bgoo-19890 This is not your typical LGBT movie. Not the coming out or typical angst riddled movie. The LGBT aspect was actually just another character in the movie The plot of being dropped into your past and being able to effect a change in your life. The thing that got me most was the confrontation of the Main character and his younger self. Realizing just how stubborn and narcissistic his younger self was. Charlie David and Richard Harmon showed how complex the older and younger sides of their character are. Worth the time!

Irishchatter At the start of the film, I knew we were introduced to a guy named Zachary Wells who is a failed filmmaker and he gets offered as a judge at a film festival. However when he came to the University, I wasn't aware that he came from the future. Like if this was meant to be a time traveling movie then why didn't it give us a hint that Zac is saving his sorry past self to win a film festival? Come on like, they should've at least made the effort in putting something magical into this film!And you know what was the most disturbing part of the film was? Zachary was Mr so-called future boy Danny Reyes and had slept with his younger self! I was like 'Oh my god', after seeing this movie, it was a shock. Why on earth would he use a false name?! I didn't realize that he was the future Danny until he thought his younger self was an impostor for stealing his name for the fun of it. That was unbelievable! I just think this film should've made the storyline better because it just didn't impress me the first time round of seeing this movie!

kair_iii When Zachary Wells gets a chance to visit his old university he has an eerie encounter with a very familiar student and gets an opportunity to change both their futures. This film could be analysed through and separated into three different genre types, Drama, Gay Cinema and Science Fiction; Drama and Science Fiction being the prominent of the three, because even though it includes mostly homosexual characters it is not vital to the narrative that they are so even though that is the audience it is marketed to judging by the festivals it was shown at. It's not the typical science fiction film in that it does not include the likes of spaceships, aliens, futuristic technology or scientists, what it does hint at is the occurrence of possible time travel or corresponding parallel universes. It doesn't rely too much on special effects only to emphasis the eeriness of certain areas of attention or connection. Non typical to Sci-fi films there is no clear explanation to the events that unfold in the film which could be the film-makers taking the easy way out as in 'it just happened, accept it' such as in the Zac Efron film 17 Again (2009) where similarly parallel universes collide and gives Mike O'Donnell a second chance at being 17 but in present day. In this film Zachary Wells meets Danny Reyes who has a very similar background to Zachary, to which he then discovers that they are the same person just 15 years difference in age between them. Zachary soon sees this as an opportunity to change his present by changing his past, i.e. changing Danny's present. The present day temporal and human technology aspect of the film does get a bit confusing because of the lack of explanation just as the character Zach shows when the realisation of the situation sets in, but just as Zach soon ignores it and get on with his experience so I did when I was watching the film. Just as similar films of the recent past such as Kaboom (2010) and Mysterious Skin (2004) have all been innovative in keeping the genre fresh and new with cross-genre blending; which shows how the genre has and continues to evolve with cultural trends, this film interplays contemporary cinematic themes and narrative to bring sci-fi into a new and developing audience-ship i.e. gay cinema audience. Past Sci-fi film have always been implied such as characters in Star Trek (1966 - 2009), but never have been as brazen as these films which show out homosexuals in non-typical gay films i.e. coming out stories, gay rights or camp romances.

oaksong Sometimes we wait too long before we get serious about our careers. Sometimes we start with everything and fall into a hole. What if that happened to you and you had the opportunity to go back and change something in the past that would alter your future?While some people seem thrown by the premise, this is a fantasy and so it has it own rules which it follows scrupulously, if you watch closely enough to discover what they are.Zack returns to his Alma Mater to judge a film festival when his close friend Topher is unable to attend. There's a shimmer on the invitation when he opens the envelope that is barely noticeable. As he pulls onto campus he looks up and the clock tower shimmers for a moment.After settling into his digs for the weekend, a dorm room, he goes out to find the towns gay bar where he's attacked by a really cute boy, who sneaks out of his room in the morning. Later that day he is confronted by the same boy in the interview session for the film makers who are vying for this years prize.The actors are very convincing, particularly the two young film makers, Danny and Chris, as they explore a potential romance. Chris, portrayed by Sean Paul Lockhart, is especially convincing as a former innocent who doesn't want to get involved in a possible triangle.The underlying tension that revolves around who might win the festival and what will happen to Danny's film is particularly engaging. As the story develops we grow more concerned about the decisions Zach will have to make.This film has been enjoyed by many audiences across the country at this point, receiving a resounding ovation at the screening I attended.
