Review of Time Trap

Time Trap (2017)
6/10
Not exactly a mind bender but the ideas are there
26 January 2020
Time trap is sort of a mix of the 80ties adventure films (which they reference a lot in this) and a low budget sci-fi that has a general understanding of what it wants to be but goes off the rails along the way.

But beware, this is not a thinking man's low budget sci-fi.

It has an interesting start and feels quite engaging at first, young women are a little oversexualized here but this is for the younger male audiences I'm sure.

While the premise seems obvious enough it still takes a lot of time for the characters to actually start dealing with the story. They really should've spent more time on something interesting rather than running around, which they do in excess. They just throw more and more at you and then the ending sort of comes out of nowhere.

Without digging too much into the story, I kind of enjoyed this as a sci-fi fan just for the general idea of it. It was still unfocused and all over the place but I give them credit for sticking with their own ideas.

This could've been easily improved with some writing adjustments but it's fine for what it is. Not exactly a family adventure film and not really a budget intelligent sci-fi but something in-between.
