It's a small package that delivers a sizeable punch. Go to Full Review
Michael Sicinski Cinema Scope 11/18/2017
Bearing an unnervingly derivative resemblance to Shane Carruth's Primer, which did much more with considerably less, the debut feature by TV writer Tony Elliott comes off like a low-budget, low-stakes riff on Edge of Tomorrow. Go to Full Review
Molly Horan Refinery29 06/26/2017
Watching a bad movie is never an enjoyable experience. But there's something particularly excruciating about watching a bad movie that keeps repeating the same thing every 10 minutes. Go to Full Review

Not a great movie, but it is a worthy approach to the exciting cinematic universe of time traveling. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Juan Tolentino Cinema Movil 09/23/2016
A futuristic movie that is entertaining, but not memorable and ends being disappointing. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

A disappointingly half-baked sci-fi endeavor... Go to Full Review

David H. @rivrocks 15h I didn't know who to root for and didn't end up caring. This is 6 iterations of the same 20 minute scene with zero progress toward any discernible climax or denouement. There's a foundation for a good story here. See more Paul S @PManRager May 4 Mix Groundhog Day, The Strangers, and a little bit of cerebral sci-fi, and you will get this movie. The story moved at an incredibly sped-up pace, and the actions of the characters made no sense throughout the entire movie. This movie sets up a seemingly perfect dystopian world, but because the movie took place in its singular setting, nothing was explored in depth, which makes this movie a waste of potential if you ask me. Despite this movie's flaws, it was really enjoyable, and I thought the plot was really intriguing. Every twist and turn made this movie more intense, and I was definitely hooked the whole time. I definitely recommend this for sci-fi fans! See more Mike S. @RT54543932 Apr 28 Main chick is intolerable. Main guy is foolishly merciful. Zero conclusion to the story. Otherwise, not completely terrible. See more Peter F @RT28007450 Apr 6 A movie whose existence can only be justified by a need to churn out a constant, vast stream of movies.,, preferably at low cost. Well, this markets itself as dystopian science fiction, in reality it's a miserable, zero budget chamber play that entirely takes place in the same damned house, so we only learn about that dystopian future from dialogues; using a totally worn out idea (a day that repeats endlessly). Acting would be decent, were it not for the male protagonist, of all, to be dreadful. Really a movie you want to skip. See more dik b @dik_B Feb 4 Clever little low budget SF here. Tense and involving as the subtle plot points come up and as it seems, many weren't paying attention and missed them. Recommended. See more V C @RT40551152 Oct 26 Boooooo!! Worst movie ever. Ending was not justifiable , repeated the same 10 minutes the whole movie just to not have a resolution at the end. 🍅🍅🍅🍅 only watch this movie if you want to waste almost two hours of your precious time.
