There are time travel flicks that are good, and those that are terrible. Then there's this type, which is just jumbled. Typical trope: girl goes into the past to find her unknown family. The thing different in this one is that she is fully aware of the three different possibilities in time travel... and pretty much throws them all out the window just 'cos she really really wants to do this. Messed up jumbled stuff follows, as would be expected.
To give an idea without spoilers, see if anyone can answer this question: WHY did (unnamed character) try to shoot her at the beginning? I found no. Reason. Whatsoever. Throughout the entire film for that scene. I'm sure the writer and director knew why, but it sure didn't come across in the film.
See... in movies... the idea is for the director to let the audience in on what's happening and why. There's not much of that here.
The plot was interesting enough to maintain attention, but it somewhat screamed "amateur hour" all the way through. The ending is predictable (can't say more because of spoilers), but at the same time they just leave things hanging at the end... and the ending is fairly abrupt without even a clue as to what might happen next. Many reviewers have commented on this, and they're right.
If I wanted to invent my own ending, I'd write my own script... and I could probably do a better job than this flick.
Some of the acting is halfway decent. Some is half-baked. The script is pretty disjointed. The kinda-twist ending viewers see coming way ahead of time.
You can save time in your own life by giving this one a pass.
