I did not plan to write review of this movie, but seeing about 10 1-ns in row here (rated by usefulness or whatever), followed with rating 10 - made me to do it. I think that there were some good ideas, scenes, dialogs in this movie, and acting was OK. The reason for hate is probably main character, actor playing it. Not some macho, charismatic one. I had more problems with actress playing Elise. Obviously more than 18 years, rather about 25. And was not impressed with her acting too. Although material was not impressive too. Most likeable character was wife, especially in first hour. Low budget, indeed. Despite some interstellar travels with speed near to light speed, cars on streets were like today cars. All it did not look as some even 'near' future with much more advanced technology. Ending was little disappointment, and a bit rushed in my opinion. There were some good points about political fights in elections, about depression. Overall, pretty inconsistent.

I believe that all people who ranked this movie as 1 urgently need a shrink. You can only see evil if there is evil within you. I was shocked by the amount of unhelpful comments about the film. The year 2022 surprised by the number of bad and boring movies that were released. Basically more of the same over and over again. The Time Capsule is a good surprise. I didn't have high expectations, but I decided to take a chance, especially after seeing the amount of haters. The film has good performances, a creative story and takes a different look at how love can withstand time. Brianna is very cute and deserves praise for her performance. It's important to remember that this movie doesn't have an unlimited budget, but I'm sure you'll like it.

What on earth was the point of this movie?? I've seen some positive reviews talking about how our main character is nostalgic, and conflicted, and relatable, and I'm just sitting here thinking: did we watch the same movie. And if our main character is relatable.... maybe have a seat right over there. Wow. The tl;dr is space travel/time dilation is used to set up a premise for a middle-aged politician to try and rekindle a childhood romance with a girl who is literally still a child. Oh wait, no, I recall the movie saying she'd "just turned 18", so that makes it... better??? Even if the ending avoided being as grim as the set-up allowed for, it's still deeply skeevy. This shouldn't have been made. It was slow-paced and uncomfortable. I guess if you're into middle aged men going after teenagers, this could be fun to watch. 'Oh but he was just trying to rekindle the emotional place of his youth' okay cool but he's doing it by kissing a teenager romantically. 'Oh but she came on to him first' do you hear yourself. Literally do you hear yourself. This was a bad movie.

There's some weird brigading going on in the reviews but here's my review from someone who watched it as a work of art rather than as a means to unrelated political statements. The movie tells the story of a politician who just lost a huge election and wonders what will make him happy. Here's where the sci fi premise comes in. His high school girlfriend just returned to earth after a failed attempt at colonizing another planet. Due to time dilation (a real, measurable phenomenon) she has barely aged while 20 years has gone by for Jack, the politician. This is not some creepy movie where Jack is physically attracted to Elise, his ex girlfriend, and decides he wants to leave his wife. Elise reminds him of a time when he was idealistic and passionate. These are traits he had when he entered politics but it's implied our political system has sapped the joy and enthusiasm out of his career. His wife wants him to continue but even before Elise shows up it's clear Jack is having a change of heart about his career, and by extension, his relationship with his very career minded wife. I won't spoil the ending but suffice to say Jack DOES NOT end up with 20 year old Elise. It seems, to me at least if not someone who seems to have written at least 10 reviews by him/herself, that the status of their friendship is left up in the air at the end of the movie. It's up to the audience to wonder what they will or, maybe, should do? I enjoyed it and I thought the age gap was handled with a lot of grace and care. The leads are all outstanding and while the movie is clearly on the lower side budget wise, the production values and cinematography appear to me to be excellent. My girlfriend cried at the end. I didn't but I never cry. We both agreed on what should happen but I won't spoil that. High recommended.

Aside from the premise being... bad. Just. Objectively bad. Aside from that, though, the movie was painfully boring. It's pitched as sci-fi while having barely any sci-fi elements. It's pitched as romantic or comedic while the comedy is absent entirely and the romance only expressed in a deeply inappropriate relationship. It's just a painfully slow predictable drag of our creepy main character trying to find self-worth by using a teenaged girl. It's not a novel concept and definitely not one worth indulging, no matter how 'cool' and 'original' the creators are desperately trying to sell the framework as being. Skip this movie. It isn't worth your time.

The premise (middle-aged man has a 'sci-fi' reason to get in a relationship with a teenager) was gross. The movie was incredibly predictable, charmless, and forgettable. If you want a sci-fi movie, there's so many better ones out there. The only sci-fi aspect to this was in creating a flimsy excuse for the creepy relationship to happen. It wasn't explored at all beyond that. If you want a romance, this is such an uncomfortable choice. A 'maybe Lolita would be more your speed' kind of choice. And if you want a comedy, just... watch anything else. This movie was painfully flat and took itself seriously, which was pretentious at best, given how little substance there was. It's a waste of time.

The HMay 23, 2023

Finally something with a unique story line, GREAT acting and cinematography and a slightly different but happy ending. This is destined to become a classic, a relatable second chance at love story, for years to come.

Vicky SangtaniMay 23, 2023

Writer director Erwann Marshall leverages an interesting premise to explore concepts around first loves, enduring friendships, compromises, second chances, and self rediscovery. Stars Todd Grinnell and Brianna Hildebrand skillfully navigate a complex and dynamic tension that successfully keeps the audience guessing. This is a thoughtful yet fun and touching movie that is definitely worth checking out!

A little bit of sci-fi, romance, and comedy makes for a movie that's not only worth watching, but it will make you think... What would you do for true love? What if you had a second chance?
