Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) 9/10

Starring : Chris O’Dowd, Marc Wootton, Dean Lennox Kelly, Anna Faris
Director : Gareth Carrivick
Running Time : 79 mins

Ray (O’Dowd), Toby (Wootton) and Pete (Kelly) are three friends who find themselves in a pub discussing their career prospects and time travel, so when Ray is approached by Cassie (Faris), a girl who claims to hail from the future, he obviously suspects a prank by his friends. It’s only when Pete is transported into a future where everyone in the pub has been murdered that the three start to suspect that something very strange might be going on…

I was pleasantly surprised when I sat down to watch this as it had little or no advertising in the UK. The plot was tight and clever, and all the elements of time travel came together beautifully. Although slightly reminiscent of the Red dwarf episode Stasis Leak, this still had enough originality to make it an instant classic, at least in my mind.
