11 Minutes Ago (PG-13) 7.0

11 Minutes Ago (2007): Traveling in 11-minute increments, a time-tumbler from 48-years in the future spends two years of his life weaving through a two-hour wedding reception. (5.7)

Director: Bob Gebert
Writer: Bob Gebert
Stars: Ian Michaels, Christina Mauro and Evan Lee Dahl

This is a very well thought-out romantic comedy sci-fi. No, it doesn't lose a whole lot by mixing those three ingredients. This is done the same way Primer's been done ... with a low budget but has been more than made up for it by having a really good script. It isn't overly complicated; no special effects; yet holds the full interest of the audience all the way through, plus through the credits too (yeah, the movie doesn't really end until after the credits). Watching it twice helps to understand the earlier sequences a bit better. This review has a lot of details AND major spoilers (don't read it if you are going to watch it). My Rating: 7.0
