i watched this film last night and loved it.
it is daft and confusing and features chibi eita and ueno juri.
well cast all round, good story from start to finish, colourful and
pretty mental all the way through.
i have to say i was exhausted from laughing and shouting in frustration
when this finished. the laughing was from great moments like the guy
unexpectedly smacking his head on the locker door, and them all going
uwaa!! in unison every five minutes,
and the shouting in frustration was due to the absolute stupidity of
some characters running around with no sense when they should have just
got on with what they were supposed to be doing instead of
making everything worse and worse!
usually films about time travel are either very sh*t or just too confusing
especially when they try to follow the old physics of time being a straight line
(which causes paradoxical problems and it just makes for mind melting
soul crumbling unfollowable plots...)
but if done well it can be fun to explore that world of paradoxes and the
calamity that can occure when f*cking about with the time line.
they have the balance right with this film. explaining the time line a little
and then being complete retards for the rest of the time. actually even when
they are explaining the time line stuff they are still being cpmplete retards.
its very stupid and infuriating but totally watchable.
its no way as confusing or complicated
as primer or any other such bending the time line type films (which i
usually have to watch 3 or 4 times in a row so i even get half of it)
to sum up:
a mushroom man from the future, an air conditioning unit's broken remote control,
a bunch of usless guys bursting into a dark room like its not gonna spoil everything,
playing baseball paradoxically stretched across two seperate days,
and the origins of kappa suprisingly revealed in a mess of accidental timetravel.
basically the sci fi club (who hate sci fi)
break their air con unit's remote, a time machine randomly appears,
they use it to go back and get the remote before it gets broken,
they start to freak out about paradoxes,
some of them are too busy d*cking about to get the f*cking point,
and i start banging my head on the wall and shouting
*just go back now you idiots!*
all the while the farce becoming more and more stupid.
it all wraps up nicely. the end is great and still very stupid.
it is lighthearted, unless like me you get this wound up by
people d*cking about and potentially ruining the flow of time
when they should be getting a f*cking move on,
and there are some really really funny slapstick moments
i hurt myself laughing so hard
...and should have contained my frustration a little - its a
good job my wall is wood not plaster or there would be a dent.
i think i woke up with a little concussion this morning.
