This film is not a parallel time and space, and there is no time line. There is only one line. It is a typical linear intervention of time and space. It changes the past and the future will be rewritten. It is similar to the butterfly effect. The only mismatch comes from the final camera. It is understood as an observer of the world, storing the information of time and space, and will not be refreshed and disappeared by the restarted future in the end, but stayed in the past, even if the things he recorded did not happen at all in the new linear time and space, but you The camera’s opening can also be understood as the director’s willingness to give these young people the will to continue to challenge science and change the world in their new lives. Perhaps this is the fate of the protagonists. As for their future, it will be left to different audiences. Thought about it.

The biggest highlight of this film is that young people initially presumptuously carried out time travel, allowing people to experience the pleasure of having time freedom and the splendor of youth, but in the end the time travel film cannot escape the ripple effect of time and space, you mess up with time , Time mess up with you. Correction is the ending of the vast majority. Perhaps this is a warning to people now. Having a time machine does not mean having time. The beauty of life is that every choice is only once.

    I really wanted to add a star to the ending, but the shaky pseudo-documentary footage lost one star, and the actor's poor skills were halved. In short, it is constantly fixing bugs, and in the end, it can only copy the mobile hard disk and restart it.

    Time travel movies are prone to various loopholes and paradoxes. The biggest loophole in this film is that the camera does not disappear after the timeline is reset. The story is fair, so let's just watch it as a youth movie.
