95ers: Echoes (2013)
1/10
Don't waste your time

Every so often, a film is made that is so bad, it makes me cringe while I watch. Not laugh (my reaction to Plan Nine from Outer Space, for instance), but shake my head and wonder who could have foisted 90 minutes of such unutterable, irredeemable dreck on an unsuspecting world.

This is one of those movies.

I sat through it for as long as I could, hoping it would improve. It did not. The script, the direction, the performances, the editing. All uniformly abysmal.

As well, a decent high school play has better production values; one can't blame that fault on the lack of decent budget.

What makes me a bit angry are so many of these reviews. Seven or eight of the reviewers of this film have ONLY reviewed this film. If I were a suspicious sort, I'd think these folks were working with the filmmakers, trying to use the anonymity of the internet to turn this sow's ear into something vaguely resembling a silk purse.

Save your time, and money. There are many shows and films that depict time travel that are actually decent works. The Terminator series, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, Continuum, the 2014 X-Men flick and Deja Vu (Denzel Washington) are all watchable to verging on excellent. Almost all of these examples have a strong female lead, as the 95ers purports to have.

I will go so far as to say this: the first three seasons of Star Trek Enterprise have some time travel based episodes; as uneven and spotty as that show was, it's Citizen Kane compared to the 95ers.
