. As a child, like any child, I loved children's family films with a pretentious plot and bright visuals: "Spy Kids", "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava", "Agent Cody Banks", "Ritchie Rich's Strange Christmas", but "Time Stoppers "Somehow passed me by, and it's more bad than vice versa. Because as a child, I probably would have liked it. And now it's more like a cheap cheap episode of a series like Hannah Montana, except that it looks more expensive. But the general level of staging, acting, plot is the same. Humor is sorely lacking, the dialogues seem to be written by a couple of schoolchildren left after school, and in general the film looks like a caricature of the films listed at the beginning. The only advantages of the picture are visual solutions that are not bad for 2002, related to the stoppage of time, and a relatively small running time of one hour twenty. If the movie had gone longer, I would probably have broken the laptop screen, unable to continue watching the antics on the screen and the incredible absurdity of what is happening. In general, I expressed my opinion, but it's up to you to decide whether to watch this picture or, after reading the reviews, never think about it again (in the name of good films and bright childhood memories). Do not flatter yourself at the expense of the plot, trying to talk about the benefits or perniciousness of games over time. Youth fiction / comedy chose this topic only for games ... with special effects (2002 - the time when the Matrix trilogy had not yet ended and the creators, of course, were eager to repeat the famous "bullet time"). In general, I don't want to make claims that this is a superficial and clumsy teenage film, completely devoid of real irony and satire, because time does not spare such tapes anyway (for that year it was edible, albeit optional nonsense, from which the target audience could get some pleasure).
