Needle in a Timestack
This is a love story set in a sci-fi fantasy world. The title pretty much hints towards what to expect. Nick (Leslie Odom Jr) is married to Janine (Cynthia Erivo). His ex is Alex (Freida Pinto). Her ex is Tommy (Orlando Bloom). Time shifts & time travel are normal accepted occurrences. Nick suspects Tommy of trying to get back with Janine by altering the timeline but with each time shift memories fade & then lost. There is little doubt from the beginning where this story will end up, just not how it gets there. This love quadrilateral is slow to develop & there doesn’t seem to be any consequences for an individual’s actions for their own personal gain. In this fantasy world, it may be hard to believe what is real because all it takes in lots of money to change things. It’s a better love story than a sci-fi story.
Alien gives it 2 “time jaunt” stars out of 4.
