Movie review: Time Loop

Whilst researching time movement, a father and his son accidentally create a time machine. Realizing what they have created, the two also realize actions in the past may have dire consequences for the future.

Sam Gittins (Ricky), Mino Sferra (Riccardo), Ellie Poussot (Celestine), Eliana Manvati (Olivia).

Time Loops begins with Ricky and Riccardo performing experiments while at the same time coming to realize they have accidentally created a time machine. Contemplating their creation, the two also begin to realize their actions in the past may have dire consequences for the present and future. As the two try and manage the machine and their impact on time, they finally realize time itself is something of a trap.

Acting was disappointing at first, but got better as the film evolved and ended up as only a mild disappointment. Gittins felt somewhat unemotional through much of the film, while Sferra didn't feel authentic at all. Poussot, Manvati, and the remainder of the supporting cast felt inexperienced.

Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are decent considering this looks to be a lower budget film. Effects are mild but fitting. Dialogue was okay but could have had more depth. Sound and soundtrack are okay.

Overall Time Loop is a nice idea that never generated much energy and lacked quality touches. That said, as a low budget Italian sci-fi the film is pretty good. Those who want big-screen polish will be very disappointed with this one while those who enjoy project or Indie films should enjoy the story.

Nothing here to limit audience age. Teens and above should be fine watching Time Loop.
