I love this movie. I am a huge fan of time-travel movies and this one just sky-rocketed to the top of my list.
First, the premise. Holy-sh*t. The best sci-fi is one that can tackle tough social and political issues in the guise of sci-fi and this one does it perfectly.
Second, the time-travel rules. If you choose to make a time travel movie you have a burden of establishing the rules of time travel in your film without making a mess of it. Something that is very difficult. This movie does a great job of establishing the rules and then using them in smart ways to create tension and drama.
Lastly, the cast. You can tell that they are not all seasoned actors. I am so glad they kept the principle actors from the short when they made this more fully realized version. They were able to bring the emotion needed at the right time. Kudos to Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow.
