Mostly, it’s impressive how Bowler reimagines his own Oscar-nominated 2011 short film. He takes his original idea of using time-travel as a kind of metaphysical Photoshop and seriously thinks through how it would work — and whether it’s possible to have a “happy ending” when revision is always an option.

“불행한 순간만 제거하면 니가 행복할 줄 알았어."190817 (3.5)-1. “불행한 순간만 제거하면 니가 행복할 줄 알았어.참으로 과학적이지... 근데 내 모든 과학적인 이론과 아이디어가 다 어리석은 일이었어. 정말 미안해.”2. 실연이 준 집중력으로 타임머신을 만들었는데 녹음실 처럼 생긴 각종 음향 장비들이 가득한거 괜히 웃겨야하는데 로맨틱하잖아.3. 나비효과 같은 포맷일거란 생각으로 소피 터너랑 에이사 버터필드나 보잔 마음으로 시작했는데 생각보다 탄탄하고 재미있었다.

This is a cute, low budget movie - which has a little depth to it and requires the ability to think abstractly to understand what it's about. Otherwise, the lack of expensive eye candy or special effects may cause you to rate it as a low quality film.

Se enreda la historia, no atteriza bien el viaje en el tiempo al final. La historia de amor si esta interesante.

This story contains interesting elements to become a slightly more serious project despite its thematic, however, it fails to perform better and everything just stays in simple good intentions.

What a stupid movie. I am a real time and space travel movie geek, so I’m very forgiving with this genre, but stupid is stupid. Badly written, the characters don’t make logical decisions, and they keep continue doing the same stupid thing over and over again with little introspection. The character development was poorly done, so my husband and I left the movie not caring about anybody. The acting was weak, there wasn’t a single solid role. I love the Hot Tub Time Machine and Groundhog Day, so my standards obviously aren’t too high, so you know where I’m coming from. I have no idea why the one professional reviewer, at the time of my review, gave this a freaking 70%, maybe it’s the reason the movie is called Time Freak. Watch the trailer if you don’t believe me, and make the intelligent decision, don’t waste your money. I gave this movie a higher rating than it deserves because, like I said, a time and space travel geek.

I did not like this movie one bit. This movie is what I did not like. I cannot believe the creators of this movie decided to create a movie like this one. I went to the store with my mom the other day and begged her to get me something from redbox and when she finally agreed I was given this movie. Unbeknownst to myself this movie would be a complete dumpster fire. The director talked during the entire thing, which annoyed me to no end. The director talked so much that the majority of the time I could not even hear the actors. The one thing I did like about this movie was Sophie Turner ( who is so so so so so so so Cute and has so so so so much hair). She acted acted really really well because she was so so so so so cute and funny and amazing, sophie please be my friend. tag her so she will see this (please please). Therefore I give this movie that is suprisingly called time freak a 2.
