   Time Lapse is an indie film about a camera that takes pictures of the future. The characters stumble on it after the untimely death of their scientist neighbor and go on to change their lives, simply making sure the next pic of their living room is exactly as the camera "foretells" it. But have they surrendered free will? Or are they willing their future? Just how much control do they have? Time Lapse is a tight little thriller, filmed with little means, but able to keep your interest despite it taking place mostly between the same four walls. It's a bit of a puzzle movie, but doesn't feel like it. John Rhys-Davies has a strange bit part, but the only other "name" star is Danielle Panabaker, currently starring on The Flash. Nothing groundbreaking, especially stylistically, but a well-constructed "Twilight Zone" type flick that'll have you asking questions. 8 years 6 months ago

   Sci-fi topics about time and alternative realities provoke thoughts about determinism and free will. Same goes for movies that use those topics, no matter how bad they are. If it's +1, The Adjustment Bureau, The Matrix, Primer, Looper, Source Code, Predestination, Donnie Darko, Waking Life or Abre los ojos, they always seem to have an effect on my thinking about those subjects. Time Lapse is no different. Some reading on the net about this film taught me about the bootstrap paradox and Novikov's self-consistency principle. Exactly the kind of ideas I love to read and learn about after watching a film like Time Lapse. Although the acting wasn't that good (at all, actually) and it wasn't a visually daring or striking film, I found joy in discussing some metaphysics afterwards. Isn't the ability of provoking such thoughts an accomplishment to be taken into account when rating a film like this? I certainly think so. Entertaining stuff, probably too obvious and lame for science-geeks, but some philosophy majors and genre aficionado's will have fun with this. 9 years 3 months ago
