The concept of the movie is really quite intriguing. Even though it's never really fully explained what is the cause, the ideas they built up around the time anomaly kept me interested. And a lot of it works.

Better dialog and acting could have made this a sci-fi masterpiece. But it kind of stumbles over itself a lot of the time. It builds up these interesting ideas, then executes them pretty well. And the next scene you have the characters reacting to what just happened. And my reaction to thos sequences was something along the lines of "What!? Why would you say that?! Why would you react to that in such a way!?". And that just kept happening over and over again. So all the stuff that's going on is pretty cool. But the characters are really soulless and shallow except for Furby (who I quite liked, even though he was a bit much at the beginning) and Cara (who probably delivered the best acting out of all of them).… Expand

Just watched it on Netflix, the thing is, I am the kind of person who likes to watch fiction randomly and sometimes without searching scores.

Sometimes I fail, sometimes I get to watch some hidden gems. This is one case of finding a not well acted and maybe not well presented movie, since the affects weren't that great, bad at some point, but I think the story is well made and let alone a always gets me. I'll just give it a seven because I really liked the story, it's one of that crazy ones about time and if you have certain love for time travel or time related movies or shows, I guess you should not skip this one.… Expand

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

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
