Bill H. Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Amy, thanks, I am going to see if I can rent this one.......the clips/trailer looks very interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ears Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I watched it tonight, very weird. It's a variation on the time travel theme, but very intellectual. I think the cover said it was a Sundance award winner. I can see that. Strange cinematography and poor sound, but overall I liked it for it's storyline. The acting was good, for new actors. A bit more explanation at the end would have been nice, but it leaves you to ponder a few things, which is not a bad thing. Overall, IMO 2.5 out of 5. I would say 3 if it would have had better sound. I also watched "Flight of the Phoenix" tonight. The plan crash scene is one of the best I've seen and had supurb sound. My whole house was shaking and it felt like I was in the plane as it was going down. Excellent! Worth the rental for that scene alone. I thought the whole movie had great sound.

Moderators Amy Posted June 27, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2005 I agree, the sound was not the best. The director talked about that in the voice over version on DVD. A lot of this movie's dialogue was way over my head, anyway, so I didn't really need to hear it. But I think that was on purpose--no one really knows how to time travel, so the language they were using, at least I think, was purposefully confusing. Although I do hear conversations like that around here in our engineering department occassionally I actually watched it a second time right away, it wasn't a very long movie, so I understood it a little better the second time. Very interesting concept. Made me think, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted June 28, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2005 I just read that this movie was made on a budget of $7000. No wonder the sound was crappy!! Who makes movies for $7 grand anymore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 NOBODY, unless it's a student film, or a guerilla style film shot on digital video (consumer camcorders) with a skeleton crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted June 28, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2005 Have you seen it yet, Nic? I'm curious to hear your impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Not yet, Amy. But next time I'm around a blockbuster, I'll give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I think Edbert and his buddy gave it 2 thumbs up ... is this the one about Time travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Holy crap. Watched it last night and LOVED it. I'm still sorting it out in my head, definitely not for the easily frustrated. I just loved the feel of the movie, almost like a weird dream, the futility that starts to build as they realize what they have done. Awesome. I'll probably watch it again this weekend.

Moderators Amy Posted June 29, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2005 ygmn, Yes, it's about time travel. Not in the conventional Back to the Future or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure sense, but in a situation where you really believe it could happen. Very scientific and realistic--not flashy or with any special effects. A real thinker, though, as dblue said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was made on the cheap for Sundance or some movie festival thingy.... Put this on the To buy USED DVD list.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Yeah, when you can make a movie this effective for $7000! (that's right, 7 g's), then who need big budget crap with bloated pampered over-rated actors. Ahem, OK, I'm done. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
