Time Trap is highly creative, populated with relatable characters, with a whip-smart script. Sadly, the very end of the movie undoes the tense atmosphere setup throughout. While it does not ruin the film, it does leave one a bit disappointed. Read full review

Time Trap is a superficially entertaining science-fiction action/adventure film that might have worked better had it focused more on the “science fiction” elements and less on the halfhearted “action/adventure” ones. Read full review

The result, directed by Mark Dennis and Ben Foster (not the actor) from Dennis’ script, is a handful of intriguing ideas in search of a more cohesive and dimensional narrative. Read full review

It’s not the worst time travel tale ever, but it does earn the most dismissive assessement you can give a movie in this genre. It’s not worth your time. Read full review

Time Trap is a good example of the fact that a good film can be made for as little as $3 million. There are no expensive sets, there is no yawning cast, there is no expensive CGI.

There are no expensive sets, there is no yawning cast, there is no expensive CGI. But at the same time, Time Trap has an interesting story, a little Sci-Fi and excellent use of time as another actor. Everything in the film turns into a circle of interpretation of time. It's so easy to actually show that it doesn't require big budgets and expensive scenes in CGI. Quite simple pair of videos on the home camera. Yes, if you soberly evaluate Time Trap a completely passing film that cannot withstand comparison with any more less serious film on the topic of time loops or time travel. But I don't want to compare at all, Time Trap is a good film in itself. If you're not chasing maximum showmanship then watch Time Trap, it's a good movie for your budget… Expand

It kept me entertained and interested to see what was going to happen next. I just wish we could have seen more of the "future" when the gang got back to the surface.

A classic low budget resume movie useful if you're in a lockdown. On the positive, it's a low budget masterpiece demonstrating how imaginative writing can triumph over very low budget limitations. Demos how to think outside your box when budget says the box has to be small. The criticsA classic low budget resume movie useful if you're in a lockdown. On the positive, it's a low budget masterpiece demonstrating how imaginative writing can triumph over very low budget limitations. Demos how to think outside your box when budget says the box has to be small. The critics criticize this as a change in tone. Actually "change of tone" and reframing the whole story IS the story. A wrenching narrative re-frame 3/4 the way thru is used occasionally even on big budget films like Star Trek movies.… Expand

What on earth am I watching? Supposed smart man professor type doesn't realise he's gone forward in time. Chucks all of his glow sticks in the entrance to the cave he's exploring. Needs his "expert" typical jock/cheerleader teen team to come rescue him. Also generic children who hate bugs /What on earth am I watching?
