Review: +1
By Steve Wood
A huge college party quickly turns violent and confusing as a strange phenomenon is causing people to be duplicated, but it’s more confusing than that – the first time the doubles appeared was inside the house, disappear and then reappear again outside, all while the original people are slightly ahead in terms of time. As time progresses, the doubles are slowly catching up to the original group. This must sound strange, and believe me it is. I really wish I could expound on that further, but I can’t, which is fine, because the movie should do that for me…but it couldn’t explain anything either.
A very interesting premise, but set against a lame backdrop. There isn’t anything new or refreshing when it comes to a college party, since we’ve seen these types of things dozens of times before. Besides, nothing could ever top Can’t Hardly Wait or American Pie 1 or 2 in terms of house parties.
Time travelling movies are really hard to ever “grasp”, both as the filmmaker and the viewer. There will always be paradoxes, and since this could never actually happen, we accept these leaps in logic. This film is essentially the time travel version of Chronicle, and by that I mean the budget is minuscule, and the cast is unknown, yet turns out great and is a staple in their given genres.
While there isn’t really much to give commentary on, this is a more than capable entry into the ever confusing time travel genre. It could be considered a pro or a con by not ever giving any insight to what is happening, and in this case I’d say it was a definite pro.
+1 is worth checking out, if you’re the slightest fan of time travel I’d say it’s a safe bet you’ll be into this.
7/10
