Time Trap is highly creative, populated with relatable characters, with a whip-smart script. Sadly, the very end of the movie undoes the tense atmosphere setup throughout. While it does not ruin the film, it does leave one a bit disappointed.
Time Trap is a superficially entertaining science-fiction action/adventure film that might have worked better had it focused more on the “science fiction” elements and less on the halfhearted “action/adventure” ones.

Time Trap is a good example of the fact that a good film can be made for as little as $3 million. There are no expensive sets, there is no yawning cast, there is no expensive CGI. But at the same time, Time Trap has an interesting story, a little Sci-Fi and excellent use of time as another actor. Everything in the film turns into a circle of interpretation of time. It's so easy to actually show that it doesn't require big budgets and expensive scenes in CGI. Quite simple pair of videos on the home camera. Yes, if you soberly evaluate Time Trap a completely passing film that cannot withstand comparison with any more less serious film on the topic of time loops or time travel. But I don't want to compare at all, Time Trap is a good film in itself. If you're not chasing maximum showmanship then watch Time Trap, it's a good movie for your budget

I really liked this movie. No political agenda whatsoever, just good film making, and it didn't need a huge budget or a bunch of flashy special effects to do it. Very refreshing. This is how movies are supposed to be made. Not sure what the critics were thinking giving this such a poor rating, but it seems lately there's a huge chasm between what movie goers like and what movie critics like.

The result, directed by Mark Dennis and Ben Foster (not the actor) from Dennis’ script, is a handful of intriguing ideas in search of a more cohesive and dimensional narrative.
It’s not the worst time travel tale ever, but it does earn the most dismissive assessement you can give a movie in this genre. It’s not worth your time.
It kept me entertained and interested to see what was going to happen next. I just wish we could have seen more of the "future" when the gang got back to the surface.

A rather ambitious sci-fi B movie, where however every twist thickens and does not dispel the logical inconsistencies.

What on earth am I watching? Supposed smart man professor type doesn't realise he's gone forward in time. Chucks all of his glow sticks in the entrance to the cave he's exploring. Needs his "expert" typical jock/cheerleader teen team to come rescue him. Also generic children who hate bugs / cocky tween girl turn up to help.
