Runtime: 94 min.
It's a bad Back to the Future for this generation.
Zak Gibbs (Jesse Bradford) is an ordinary high school guy who just wants to get the attention of the new girl, Francesca (Paula Garcés), at school. When he puts on this watch that his father was working on, he discovers that when he presses one of the buttons, the world appears as if it is frozen and no one can see him, as he is in "hyper time". When a Secret Agency wants to get their hands on the watch, and Zak, things turn into the chaotic.
The idea is really cool, but they don't use it to their advantage. The plot is poor, the dialogue isn't great, the acting isn't great; not exactly Razzie worthy, but not any small award worthy either, and the characters can get annoying.
I think I liked it when I was a kid but now that I look back, I really don't know how I liked it as much as I did.
