This is a fun movie for kids, I went with 7 - 8 year old kids, they loved it : with them around, it interesting, otherwise, don't go with adults, they'll find it kinda stupid. By the way, it's paradoxal to see a movie based on a plot very close to an old Star Trek episode ("Wink of an eye") directed by Jonathan Frakes...!

Since I just read I cant curse, I will keep this as nice as possible. If somebody were to give this DVD to me as a present, I would just as soon use it as toilet paper as I would a movie. It made horrible attempted jokes like when whats-her-face goes "you wish" to the main dude. It was like a train with no..... um.... train. The previews were misleading by making you think that it was funny. In the commercials, it made it look like the friend had a good part... but when you saw it, you realized that he had 9-10 lines max. If they took out the pointless, useless, horrible scenes, the movie would not be a movie at all, and just one of those five-minute specials in between mediocre TV shows. To avoid this, the director (who is hopefully out of a job) added stupid pointless scenes like the dance scene. 100% pointless. You might say it was "to show you what the watch could do." but we know what it can do!You don't need to put retarded scenes in to lengthen the movie and make the actors feel that they have a good part. So, in conclusion (much rejoicing that its over) I spent 6.50 on some comfy seats that were good for naps.

First of all, almost entire movie is one big plot hole. I don't understand how the filmmakers can think that audience could be stupid enough to not notice how impossible this whole movie is. This movie has a story that gives rules but don't play by the rules, and I can tell you, I HATE THAT! Acting, directing etc... are in basic collage movie level. If you are 12 years old, and guys in school tells you every week that you are genius or clever (and you don't know why they call you that), this might be your movie! Otherwise avoid at any cost!

I'm really glad to see such a good kid movie again. The music went along great with the movie, all fun. The special effects were fantastic, (although it was "The Matrix" that re-defined bullet-time photography), those in charge of special effects did a great job with what they did. French Stewart was great! Glad to see Jonathan Frakes do such a good job and hope he'll come out with more.

The previews for this movie were VERY misleading. Some critics deemed it "Back to the Future" for a new generation. To me, this statement is blasphemy. Back to the Future is a classic. The fact that people would compare it to this film is offensive. This movie was not entertaining AT ALL. Am I wrong, or are movies supposed to be entertaining? I respect Jonathan Frakes, but he made a bad decision in directing this terrible movie. Poor acting, stupid plot, and no entertaining elements. Granted, the idea that one could stop time using a watch is somewhat interesting, but the movie did not make it interesting at all. To quote Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down!"

Jonathan Frakes once again demonstrates why he shouldn't be directing any film, let alone one that's supposed to keep you awake for an hour and a half. Even ignoring the obvious scientific issues surrounding hypertime, this film makes no attempt to be of interest to anyone other the most juvenile of 13 year olds, and even they were pretty restless judging by the audience in the theatre I saw this in. By the time fifteen minutes had passed, I wished I had a hypertime device to make the film pass more quickly. If you're after an entertaining family film, watch the little seen "Meteor Man" and give this one a pass.
