Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Wizard-8 I have to admit that I approached the time travel movie "Slipstream" with some hesitation when I saw that Louis Morneau was involved with the writing of the story. That's because years earlier, Morneau directed the time travel movie "Retroactive", which was next to incomprehensible. Happily, "Slipstream" proved to be a much better movie. The time travelling and the problems that it raises actually makes sense this time around, and it's easy to know what's going on. Also, the story plays out well, keeping up the viewer's interest and never getting boring. Though made on a low budget, there are some striking images and some good effects, though it's painfully obvious that this set-in-the-U.S. movie was shot in another country (South Africa, according to the closing credits.) Other problems include an obnoxious lead performance by Sean Astin, and a number of directorial touches that are way too flashy and pretentious. But if you're patient and can sit through rough patches such as those, you'll probably find this movie passable entertainment.

The_Bobinator While this may make me vulnerable to an immense deal of hate e-mail, I actually enjoyed Slipstream. I think the main reason people don't like this movie is because it's so different from other movies that nobody understands it. Of course, the meanings of the dialogue is probably lost in translation to other languages, which probably explains the amount of international bad reviews, but also, the mere amount of mind-boggling ideas in the movie probably wrote the average viewers right off. The slow startup of the movie deterred the impatient viewers. That's somewhere between one-third and one-half of the viewers right there. For the rest of us, though, who can actually stand through the mind mashers and the snore moments, this movie is actually solid. As for the storyline, you just need to wait for a little while. It'll show up.

Ilya Kutuzov Is there anyone here alive that HAS experienced time-traveling and knows from the experience what it feels like? If no, our discussing the matter is but a mind game. I may be wrong, but the only suspicious thing about this feature is its alleged intention to become a blockbuster (yes, the rotating camera and the slow mo!). Now, i never question the way a movie i like came into being. And i love movies with unexplainable holes, exaggerated gags, unmotivated behavior, unsophisticated dialogs, clicheyed punchlines, clumsy acting, because they are SO funny you can laugh yer ass off! (Of course if you put aside the Humpty Dumpty's posture for the time being - the highbrow attitude is not always a must to make one smile!) Besides, Slipstream has an above average soundtrack. Talking about homaging, ripping and other forms of cross-reference, i saw this movie as Master Samwise's dream he was having with the Ring on (something not shown in the LoTR). Roars of laughter. Though in fact this one could easy be 30% shorter simply for the riddim sake.

foundityet Slipstream is a decent film if you have an open mind. Yes Slipstream has its flaws. I ask name me one perfect film, that does not have a flaw? I truly enjoyed watching Slipstream. It had me on the edge of my seat trying to guess how it would end and really I was surprised. What makes a good film is they start off with a story, take you on a journey and give you a surprise ending and this film does that with quality! Listen if you are into details to the extreme extent what defines a quality film likely you glue your eyeball on to your TV screen to notice those green, and blue dots that make a color picture. Pull your head away and stop over analyzing every detail for you will never be satisfied always finding fault! First if you are a critic bent toward finding fault in any film, that does not fit your idea what defines quality you likely wont like this movie. Yet if you value a decent film, that takes a simple idea, gives a beginning, middle and conclusion, this movie does that decently. I liked the movie and could careless what some damn movie expert might say, my thought is don't listen to any critic for remember throughout history never has there been any statues or monuments erected to honor critics, but what they criticized we all remember duh!
