"For the sheer quantity of its gibbering, jabbering nonsense, this movie deserves some points. That, and the amusing cameo at the end from Keith David as the Simulator, AKA God, who explains to the awestruck mortals that God is an entirely free creator, rather like a self-published novelist, then grows irritated when the mortals think that being self-published is lame: It's not my fault if you don't understand the industry! This is an exhausting indie romp on the subject of time travel,"
"Samuel Dunning plays Tim Travers, a goateed scientist who has stolen nuclear materials from a terrorist group to power the time machine he has invented. He sends himself back one minute into the past with a gun to kill his younger self to investigate the time-traveller's paradox: if he eliminates his one-minute younger self, then won't he also disappear at that moment, popping like a soap bubble, because it means he can't exist in the future?"
"But given that he has to exist in the future to have set all this in motion, doesn't it mean that this time-travelled self has to survive? Well, apparently it's the latter, and Tim keeps going repeatedly back, creating many different selves who at one stage indulge in a bizarre off-camera orgy. A hitman, working for that furious terrorist group from which Tim stole, has the unhappy task of whacking all these space-time clones."
An exhausting indie romp centered on a time-travel experiment that generates chaotic, often silly results. A goateed scientist, Tim Travers, steals nuclear materials to power a time machine and repeatedly sends himself back one minute to test a paradox by attempting to kill his younger self. The experiment produces numerous clones, escalating into bizarre off-screen episodes and prompting a hitman to eliminate the duplicates. The film offers amusing cameos from Keith David and Danny Trejo, leans toward broad gibbering comedy, and evokes Douglas Adams' lighter sci-fi tone while arriving on digital platforms on 26 January.
