THE INCOMPLETIST - Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel

Exploring my DVD collection and my addiction to owning complete sets.  Shows and movies I want to own on DVD, but can't....


The 2009 HBO film Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is about three friends who discover a series of time portals in their local bar.





In the film a pair of sci-fi fans...


... sorry, science fiction fans...


... and their cynical science fiction hating friend talking about their favourite topic (or the favourite topic of two of them, anyway) when the above mentioned science fiction events...


The film is a low budget and it shows and although it starts slowly as an enjoyable low-key talkfest which turns into a fun interesting but simple cause-and-effect time travel romp.  It falls together towards the end as the budget (or lack of) becomes obvious and as often happens with these films the plot falls apart a little.  Still it comes together at the end setting up a sequel that will never happen.


Overall, a film I recommend, obviously, and in keeping with the point of this blog one I'd like to own on DVD, but can't... because hasn't been released on DVD and is unlikely ever to be.
