This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not even worth your time. The scenes are horrible in this, painstakingly long and annoying that adds nothing to the movie (especially some parts with slow motion. Intro to the town with music was unnecessary long, mid point scene where they're upgrading their machine, ending shot was of CJ running and camera focusing on her face for too long). Some scenes are just too long even though the conversation between each characters are short (eg. CJ and her brother in the kitchen washing dishes, CJ eavesdropping on Eduardo). The acting performance are decidedly obnoxiously average by everyone. Splicing in black culture/life in this does not add anything of note to this movie. Almost everything about the time traveling parts are cringe (the first time they succeeded, the camera was going EVERYWHERE for no particular reason and it just reminded me of a 2000s-esque low budget TV movie for kids by Nickelodeon.)

The worst is that they never actually tried to explain anything about their traveling device--which ties into the mid point of the film where they have to upgrade their devices. We're shown a lot of stuffs (liquid, VR/AR tech, quantum(?) motherboards) but NO EXPLANATION of anything absolutely by anyone. What was that liquid?? Pomegranate juice?? Why does that purportedly quantum motherboard look like a regular micro-ATX motherboard but spray painted gold?? Why is there a tube from the device that connects to their phone on their arm?? A LOT OF WHYS! This is not the way to go about a time traveling movie as we can't relate as we don't know anything!

A pet peeve--in their laboratory/garage there's a workstation consisting of 3 iMacs (triple monitor setup iMac--except that it's all iMacs) that they don't even use and have some kind of cringe animation going on there on a loop. NOBODY uses iMacs as their secondary or third monitor in a triple display system as it is a hassle compared to regular monitors. It's basically just placing the iMacs there for the sake of we're able to see it clearly...product placement???

This movie is so out of touch with any time traveling film. Adding in black culture does not do this any justice, didnt even evoke any sense of pain or loss. Wasted my time watching this. Dear Spike Lee, give me a time machine to turn back time and stop myself from watching this.… Expand

The protagonist character CJ was really unlikable and she hardly learned any lesson at all by the end of the movie since the movie didn't really have an actual ending. In the end CJ was still stubborn and reckless and we have no idea whatThe protagonist character CJ was really unlikable and she hardly learned any lesson at all by the end of the movie since the movie didn't really have an actual ending. In the end CJ was still stubborn and reckless and we have no idea what happens at the end of the film. Besides that if you're bored and scrolling through Netflix this movie could be a fun watch if you don't have much expectations but don't expect to be satisfied by the end of the film.… Expand

This is again a typical american virtue signaling movie now focusing on BLM stuff about poor poor black folks in america suffering in life because of police brutality covered in some strange wannabe Back to the Future coat. But now withThis is again a typical american virtue signaling movie now focusing on BLM stuff about poor poor black folks in america suffering in life because of police brutality covered in some strange wannabe Back to the Future coat. But now with overly incompetent and stupid main and side characters who are not only not helping themselves, but also making everything worse with every step.
The stupidity and arrogant persona of the main character girl is so annoying, that i tried to watch this 2x. But had to stop every time. She is so annoying.

And this BLM propaganda is so strong, that as someone not living in the US, and not caring about US issues, don't have any patience and interest seeing this here in the middle of EU.… Expand

This was an awesome idea for a movie and the characters are great. The problem lies with the woke Black Lives Matter garbage woven throughout. The last thing I want to see when watching a movie is a racist organization peddling left wingThis was an awesome idea for a movie and the characters are great. The problem lies with the woke Black Lives Matter garbage woven throughout. The last thing I want to see when watching a movie is a racist organization peddling left wing propaganda. Black Lives Matter is a sham organization that has squandered millions from fools. The only black lives it has helped is that of the founders and executives. Anyone too dumb not to see that deserves to be duped. Time travel story to save brother - awesome. Blm propaganda- ruined the movie. Go figure with spike Lee's name on this you knew it was gonna be trash.… Expand

The only plus of the movie (although it’s hard to call it a movie, rather an extended pilot of the TV show) is a cameo by Michael J. Fox
