It's not as bad as the terrible reviews want you to believe, but it is not as good as the glowing ones want to convince you either. It's a nice way to spend 90 minutes consuming cola and a snack. The story itself is not bad at all, although the writers should have gotten a little more assistance with quantum mechanics, or used one of the vast (one could even say infinite) number of other things that could have caused the plot point of essentially "there can be only one" (hint: killing somebody from another reality does NOT reduce the mass that was transferred. Also, there seems to be a pretty significant amount of differences between the two mostly featured realities for that to be a best match among an infinite number of realities. If they were actually able to search and sort on that criteria, there should be a near infinite number of almost exact copies, and one could conjecture that moving between almost exact copies would be easier than disparate ones (although there is of course no data to support that, it just "feels" logical. Still, I've spent time on MUCH worse movies than this one. Finally, about the ending, it definitely could be a time loop, or it could just be a string of very similar events in very similar realities. Maybe the water IS the key...

Poor acting, poor CGI, poor writing... I don't know anything about directing but that was likely poor as well. This was just senseless. I almost want to go back to see where I got lost, but I find that I don't care. Nothing about this followed logically from anything else, and the editor must have taken an acid trip in the middle of everything. Thank goodness it was only about 80 minutes of my life wasted. There seemed to be a hint of a plot struggling to get out, but it never seemed to be able to quite make it. And why did the sister look like two completely different actresses? The battle scenes were ridiculous, and why does the AI even care about the humans? Why would the humans be fighting among themselves? Why was this movie ever made? Why did I watch it? Just, WHY?

I'm as big a Bruce Campbell fan as anyone, and he plays his standard character in this... whatever it is, but it commits two cardinal sins: 1) Bruce isn't his funny, wisecracking anti-hero, and 2) it's incredibly predictable. Lots of time wasted on side trails that go nowhere. Just disappointing.

Plenty of food for thought in the other reviews, but what I really want to know is this: what happened to Soldier 2.0, and if it was the obvious, why? The second thing I would like them to explain is what happened with Jim there at the end? That made no sense. Otherwise, fairly average SF fare with some interesting ideas and some clumsy missteps. Pretty standard Amazon Prime Video material.

Based on a true story? What story, the one about how the writer couldn't come up with one?

Utterly senseless. This thing is a disjointed mess of nonsensical random exposition.

All I can say about this movie is the first part is boring as heck, and the second part is trippy as heck. Sort of Heavy Metal meets a Hollywood behind the scenes documentary.

Unquestionably one of the goofiest movies I have ever watched. Some cool quantum physics references, though...

The other reviews pretty much cover it. This may have been made on a ridiculously low budget, but an undergrad film school professor would still suggest another career choice for those involved.

I saw this for free on Amazon Prime and I still want my money back. My goodness, the acting is stiff and stilted, almost everything is obviously composited (and not very well), and the camerawork makes low end video games look good. Am I missing some kind of inside joke here?

It starts out with bad, cheap titles and everything else follows suit. Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing (was there any directing or were they just winging it?), bad camerawork, even bad cameras ( or at least poorly maintained). I'm a big fan of time travel movies, but this one was pretty hokey and extremely low quality.

Obvious "twist" at the end, which does not explain the random editing cuts nor the "stub" histories that never went anywhere (or never happened in the first place). Too disjointed even for a time travel movie, with way too much teenage angst thrown in along the way.

As others have said, it's been done before, but I thought it was better than some. Their physics went awry toward the end (he and his clothes disappear, but the notebook and disc stay? Why?) but otherwise it had some interesting points. An abrupt ending (there were trash cans all over, why not pitch one, but I suppose fate or time or whatever would have found a way around that too) and an inconclusive and potentially ineffective one.

I'm not sure they accounted for entropy everywhere either.

Still, I'm not unhappy that I watched it.

Thank goodness this series didn't last any longer than it did...

Just plain awful. Nonsensical. No discernible plot or rationale for anything. I tend to give time travel movies a lot of slack because I enjoy the thought experiments that they generate, but this was just bad. Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, bad camera work, even bad singing.

And people, do some basic research, the year 0 is not creation...

...and I've seen some bad ones. While watching this (we picked it up on a "5 for $10" table, so we weren't expecting much) I said to my wife "This looks like it was cobbled together from a bunch of failed video games". Came here to IMDb to look it up, and lo and behold, it was. Acting is horrible. Plot? What plot? And it is obvious that several different technologies were used to film (video tape) the live action and effects. I can only imagine that Walter Koenig was clipped in so that they could put "Walter Koenig" on the box to hopefully snare some unsuspecting Star Trek fans. I don't know what would be a spoiler for this, since there is nothing to spoil. Even the so called "supercomputer" looks like a beer keg with the top of the robot from "Lost in Space" jammed into it. Add to that the cheap porno soundtrack and background music, and you have to wonder how this ever saw the light of day, much less got stamped into a DVD. Simply awful. And yet, they left it open for a sequel at the end.
