Safety Not Guaranteed The chemistry among the characters isn't explored and neither is detailed or given enough range and room to the viewers and also the actors to perform and factor in accordingly to justify the occurring events and the actions of the characters. The camera work could have been a lot better and neither is shot pleasingly to impress the audience and is short on other technical aspects like background score and editing too. The writing is strong and has potential premise to feed off the audience throughout its run time (of almost 90 minutes which is short and to-the-point and works in its favor) . Colin Trevorrow; the director, has done a decent work on executing but lacks to communicate with the audience through its characters and unfortunately verbal sparring too. The performance isn't convincing especially coming from the lead actors (Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass) makes it more disappointing. It hits hard and fast and moves swiftly in front of the viewers but the issue in here is that it fails to create the anticipated impact on screen. Safety Not Guaranteed is a risk not worth taking as it all narrows down to a moot point that the makers sweat to make.

It is a fairy tale - and kind of a homage to the old "the Time Machine" movie/tale.The time machine itself is - from the start of it - just a plot device; - no one, not the protagonists, nor the audience ever really beliefs that it is real - but it acts as a very good anchor for so many interactions and even a little bit of suspense.I was actually caught off guard when it turned out that it did not only exist - but actually worked in the end.The story itself is simple, by no means even remotely creative - but utterly predictable - yet very charming. I loved the actors and the whole story.For me - it is a little but bright gem .. it will not make cinema history or even become mainstream - but it is such an adorable movie to have seen.

This is a love story. Dalius is an inter-ship student. She wants to go back to the past. Simularly, Kenneth wants to go to back past in order to help a woman who he loves so that he made time machine. In the beginning, Dalius meets Kenneth in order to report for article, but gradually they like each other. In particular, Kenneth makes several things secret in the beginning but gradually talks about himself to Dalius. on the other hand, I'm interested in Jeff. Jeff is a journalist. In fact, Jeff tries to meet Liz who is relationship between Jeff. Though Jeff meets Liz and together over night, Liz refuse to live together . I think Jeff realize that youth is not long. Jeff takes Arno and pick up three girls and go theme park. Jeff cries. Jeff makes Arno be together overnight with a girl. In the last, I think Dalius feel Kenneth's kind so Dalius becomes feminine.

This is a fun and a strange film. Darius who serves her internship at a Seattle magazine office meets Kenneth who puts an advertisement in a news paper. He believes he can do time traveling, so he searches for someone who will do the challenge with him. He becomes sick of his life and wants to change it through time traveling to 2001. At first, Darius gets close to him to write an article, but she also regrets what she did before, so she gets sympathizing with him.Darius and Kenneth seem eccentric and dark persons foe people around them in the beginning. However, they regain the brightness because of each other.I thought this is not a bright film at first, but actually, my heart got warm and I enjoyed it in the end. There are some uncertain things, so I said this is a strange film, but I like this.
