Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Powerful

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Ignoring Anna Faris' part in 'Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel' it's basically fair to say that the film was made with no major stars and even less of a budget. To claim that it's predictable may be a little unfair, but it probably won't surprise you too much. But that's not to say that it's not worth watching.Three British losers go to the pub and inadvertently get stuck in a time loop that will – no doubt – destroy life on the planet unless it's fixed. And, if you've seen the front cover, you may have read the tagline 'Shaun of the Dead meets Dr Who.' Yes, that's about it. I could almost leave the review there. That's pretty much all you need to know about it. It has the 'low budget' feel of an old (yes, not even the recent post-Christopher Eccelston) Dr Who interwoven with the lovable rogue kind of lads we rooted for in Shaun's zombie rom-com.In short, it relies on script over anything else. And the script isn't that bad. I've watched it twice now and, although nothing in it really made me laugh for a long time, there are enough chuckles in the banter between the three guys to make it worth watching. Plus if you're a fellow nerd (that's me, too – although the film points out that the 'n-word' is a way of keep us 'imagineers' down!) you'll probably get the multiple references to numerous science fiction films (Aliens and Flash Gordon being the two most notably ones).The acting is what you'd expect from three likable losers, although the 'love plot' when Anna Faris comes into it seems a little forced.Overall, if you like sci-fi, if you like script-driven humour over special effects and are forgiving on the 'made-for-TV' feel to the movie, then give it a go. It's the definition of 'cheap and cheerful' and it should just raise enough smiles to make it worth your while.

OWN WARNING: possible spoilers about time lines (but no real spoilers about the plot). This movie already has a lot of reviews, a lot of them give it a bad score which I do not understand. Let me elaborate on that some more.But first I will agree, it might not be the most funny movie. With this I mean it doesn't have an avalanche of silly jokes. But it is definitely British humor. And there are hilarious moments.Having said that, it IS a great movie. Especially if you are into time travel Sci-fi. I guess that is what put a lot of people off. You have to be able to keep track of the story. This movie has made a great effort to make sure everything fits. For instance, when they travel back in time, you will see their alternates in the background. Details like that make it a great movie in my opinion, because a lot of films can contain inconsistencies. And the maker of this film has made sure that it all fits together. If you watch this movie for a second time, these are great little details to pay attention to. They are definitely not obvious when you watch it for the first time, but you will notice them on you second viewing.All in all if you love time travel movies, this is a must see.

There are very few movies on time travel and very few which are worth watching among them,if you are into sci-fi you will really really like this movie!,you do not have to be exceptionally clever(but not exceptionally dumb) to understand this movie Plot:7.5/10Funny?: Yes ,some scenes will give you a good laughWhat's different about it: The plot keeps you interested in the movie until the end..this the movie does without any great special effects and nudity :D..Worth Watching?:yes!

FAQ About Time Travel has that unique charm of a very low-budget film made by people truly committed to the subject matter. It's obvious that this is not a studio-conceived film made to cash in on current trends or appeal to a wide audience; this is a film made by nerds for nerds - or "imagineers". In contrast to the hit show "The Big Bang Theory" which is devoted to portraying fans of science fiction and science enthusiasts as socially inept, borderline autistic, insufferable jerks, for the entertainment of the general public, FAQ presents these people in a much more realistic and affectionate light, and the film is really enjoyable for anyone who has been called a nerd by society. It shoots references to science fiction film and literature, twisting and playing with ideas explored in the genre many times before, and so its appeal is probably limited to fans of the genre, but for them it's highly recommended.
