Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who enjoys a story that folds back on itself and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Pay attention early: the time-bending pays off later. Same wavelength as Back to the Future Part III or Primer.
- The mood
- Tense, mind-bending.
- The pace
- Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 23 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
History professor Scott McKenzie makes an anachronistic discovery in a photograph from the Old West and he is soon joined by beautiful time-traveler Georgia in a time-skipping adventure to stop her colleague from the future from erasing her from existence.
