95ers: Echoes (2013)
8/10
A great little indie sci-fi
9 January 2013
95ers: ECHOES is an ambitious, ultra low budget sci-fi flick. (I think some of the reviewers out there might be expecting a big budget epic or something, and are disappointed when they see how indie it is.) It's an extremely original time travel tale... with an interesting Christmassy ghost story thread. The acting is decent, and the effects are surprisingly good for an indie movie. The only complaint one might have is the pacing. It's a bit slow here and there, but after a second viewing you realize how much detail is packed into the scenes. There are plenty of cool payoffs if you stick around until the end. It's different approach to time travel--lots of quantum physics stuff for science geeks. If you liked Memento and Frequency, and especially if you have a penchant for X-Files, you'll like 95ers. You can tell it's set the stage for future movies, with lots of unanswered questions and interesting characters that are part of the back story. Despite the pacing, I have to give it a ten for good writing and for what they achieved on such a tiny budget. Very much worth a patient watch.
