A low-budget time travel piece more in the mould of Shane Carruth's Primer, or Nacho Vigalondo's Los cronocrimenes, favouring ideas over effects, and like the two antecedents mentioned, attempting to make lack of budget a matter of no import. This would work if it managed to be coherent, and it does start promisingly, with an amnesiac man repeatedly waking up in hospital either injured or uninjured, displaced with increasingly regularity to the apparent end of the world. He comes to believe it's within his power to stop that end. So far, so good, but then the film's logic and structure fail badly, which is vital for making it a meaningful exercise. Marks for trying, but unfortunately not for end product.
4/10
