Lots of Mood but Confusing
Hitchcoc2 April 2019
A bunch of kids go to a tree house at night. Apparently, they have got their hands on a real time machine. One of the boys lost his mother but he needs to know how and why. They decide to travel back in time to find out what happened. The problem with these kinds of stories is that we are never made clear of the rules they are playing by. What are the unique qualities. What we have instead is a lot of yelling and posturing. The acting is terrible, by the way.

good intentions
Kirpianuscus14 April 2019
Friends in a tree house. The other. A noble purpoise for use a time machine. And that seems be all. The film has a lead sin - too many details. Too much agitation. And an obscure end. The lead good point - the good intentions and a touching story who, unfortunately, is reduced at a fragment from it.

What a waste of time
harmonyshrine23 February 2023
Spent the whole time waiting for some action or even explanation of how science kid built the machine. Nothing. A whole lot of chatting. Closeup of the token adult walking around for no reason. Finally, they activate it and the story ends. Where's the rest? How did this make it out of the writer's room?

My review is required to be longer so I am going to do to you what this story did to me - leave you hanging... Somebody once told me the world was macaroni So I took a bite out of a tree It tasted kind of funny so I spit it at a bunny And the bunny started cursing at me 1000 years later the bunny was...

I'm just an old Jarhead blessed w ADHD w a slightly different view!

I sometimes wonder why some folkseses evenbother going to movies sometimes, especially critics. My viewpoint on critics has simply been this: the problem w critics is... they're too doggone critical! Why not just enjoy the movie 1st? That is, see it in the unadulterated eyes of... a spectator, or in some cases, like a child. This is one of those films.

Put yourself in the shoes of that boy, especially if you were raised by a sgl parent. If you were in that boy's shoes & such an opportunity arose, would you be willing to take a chance?

If you're still thinking about if you would or not, you've already missed the point. This is also 1 of those intro's that deserves an answer.

That is, there should be a whole movie. You've got an excellent trailer. Now you need the rest of the movie. I think it would be like Bridge to Terabithia in 1 sense, along w Arthur & the Invisibles , & I'm sure there's others I'm not thinking of .

So the 9 is bc it's 1 star short... the rest of the movie!

That's all that leaked out from my ADHD-riddled brain on this wonderful... movie trailer.

This is 1 old Jarhead signing off... until we meet again... Take care & have a wonderful day. As son of the l8 gr8 Pres Reagan, Michael used to say at the close of his radio show, "Keep your nose down & your powder dry!" Gby (God bless you)
