Usually, I would research the movie before I watch and if it has a rating like the current 4.9 on imdb, then I would just skip it. It so happened that my phone died so I just watched the movie since it was in my Netflix watch list.
And I'm glad I did because it is a fun movie. Some negative reviews said it was tedious - it wasn't. There was no point where like some other movies I've watched, where I was checking to see how much time was left. Movie was paced well and moved along briskly.
Other negative reviews criticized the intended audience and the swearing. The movie is realistic in the social aspect - this is how things really are. Young people that age really do talk like that so what if they curse and say the n word?
Finally, most of the negative reviews criticized the ending. Seriously, I get frustrated with ambiguous endings a lot of times but I immediately got the point. If you think about it you'll get the meaning to. No spoilers here though.
Overall, it's not a masterpiece but it was a really fun watch that I can't really say anything bad about and I'm really surprised at the negative reviews. The movie has a lot of Caribbean flavor so that was exciting to see as I'm from the Caribbean also. The only thing they might not have gotten right might be some of the technical details of time travel but so what? It's still a nice little popcorn flick that you can just relax and watch for an hour and a half.
