I just completed watching this film for the 3rd time and appreciate it more with each viewing. This debut effort by writer/director Kevin James Barry succeeds on many levels. The plot is complex and provides depth of character development. The acting is not only excellent but seemed to improve as the movie progressed giving the viewer a feeling of familiarity with the characters as the characters became familiar with each other. This created an emotional attachment to the lead character Serena (very well played by actress Evalena Marie). The film is very cleverly divided into three time segments starting with a flash to the future then to the past then to the end. So in essence this sci-fi action movie about time travel actually transported the viewer through time with the characters while leaving the viewer ultimately wondering if the characters in fact did their own time travel. I cannot wait to see future efforts by this director.
