Time Lapse (2014)

the audience applauded

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

A lot of fun.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Decided to give this movie a shot after seeing it on a recommended list and seeing it had a decent IMDb score, and boy did I regret it. To no surprise 90% of the users that rated 8 or higher have this as their only review and their accounts were created shortly before or after the movie's release. The premise was original I guess, but the character's logic was non-existent and the acting was just terrible. Every line sounded like it was being read directly off the script. I've never felt compelled to actively review/rate a bad movie but I had to offset at least one of the fake reviews that tricked me into wasting my time on this trash.

Time Lapse is one of those movies that rely on several contrivances to have much of a plot. Right away one is left wondering why the trio didn't merely buy a lottery ticket instead of betting on greyhound races, much less bet them thru a bookie. I didn't need the pictures the machine popped out to know what was going to happen next. Still, it was fairly entertaining right up until the very end, when in it totally goes off the rails and stops making sense. Instead of getting pictures of tomorrow's events, which had been the premise of the movie, suddenly Callie is leaving herself "camera notes" to carry out tomorrow events that have already occurred in the present. By that point though I was ready for the ending. The main trio of actors did do a fine job with their characters, especially Danielle Pannabaker. Too bad the writer couldn't have come up with a better ending.

It has a very great plot, the acting is not that well and it has a low budget production. But don't get me wrong it's worth watching. Great plot!So take a chance and watch it on netflixps. Hope you like the ending.

I have seen plenty of movies, some of them being horribly boring. Time Lapse is unfortunately among the worst movies I have seen in a while. I give it 0 out of 10. For me, the story, the acting, the lines, everything is just terrible. During the movie, I was looking at my watch and after 35-40 minutes of the movie, I almost stopped it. But I continued to watch it. There is no suspense, no thrill, nothing at all. I was not captivated by the whole story line and actions. Maybe my opinion will be harsh for some people, but I don't think that this movie is worth it. I was looking forward to this movie because, at first, the plot looked good, but Time Lapse didn't meet my expectations. I don't really think that this movie is consistent and there were lots of actions that were predictable. The only positive thing that I would say about this film is that the concept of the movie seems interesting. However, it was badly developed and so I only see negative results in the acting and story.
