Reviews Counted:83

Average Rating:4.7/10

Consensus: A pleasant diversion for the young teens, but a waste of time for anyone older.

Runtime: 1 hr 33 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Zak Gibbs (Jesse Bradford) is a regular teenager who's only got girls and hot rods on his mind, but all that changes when he finds a watch developed by his scientist dad, Dr. George Gibbs (Robin Thomas). One day, while raking leaves with his friend Francesca (Paula Garces), he discovers the watch has special powers. It goes into "hypertime," speeding up the molecular structure of whoever's wearing it, so the rest of the world looks frozen, but is actually just moving much slower. At first Zak and Francesca have a lot of fun playing pranks on people while in hypertime, but soon they realize they are in grave danger. A corrupt corporate drone, Henry Gates (Michael Beihn), wants to use the watch for evil deeds and decides to kill Zak, his dad, and Francesca in the process. Gates kidnaps Dr. Gibbs and Zak and Francesca enlist the help of a kooky scientist, Dr. Earl Dopler (French Stewart, THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN). The rest is high action camp; it's like THE MATRIX for teens. All the action takes place to a pounding soundtrack that includes artists Smashmouth, Blink 182, Sugar Ray, and Kool Keith. [More]

Light, silly, photographed with colour and depth, and rather a good time.

Absurda, mas divertida, a premissa confere um certo grau de interesse ao filme, que ainda se beneficia do tom adolescente descompromissado.

However it may please those who love movies that blare with pop songs, young science fiction fans will stomp away in disgust.

Visually exciting sci-fi film which suffers from a lackluster screenplay.

Each actor does his very best to portray the characters realistically and perhaps their relative inexperience is a factor.
