I really liked this movie. I was thrilled very early in the movie when students of color were shown as intelligent, interested in science, and headed for academic scholarships. As opposed to others' opinions, I thought the BLM message was conveyed extremely well. I do wish that the language hadn't been so filthy, as this concept was a worthy one. Sure, BLM can be dealt with in a serious drama, but what a great idea to do a Disney-style (ok, foul-mouthed Disney) scifi movie! The time-travel gear was cute and obviously non-scientific, so you weren't supposed to take it seriously. The ending lost 3 stars, though.

Preposterous as a piece of sci-fi, with time travel gimmicks that don't ring true. The film is unusual in its styling too. It's often played out like a Disney channel movie, yet littered with expletives that rule out family viewing. The film ends unsatisfactorily too; for me, at least. But despite the negatives, kudos should be awarded to the urban setting, and the effort to bring a blacklivesmatter plot in a sci-fi context. Not a great film then, but certainly an interesting one.

Extremely "wannebee" politically correct movie. With an (even more extremely) bad ending. Dont waste your time. Perhaps if you are 'of color' you'd find some way to enjoy the movie. Then still it has a crap ending though.

I think overall the movie was okay, but could have been a lot better with even the most minor of twerks. At this point since I've seen about 85,000 time travel movies I'm not looking for an explanation on how it works, but the movie doesn't do a good job at following it's own rules which is indicative of making it up as they go along. Any good story needs an outline that needs to be followed or it can fall apart at the seems. I don't understand why the movie basically presented it as a "one or the other" deal with Calvin and Sebastian. Like no matter what, [spoiler] one of them has to die.[/spoiler] That part being the main focus plot of the movie is never explained and really doesn't make any sense, so it being the "glue" of the movie it's easy to see how and why things start crumbling a bit here. Then there's the ending, like alright I can buy an open ending if the rest of the story is pretty much resolved but this felt more like they were like "Shit, there's no way we're gonna be able to explain this, let's just call it a wrap." So yeah, it had potential and wasn't unenjoyable to watch, but the more you actually think about it the more you're like "Wait a minute though..."
