Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times This opens things up to plenty of new dangers, including aliens and some seriously hostile cavemen, but not the kind of wholly propulsive, time-tripping fun that might be expected. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica As a coherent story, it mostly works. But what you'll walk away admiring most is the film's ambition. Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof By the time the film has laid all its cards on the table, it is too late to care. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See A clever concept, brisk tempo, and filmmakers willing to get absolutely nutty when necessary. Rated: B Jul 1, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A progressively bonkers thriller... Rated: 3/4 Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls Its familiar retro-vibe and almost end-to-end action left me feeling like it would be right at home on the SyFy channel-and I totally mean that in a good way.

Archie O Time Trap? More Like Time I’ll Never Get Back If I had the power to time travel, I’d go back to the exact moment before I pressed play on this movie and slap the remote out of my own hand. Time Trap is the cinematic equivalent of a lukewarm gas station hot dog looks kind of interesting at first, but you instantly regret the experience. The plot stumbles around like it’s lost in its own time loop, the pacing is somehow both rushed and painfully slow, and the characters make choices so brainless I started rooting for the cave to seal itself shut. And then there’s Cara… easily one of the worst performances I’ve seen in years. Every line delivery sounded like she was reading a grocery list, and every reaction felt like she was realizing she left the oven on at home. If bad acting were a competition, she’d be a time-traveling champion. By the end, I wasn’t just bored I was angry that no time machine exists in real life to undo this mistake. File this movie under “Do Not Watch Unless Trapped in a Cave With No Other Entertainment. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review CoHo C. I get it. It’s B movie acting. But I knew that going in and I love anything with time travel and sci-fi elements. That being said, I’ve watched it several times because it’s such a unique premise that has a neat and satisfying ending. Time dilation is a rare subject for a movie so while this isn’t necessarily the best execution, it’s quirky enough to justify cult status in time travel cinema. It was better than I thought it would be going in, and strangely, I find myself going back for more viewings to see if I missed anything. That’s a testament to a good movie! Can we get a sequel?! lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Erin C Did not have high expectations but thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was well done. I really like the time dilation aspect of the plot. Not your ordinary confinement story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Priscilla A This movie is so unique. I loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Katrina S 9/10 Awesome!!! This movie was very good and had me on the edge throughout. I only wish they would have showed the man who saved them that died being brought back to life too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Charlie S Great hard sci fi. Great science. Too bad for the low budget. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
