Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the barkeep sits down at the typewriter for the first time, there is a copy of "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein next to the typewriter. Heinlein is the author of the short story "All You Zombies" on which the movie is based.
- GoofsThe movie is set in an alternative universe where space travel in the 1960s was more advanced than in our world, and where New York was subject to a wave of terror attacks in the 1970s. There are agents patrolling the timeline, and may have left something behind. Most apparent anachronisms and factual errors can be excused by this notion.

Featured review
Interesting and captivating with a new twist to the classic formula. Great cinematography and excellent acting contribute to this refreshing Sci-Fi/Time Travel film.
Rising actress Sarah Snook with a stellar performance is backed by solid performances of both Hawke and Taylor.
Such movies usually suffer from failed attempts at originality and complexity boarding on confusion. This movie avoids both by not trying to surprise and shock the viewer but rather act more as a mystery novel - unfolding with precision, letting the viewers participate in the events and discoveries to come. Much like a good old Agatha Christie book would successfully do.
The Spierig brothers keep getting better with each movie and this is a great step forward in what seems to be a promising career.
There is nothing new under the Time Travel sun but the delivery is excellent which makes this movie worth watching - at least twice, as any good Time Travel movie requires.
