CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Eddie Cantillo Clockstoppers (2002) Starring: Jesse Bradford, Paula Garcés, Robin Thomas, French Stewart, Michael Biehn, Julia Sweeney, Garikayi Mutambirwa, Lindze Letherman, Jason George, Ken Jenkins, Tony Abatemarco, and Brian J. Williams Directed By: Jonathan Frakes Review THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME, IN A FEW MERE SECONDS. After I saw the Nostalgia Critic review this looked liked something I would enjoy, like one of those early 2000's teen movies, like Get Over It and The Nice Guy. I don't give them much credit but I do like those films. Until now, Zak Gibbs' greatest challenge has been to find a way to buy a car. But when he discovers an odd wristwatch amidst his father's various inventions and slips it on – something very strange happens. The world around him seems to come to a stop, everything and everybody frozen in time. Zak quickly learns how to manipulate the device and he and his quick-witted and beautiful new friend, Francesca, start to have some real fun. As we all now when Zak gets the watch he first uses it on accident, then his love interest finds out and after the plot shows up. That just seems very standard in these types of movies. It's very cliché in that manner. The acting is okay, there's nothing really special about the film, the concept of time travel has been done before. Not much is new with it. The effects they hold up pretty well for a 15 year old movie. This was also during the time when they was a bunch of spy movie's for kids, like Spy Kids, Agent Cody Banks movies and this. Clockstoppers is nothing special, its just a fun popcorn flick, that you can watch with your kids that's just decent. I'm giving it 6 hypertime watches out of 10.
deathklams The previews for this movie were VERY misleading. Some critics deemed it "Back to the Future" for a new generation. To me, this statement is blasphemy. Back to the Future is a classic. The fact that people would compare it to this film is offensive. This movie was not entertaining AT ALL. Am I wrong, or are movies supposed to be entertaining? I respect Jonathan Frakes, but he made a bad decision in directing this terrible movie. Poor acting, stupid plot, and no entertaining elements. Granted, the idea that one could stop time using a watch is somewhat interesting, but the movie did not make it interesting at all. To quote Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down!"
cinesiteforever This is a film without any sense. It's really boring and badly. I haven't got any reason to save this work. Jonathan Frakes kicks to me with his awful direction. The cast is horrible, specially French Stewart and the 28 years old Paula Garcés who plays a teenager! The leader actor Jesse Bradford is grey and he is not funny. I can't understand to the writers. do they have any brain? No they don't. They know to Albert Einstein but they don't know the Mechanics. How can you drive a car in the hypertime without problems? you are in and out the hypertime and there's no problem with your bones? OK, it's a movie made for the kids but only if they are five months old or less.
brian-672 from the beginning I didn't have the highest of expectations for clockstoppers; I knew it was going to be a fantastical fiction that was far from reality. I was simply hoping to sit down, turn off my brain, and be entertained. But come on, this is just insulting. The entire movie is riddled with so many plot holes, I am troubled to think that somebody actually sat down and wrote it. However the acting and special effects are all you could hope for from a Nick movie, and to be honest the ideas behind it are very entertaining. In short, not a bad movie to watch with a young kid, but if you find yourself constantly screaming, "Whhaaaaatt?!?" at your TV, don't say I didn't warn you.
