- I hoped this would mix the usual time travel tropes with relevant social issues. It doesn't. While this could almost be a kid's movie, the children are profane. I don't have an issue with that generally, but in a movie that seems part kids' movie it's a mismatch. While the movie at no point is good, the lack of a conclusion took me from turned off to irritated. What a waste of time.
