With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for puzzle-lovers who like to keep track of the timelines and people who like a story that's man versus the elements. Expect to replay a few scenes in your head afterwards. Shelve it next to The Man Who Fell to Earth or The Time Machine. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic, mind-bending.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Inventor Nick Miller dreams of traveling through time, of stopping war and curing humanity's problems. He invents the Transport, a time machine, to better the world. When he sells his invention to a defense contractor, the time machine is used by its evil CEO as a sinister weapon. Nick soon discovers that the future has been changed into a desolate wasteland controlled by gangs. Robertson has sold use of the Transport to anyone who wants to take advantage of knowing the normal course of history. The only way Nick can stop the destruction of the future is to erase his past. If somehow he can prevent his past-self from creating the Transport, the threat will be averted. In this pulse-pounding race through time that takes you from the future of 2041 to the Revolutionary War, Nick must risk everything to try and save the future!
