      john p Our main character, time traveling, inventor-loner, and young awkward scientist is none other than "Sam" from Lord of the Rings flick fame. Other actors are not so well-known. The use of slo-mo, fast ramping, whirling cam angles and jerky rewind are used as the effects to indicate time travel and assorted anomalies. Obviously budget but okay. Plot was minimal, easy to see coming but worked. What kept my interest up was that in time travel flicks, (only into the past in this movie), infinite storyline twists are possible. This was a thin yet light-hearted romp 80% of the time w/ chuckles amidst the forced mayhem. So TV-MA level violence, deadly explosives and heavy gun-play added what edge this movie could muster for the other 20% of the time. A mixture of heavy Aussie-Brit and bland US inflections and accents made the viewer wonder just where this story was happening -- giving it a overtly generic locale feel. This was not a great flick nor really awful but followed that "almost well-done" Sci-Fi Channel production quality, made for TV gestalt. The ending was sugar-coated and feel good written as the time-travelers (good, stupid, and the ugly), all gained "wisdom" from surviving various destinies avoided by jumping back to do it "right" for the next time. Please no sequel! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jeffrey r Gun violence is not an adequate substitute for plot! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a reasonably terrible flick, but one that can be enjoyed once. It has quick action but a terrible story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Rubbish Time-Travel Drama. After Such Succes For The Two Lead Actors In LOTR, X-Men & Snatch...You Sit Left Wondering How?? & Why!? Did They Even End Up In This Crap..Ugh! ..Embarrassing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie, quite entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Slipstream is an odd movie. It revolves around Stuart Conway, a scientist, who has invented a portable time travel device. He is able to travel ten minutes back in time when activating Slipstream. While testing the device at the bank things go very wrong when it gets held up. He attempts to rectify the situation. The idea behind this movie is interesting but was poorly implemented. At times the movie was offensive towards women and the acting was sub-par. The overdone camera effects and hyped up music made me feel like I was at a rave. There was not even enough storyline/dialog to support the 90 minutes so there are long periods of nonsensical events. 2 out of 10 - Recommended as a rental to have playing in the background during a party - Rated R Dain Binder <a href="http://www.dainsmoviereviews.com/2009/07/slipstream-2005-movie-review.html">http://www.dainsmoviereviews.com/2009/07/slipstream-2005-movie-review.html</a> Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Omnipresent camera-spinnings can't deliver enough slickness to hide Slipstream's half-baked concept and frequently horrific dialogue. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...baffling, irritating, and even a little infuriating...
