GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

TheLittleSongbird Believe it or not, Slipstream did have an intriguing idea and did have potential to be good. Unfortunately it squandered this potential by very poor execution. The effects are actually not too bad and neither is the scenery, but I couldn't really enjoy them with the lighting being so dull and the overuse of rotating shots. The dialogue verged on cheesy and stilted, the pacing was dull and meandering and the story was predictable and by the ending(which was little more than a clichéd cop-out) contrived also. There are even seemingly two versions of the same scene, both poorly written and have no sense of continuity within each other or the film. The time travel stuff had potential to be interesting but turned out incomprehensible instead, and there are no well-developed or likable characters, made to do clichéd and irritating things. The acting is also poor, Sean Astin is good with worthwhile material but is stuck when not so, his performance here is the latter, coming across as annoying instead. Vinnie Jones' acting is also limited for the same reason. Even the soundtrack was convoluted, just a string of tunes that added nothing to the story or the atmosphere. Overall, the concept was good, and the scenery and effects were better than I thought, but the film itself tried too hard and ended up failing big-time to thought-provoke, entertain or even maintain interest. 2/10 Bethany Cox

bat-40 there are bad movies. slipstream happens to be a real bad one. the idea itself is cool. but that's it. really. bad script. bat acting. stupid characters. plot holes.come on, the bank-robbers in the bus start to sing? i just don't believe this is real. i feel i've just lost another 80 minutes precious time.the explanation, which characters can travel back in time, and what will remain the same (clothes, money, but not the bullets) is a joke. probably the best part is, when the time-travel-ipod-like-gadget gets hooked on via USB to a laptop, because it's screen broke. you can probably think, that this movie is a spoof of its own. avoid this one.go and watch "the butterfly effect".

nandputnam This almost feels as if a Schizophrenic was getting Alzheimers. Maybe it is a parody on the movie industry. However, when we work to show a purpose for living, I believe Sir Anthony is looking in vain if all there is to life is time. We are better than that. Movies portray the greatness of man and man at his worst. Each one of us touches other human beings and movie makers can make people think or let people escape. While this film may make one think, it is very confusing and it bounces off the wall. Great movies such as "The Lion in the Winter" was complicated, showed human weakness and human spirit. Sir Hopkins' role as the writer in this is just too strange to wrap one's mind around and understand. I could not escape nor could I relate to the characters with my life experiences. Therefore, I cannot rate this film highly.

Claudio Carvalho What could I expect of a movie with Sean Astin in the lead role of a scientist? I have just watched "Slipstream" and I am amazed how awful this movie is: it is incoherent, with bad acting, full of holes in the screenplay and with some of the worst dialogs I have ever heard in a film. I read the excellent lead review from smash016 called "Mere pretentiousness" that practically exposes and summarizes everything I wanted to say about this crap, in a very funny style. As a movie lover, I usually try to see the good and positive points of a movie, but in "Slipstream" I have nothing good to highlight. Do not waste your time and money with this garbage. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Contra o Tempo" ("Against the Time")
