I'm not sure what people were expecting going into this film. It is not an in depth scientific investigation into time travel. Basically it is a teen movie with time travel as a back drop.
A Science buff in high school, finds his fathers plans for a machine that can travel back in time, and successfully builds it. Of course, after some trials, they try and use it for their own gain, but it has a limited range. As the movie progresses, things escalate and the teens become more reckless, fulfilling their own wishes. Of course, travelling back in time has consequences. Paradoxes and the butterfly effect.
The actors are all pretty good and likeable, but the shaky and off kilter camera work is a bit annoying at times.
Also, some of the things that happen, that the cast never think are odd, even knowing they have access to time travel and don't make the connection.
Despite its faults, I did enjoy this movie, but I did deduct a star for the unsatisfying ending. So 6 stars.
