Just saw the commercial for this.
Reminds me of Chronicle, except without the floating camera gimmick. Though, I like time travel, so as long as this doesn't turn out to be like Final Fantasy XIII 2, focusing on the dullest parts of time travel, I'm intrigued.
EDIT: Nevermind, just watched the trailer. The movie's shown from the first person. And it's exactly like Chronicle. Time travel is not a toy.

I'm here for our date, Rose!
After all the delays and bad word on the footage that was screened in the past, I expected critical savaging. Instead, it merely seems like it's an average flick, maybe below that.
Yeah, I got the Chronicle vibe from it too.

Just saw it. Pretty good movie even if it does use Timey-Wimey Ball.
This movie is just Minutemen done in the Chronicle "found footage" style.
Finally watched it... legally.
It wasn't terrible but they fudged "No running into your self". Surprisingly, it's not all "douchebags invent time travel". But... the twist involves the main character only, there's an event off-screen that throws off the rest of the plot if you miss it, and unlike Chronicle, the "found footage" bit isn't as believable.
And to end with yet another Chronicle comparison, the biggest weakness of this film, one review said, is that the protagonists don't really "have fun" with the main plot device.
My biggest let-down is that they didn't have to deal with their alternate selves all that much, and once the girlfriend vanished, the tension started to decline.

Looks about as inconsistent as possible, and uses every single time travel trope in the book.
