    It was an exciting movie. The switch ending was a little unbelievable. The nudity in one of the scenes of the movie was unjustifiable and unnecessary. Overall, it was a good movie.

    This had nothing to do with time travel really. It is a murder mystery regarding insurance fraud. Supposedly, a metal brief case arrives mysteriously (from the future) and contains murder files of a professor of physics, The clues leading up to the conclusion were inconsistent if not simply circumstantial. The series does not keep your attention and does absolutely nothing regarding the time travel aspect except that the professor's daughter must have sent it from the future. The story is not really true to its premise of either a time travel story nor a mystery. A mystery has clues and you can figure things out. This series just laid them out inconsequentially and sloppily. Also, there is EXPLICIT FULL NUDITY of dancers at a strip club which again was not necessary and excludes your children from watching this! This series was messed up! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FILM FOR ANYONE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN!

    Above-average for a Sci-Fi Channel miniseries. It held my attention reasonably well and thought it was pretty well acted. The first part of the miniseries was probably the most interesting though, and it began to drag a little in the middle. Also the resolution was a little unsatisfying.
