Most of the comments here are true. Yes, it CAN be seen as boring. Yes, the acting is not the best. Yes, the plot has it's holes.However, the ones who praise it also have their point.I for one really enjoyed it. It may be for the unique twist to having "superpowers" like stopping time. Someone else called it "not a science fiction movie, but a character study". And that is certainly true.I would have been disappointed, had I expected an action-laden superhero-movie with lots of surprises and SFX.Without these expectations, I am really glad to have seen it. Certainly not for everyone, but if you saw "The Quiet Earth" and liked it, this one is a must!What would you do if you could stop time?

I wasn't expecting much about this movie, but I wasn't expecting it to be as bad either. I just finished watching the movie and I came here to read what other people had to say and, to my surprise, others claim to have enjoyed it... So, after dragging myself through the movie I just felt the urge to create an account in IMDb leave my comment. The movie is slow, the plot makes little sense and the ending is very disappointing. It's about a guy who loses his family in a car crash and then finds out he's got a camcorder which can stop time. What?! Plus, this is never given any sort of explanation, anything that would make any sense. I wasn't looking for a scientific argument, just some sort of reasoning behind the plot. From that point onwards, the movie just keeps going down (very, very slowly). Really, a total wast of time. You'll do yourself a favor by skipping this one.

Okay, so I watched this just to watching something non-big studio and I can enjoy it for that...however, I just kept getting knocked back by the inconsistent logic of the script and the blatant abuse of physics in regards to both DV cameras and batteries....worse than Cloverfield.... It was shot well, the acting was fine, the sound was good, the score was good...all those elements, all those variables were in place....but there was no "why" to the equation of why the hero was acting the way he was acting.... 1. he loses his family 2. he starts obsessing on the other girl involved in the accident 3. he kidnaps her as part of his obsession....okay, so he lost his family and substitutes this girl for the family he lost, fortunately, she is cute and perky, not gross looking, so we as an audience can understand his behavior, although it's slack casting to create a girl that ANYONE would start liking if they lost the rest of their family..no challenge thereBut the continued plot device of the camera switching out of pause mode...okay, we get it, why doesn't he? Why not take more than two batteries...take ten...and man, that guy left finger prints everywhere....I get the story, he loses it after his family dies and needs a "new family"...but he does it in a creepy way of stalking the girl....and it had to be THAT girl because she was the one involved in the accident.... However, if all he wanted was to be around her, why push it any further? He could have lived out his days hanging out with herDoI recommend it? Yeah, it has a lot of good qualities...just not enough energy.....a good thing to learn never to do is have people talk on the phone for a long time....just no reason to and it slows down the film....Would I watch another film by these filmmakers? Absolutely

Of all the movies I saw concerning extraordinary powers this one approaches the story using another angle. The others are usually more the American style or action movies with many special effects, explosions and of course the necessary love-story. In contrary this one is just different. No fancy explosions, no real action scenes. At some time you could feel a kind of little stress in compassion for certain people, but the slowness of the movie compensates. The 'stop time' principle is really linked to very slow and relaxing moments with soft, slow music. The story itself is not really spectacular, the image quality neither. If you have nothing special this movie I could consider it as 'an option'.
