on purpose, it's basically a trolling movie. Why do I think that? Well, if one is so incredibly incompetent and untalented to only be able to come up with a movie this bad, it's reasonable to assume they would not be in a position to make a movie in the first place. However, somehow, these people got the opportunity. I know many movies are made with zero care about the substance and their sole purpose is to make money. I understand that. But those are usually lighthearted comedies or mindless highschool dramas. When a movie is SO DAMN up it's own a** and tries to present itself as a movie about a highly intellectual topic, but at the same time is incredibly stupid on every single level, then I don't understand it. This is a movie that made me feel like the people who filmed it were trolling me, like they were laughing and pointing fingers at me because I was naive enough to keep watching the crap they came up with. They make these teenagers talk and behave in such a way that it makes them seem so deeply dumb that I would be impressed if any of them could replace a lightbulb, yet they solve one of the most complex problems in existence, while not even paying that much attention to it. Everything that happens in between is just horribly badly thought out and shows that the filmmakers imagined the viewers would have IQ's around 60 and absolutely no understanding or knowledge of anything around them. That's the only way you can watch this garbage and not feel offended or not understand what's so wrong with it. I'm afraid to imagine how dumb one has to be to actually enjoy watching this, but ok...It's an insult to intelligence, insult to common sense, insult to science and to the movie industry.

I need to comment on the review above from the so called "Engineer". He bashed this movie because he felt that technically it wasn't up to his level of academic standards. First off they didn't make this movie so that the Engineers in the world could take notes and use them in their jobs. This was a typical teen movie which kept your interest and had a decent ending. If you wanted an educational movie than maybe look into watching the education channel or maybe even the Sci-Fi channel. Why would you be watching a teen movie to compare your knowledge with what they portrayed in the movie.The movie is worth watching especially if you have teenagers. I have two that I watched the movie with an 18 year old and a 15 year old and they both enjoyed it. We were not going into watching this movie to learn how to time travel, and or build instruments. Hope this helps.

Why would a guy stand there and film his girlfriend as she's pouring out her heart, any other woman in the world would slap the camera out of the guy's hand. Why would anyone film a tender moment between two people during a loud, noisy concert, where they couldn't possibly pick up the peoples' voices over the sound of the music. Why would kids film themselves committing crimes. None of the secondary characters are bothered by being filmed, it's perfectly normal to them. NO. You have to ask before you film people, it's common courtesy. And the dopiest thing of all about this film: oh, my dad built a time machine, uttered as casually as though dad built a bookshelf. They don't react in astonishment, it's just a time machine, no big whoop. Here is a tip if you insist on watching this film: you can safely FF through the music festival, you won't miss anything.
