trashman-66341 During the 80's there were good films and there were bad. The bad were terrible. This movie is like locking someone in a room, getting them to watch these terrible movies over and over again and then make them write a script.The plot themes don't hold together nor do they tie together. The filming is a little worse than a bad 'made for TV' movie. Cliché after cliché after cliché from the 80's - which is why the acting is so bad...If there's an attempt at lighting? It didn't show. The locations the 'skipping scenes' are shot in have no baring on the plot.It feels like the sci fi 'multi dimension' and 'quantum physics' is an interpretation which fits snugly into a bad 80's movie - i.e. it makes no sense and has no grounding in reality. It feels more like the writer doesn't really understand what these two physics concepts actually are. We are given no reason why they are involved, stay involved or disappear.But... when you see 'the event' scene it is touching and the sound quality is good. The film should be marketed as "Knight Rider' and "The A Team" do loss avoidance.This movie is trying to have a big emotional hit at the end but, because you never emotionally get involved with the characters it simply fails.

cat-that-goes-by-himself I am appalled to read all the negative reviews on this movie based on its slow pace and apparently incomprehensible plot.I actually enjoyed it a lot.It has the nerve to let things go unexplained for an hour or so, which is a refreshing change from all the plots that seem to make sure the dumbest kid in the theater will get an answer served on a plate less than five minutes after any issue was raised.Actually, it cannot resist the trend entirely, and serves us a contrived sort of explanation near the end, that rather ruins the poetry of it in my opinion. Oh well, I suppose that was added to calm down the producers...As for the supposedly slow pace, I found it rather well suited to the depiction of the relationships between the characters, which is the essence of the story.I found this movie rather touching and beautifully played, especially by the lead role who shows a promising talent.Without the explanatory scenes, this small gem would have proudly stood the comparison with Donnie Darko.

northerngrunt As some of the other reviews stated, the script was a bit convoluted as if written in segments by different people. First, the school stuff changes. Then, the EMT's appear as of they're some kind of saviours. They skip around what she is encountering without coming to the point. Then the science teacher gets involved... all like different chapters. Yup, I really was expecting some sort of real Black Hole to be involved, but it's not almost to the end that you start to suspect what is happening. About 3/4 of the way through, I was hoping they would get on with it and reveal what was happening. Little hints throughout would have been nice. Not a terrible movie, but I wouldn't pay for it. Good to watch ONCE.The acting is okay... but Izzie Steele's acting was pretty darn good. Not the large actions but the little things. The facial expressions, the rolling eyes, smirks, and so on. That really adds to the detail of the character. I hope she shows up in a better picture.I would have loved to find the Soundtrack, esp THE WALKING MAN.

joyeklein I am a HUGE fan of B rated horror and sci-fi movies from way back, but this movie was not even in the same league. The movie plot "roughly" describes the movie but only in the vaguest of terms. This is not an exciting, sci- fi/thriller like we've come to love in Malcolm McDowell films. This film is NOT a thriller and for that part, not even sci-fi. It is a story of a teenage girl who does something stupid and has a hard time dealing with it. AND it is BORING! There is no action to keep it going. I cannot believe there could be so much nothing in a 2-hour movie. I have NO idea what I just watched; nothing was explained through the whole movie. I didn't pay a dime to watch it and still feel like I was cheated.
