Critics Consensus

Synchronicity's sci-fi reach exceeds its low-budget grasp, but it has some interesting ideas and serves overall as a nifty calling card for writer-director Jacob Gentry.

It's actually worth a watch. I've watched it a couple times. It's a really ambitious low budget film that over delivers. Set expectations low and you will be surprised and love the movie. It's been a while since I had last seen it but it still perked my interest. There are plot holes in a lot of places and that's just a particular nit pick but we are talking about a time travel movie so just dismiss belief for a bit and enjoy it.

Interesting premises on time travel, but too convoluted and tedious. Acting rather shallow and I did not care enough about the characters. My time would have been better spent elsewhere.

Although low budget, the pacing, acting, and screenplay keep the viewer engaged throughout the experience. However, logic and reasoning break down at the end of the film, which provides more nonsense than rational thought. Be prepared to think because the information provided will leave you with more theories than answers.

Low budget sci-fi that is a bit too heady to be a 'SyFy Original.' Not overly saturated with scientific explanation and reason, nor anything new to say on the subject, and a bit too hung up on the love interest. The synthesized soundtrack was a nice touch.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Definitely has a very 80s, blade runner feel to it. The music is engrossing, the pacing is fantastic. It has a believable technical background and an interesting mystery that unfolds and satisfyingly resolves all the question marks.

Polished and clever, though not quite so engrossing or memorable as one might have hoped ...

Having such a small number of characters, like the limitations caused by budgetary constraints, might sound like a recipe for creative claustrophobia, but Gentry turns these givens to his advantage ...

"Synchronicity," a low-budget misfire about time and love, could use some exploding heads, dialogue and ideas.

Deep Focus Review

Although an intriguing piece of science-fiction and an impressive production that will keep your attention from start to finish, it ultimately leaves the viewer fond of, but cold toward, the experience.

Rated: 2.5/4

While an interesting visual accomplishment, Synchronicity's allegiance to its forebears only reminds us in how it pales in comparison.
