Some good ideas about how to use the time travel. But the idea of what this movie try to tell is completely wrong. The movie spent 2 hours to justify some random homicide cause by future people because those who are killed some how connectedSome good ideas about how to use the time travel.

What ist the Message of this movie? 'The only way to solve the problems we are currently facing ist to travel to the past and make some changes'? Is this the main take-away?

Yet another Netflix propaganda piece masquerading as incredibly poorly written entertainment.

The convoluted and disjointed plot is just a vehicle for Netflix to once again push the lie that anyone who believes in personal liberty or freedom is automatically an evil white supremacist. Because apparently freedom is racist now. Cancel your Netflix accounts, stop giving them money that they’ll just turn around and use to try to strip you of your rights.… Expand

Boyd Holbrook stars as a cop who discovers a series of serial killings that recur every 9 years. This leads to a tiny sci-fi payoff, but most of the movie is simply an uninteresting procedural. Holbrook brings little to the role as hisBoyd Holbrook stars as a cop who discovers a series of serial killings that recur every 9 years. This leads to a tiny sci-fi payoff, but most of the movie is simply an uninteresting procedural. Holbrook brings little to the role as his character deteriorates over the decades. The direction lacks much action or excitement. And worst of all, the explanation for the time-travel murders is never fully explained (and hones too closely to the Terminator time travel concept). Slow and lacking any tension…not worth the time it takes to get to the disappointing reveal. (Not to be confused with the documentary of the same name from 2007)… Expand

A good movie wasted by a wrong plot twist

A SF movie about time travel need to respect the logic

Another, terrible, politically driven product... It clearly shows up how a strong black woman stops angry republicans - because you know, they like guns and militia stuff, and just like any SJW driven movie it gives a clear message... we willAnother, terrible, politically driven product... It clearly shows up how a strong black woman stops angry republicans - because you know, they like guns and militia stuff, and just like any SJW driven movie it gives a clear message... we will not stop, we will even kill innocents to get what we want. Netlix gone WOKE some time ago and I hope, they will go BROKE soon... So... the outcome and twist ending is predictable, somewhat.… Expand

The bad guys ? The whites
The hero ? the black woman

The futur super intelligence scientists from the futur ? Indian and black guy (because whites are too dumb to create things and technologies and so on lol)

Aggressive left wing propaganda.

The message of this movie is 'it's ok to kill people for their believes'. I was enjoying the film until very last moment when this 'revelation' came to be.

I was enjoying the film until very last moment when this 'revelation' came to be. I hate that Netflix became this radical leftist propaganda tool. Not only kill them but also melt their brains out. Leftist ability to justify that scares me more and more. Hope they won't become the cause of future collapse of civilization they predict will come from hands of so called 'white supremacists'.… Expand

I thought this is the documentary about exploration of the moon. Noticed the mistake fast, but kept watching as I thought it may be some interesting thriller. Acting is horrible. Every actor in the movie is bad. Action scenes are boring. AndI thought this is the documentary about exploration of the moon.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The acting was ok and the story moved along fairly well. However, when I learned the plot I was turned off by the murdering of people because of their beliefs just to stop a civil war. Sounds more like what a leftest would do.… Expand

In the Shadow of the Moon is another Sci-Fi on the theme of time travel. But the distinctive feature of In the Shadow of the Moon is that the main character is not a traveler. This allows the film to open up and not be like many other filmsIn the Shadow of the Moon is another Sci-Fi on the theme of time travel. But the distinctive feature of In the Shadow of the Moon is that the main character is not a traveler. This allows the film to open up and not be like many other films of this genre. In itself, In the Shadow of the Moon, is a classic B-movie from Netflix. Although the action takes place in 4 time intervals, it is absolutely not felt. We can also note a terribly undeveloped ending that destroys the narrative of the whole film. It seems that the script for the film was written by a schoolboy, because to describe the origin of a civil war through a terrorist militia group is the height of idiocy. In the Shadow of the Moon is a boring film that you don't want to recommend even to ardent fans of the genre.… Expand
