• Not your usual Sci-Fi film. Quietly Enjoyable!

  A most excellent and entertaining film, well written and scored. The dialogue was at times thought provoking and, to be honest, was more or less in line with my thoughts on time travel which is as good a reason as any to like it! Perhaps a better script might have ruined it, and special effects would not have suited the films nuances and quirks. I have never come across a bad Australian film and this, being no exception, is a better one than some other highly glossy and commercial ones. In many ways this reminds me of a typical British film shot with lots of love on a low budget - earthy and local, with no pretensions. Plot holes were easy to forgive given that there were few for the given budget, and that, apart from the police scenes, the acting was of a quality any director would be pleased with. I enjoyed it. I would have bought this!

• The best time-travel movie you've never heard of

  Like some of the other reviewers, I came upon this film completely by accident. And like one other reviewer, I planned to watch about 10 minutes and watch the rest another time. But the movie pulled me in and stayed with me until the end. It's a most unusual time-travel story. Although some of the concepts have been used before, this takes them in a different direction. It's a quiet, slow-paced movie, so if you're looking for quick action, you'll find it in short supply. But the atmosphere is as important as the plot progress and the dialog. It reminds me a little bit of David Gerrold's "The Man Who Folded Himself". If you're looking to settle down and watch something out of the ordinary -- and you're willing to give it your attention and accept its pacing -- you'll find it very rewarding.

• Beautiful cinematography, story and music

  I stumbled across this movie by accident, but what a beautiful movie this is. It's slow pace, which let you enjoy all the nice pictures and think about it like a good art-house movie does. It goes beyond the typical techno-scifi but keeps facts straight. Plot is very well thought trough. Loved the way the director lets you think about life in a existential philosophical way. The whole atmosphere is beautiful. I wanted to watch only 10 min and watch the rest later. I watched the whole movie without pause or anything, the movie really pulls you in. For me that's a good guideline for a good and quality movie. Thus; Highly advisable, must see, enjoy the ride

• Outstanding Sci-Fi Film

  I was pretty leery of the 7/10 rating as so many small films on IMDb get rated by cast/crew/family to push up their rating, but being a Sci-Fi fan I gave it a shot. I will say that this film takes a bit to get it's momentum. The acting, cinematography, and writing seem to get better as the movie goes along. The film started out with an amateurish feeling and ended feeling like a studio-produced movie. Here's a quick synopsis of the story: A man goes back in time to save his ex-girlfriend that died in a car crash, and ends up struggling with larger issues with larger consequences. All that being said, this was an excellent film. Great story. Everything about this movie works. The further the movie goes along the more you get sucked into it. Fantastic writing and a great execution. If you're a fan on science fiction, especially low budget science fiction like me, you'll enjoy this film.

• May truly be "The best time travel movie you've never seen." Heartfelt!

  I'm so happy I gave this great indie film a chance. It dealt with time travel in an emotionally intelligent way that made the potential problems of paradoxes irrelevant to the telling of the story. Really well directed with a great score, believable characters, well acted, original and quite entertaining. A bit of a tearjerker without any melodrama. Don't bother watching if you're looking for action sequences and special effects, watch it because it'll make you feel something! I suppose it could in a way be a low budget Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -with a similar mood, but a completely different plot. Great film!
