Lumos Sally Biggs has the mysterious power of "rewinding" up to nine seconds of her life. She marries a guy who creates a mysterious time machine, and now, ten(?) years later, after her husband's mysterious death, mysterious forces are at work to destroy her life.Why is it all so mysterious, you may ask? Well, because nothing gets explained properly. Can Sally rewind a "rewound" time segment? Who are the baddies and what are their goals? A lot of other questions? Who knows. There's also something about some motorway in the US, though this film is apparently called "Time Runners", at least on the UK Amazon.We cut back and forth between Sally's issues, and a pair of guys in the future who are attempting to "lock on" to her timeline, so as to send someone to her before "the bogeys" do it. Alas, we have no real idea of what's going on in the future, as the only development there comes in the third act (when the "sending" of a guy over actually happens for a total of two minutes or so), and features a predictable, yet still slightly entertaining twist. Oh, and also some fighter vehicles shooting at the base of the good guys with CGI that would make the SyFy channel blush in embarrassment. Again, we get no explanations as to the nature of "the enemy", why the world is permanently on fire now, and so on.We do get some pseudoscientific technobabble that vaguely explains how time travel works, and I was amused enough to consider this of moderate interest; unfortunately, we get no proper explanation of the rules of time travel, and things remain odd throughout.In the present day, Sally is pregnant and has apparently separated from her husband before his death, due to his slowly-increasing pride and egotism. Her time-rewinding skills come in handy for her job at the FBI, where she helps her colleagues hack into some guy's dedicated Counter-Strike server (the film, unashamed of its sins, gives us gratuitous shots of the monitor during this "hacking" scene). Then her new boss figures her powers out, and begins hampering her on-the-side investigations into the paranormal.Apparently, if you have a number of positions on a map, and they sort of look like being spaced on concentric circles (that you've actually outlined on said map) according to "a blast pattern", you need a top-secret classified FBI program to tell you where the origin of this "explosion" was. I'm a simple engineer; I'd've thought some simple geometry may've been useful.Nothing proceeds to happen for the most part of the film, and we are left to revel in the stilted acting, the "A Christmas Carol" play some uninteresting supporting characters are rehearsing for at her house, and the oddly-lit scenes. Every shot of this film screams "shot on a digital camera" -- not that that's necessarily a bad thing.Credit where credit is due, there are a couple of clever "rewinding 'till you get the desired outcome" scenes in this film, and they were neat. The rest of the editing, however, is full of cuts. Hard cuts not between scenes, but within the same scene. Unfortunately, whilst the resulting effect sometimes ends up interesting, most of the time it feels like someone's been cutting up the footage by accident.At the end of the film. Sally is taken by her boss to the time machine, so that she may return to the "tipping point", the moment when she decided to marry her scientist husband, and undo it. She does so; but fortunately manages to return to her timeline, read her late husband's diaries, and manage to fix reality and somehow permanently damage "the enemy"'s positions before fading out of existence (that she doesn't end up doing, considering she wins). The ending features an obvious sequel set-up. Honestly, I'd probably watch the sequel. If I'm really bored and have nothing to do.Also, the description on Amazon Prime, as well as the poster they had there, made it sound like this'd be a lot more interesting than it actually was. **TL;DR:** Almost nothing happens for the whole film. Wooden acting. Looks like a soap opera. Some good bits. Not terrible, but far from good. Setting up for a sequel.

freezageeza1966 For me,in general,a movie has to be pretty awful to merit anything less than 3 stars.........and this one came pretty close.I don't expect a lot from low budget affairs. As long as a decent effort has been made to entertain the viewer,then much can be overlooked or forgiven.This movie however, (and I use the word "movie" in the loosest term) has probably some of THE worst acting I have ever the misfortune to witness. The performances from all concerned are so stiff and wooden,that you could turn the awful script into a baseball bat and hit a home run!! Particularly annoying is Joel Bishops narration throughout this mess.It really does sound like a 5 year old reading from a school play script and is pretty soulless in it's delivery.In fact a 5 year old could have done a better job. The rest of the cast really don't fare much better either.Nobody puts in a decent enough performance to make their characters convincing and look like they'd really rather be somewhere else. It really was unforgivable.I'm sorry.........if you want to put yourself in front of a camera and entertain,then you really should at least try to do better than this!!.I did,however,note that "some" effort was made in the special effects department,and given the budget,they weren't bad at all.Oh sorry......the plot.Forget it.......It's something to do with time travel but really,please don't waste your time.It's so confusing that I really cannot explain exactly what the hell was going on.I dare say that with a bigger budget,script writer and cast,this could be made into something better.Apparently this was based on a book.I wish I had read that instead.3 out of ten and that's only because I've seen worse........No really I have!!Watch at your peril

Mhizz Shan this is the most boring and cheapest friend boring ,boring, boring ,as hell why would people give this a 10,9,8, or even a 5 this is the worst and plus this was made in 2014 which is a good year they could of at least tried to make this more real it looks fake as hell fake,fake,fake the people who liked this or give it hight ratings or ratings over 5 or stupid and foolish this movie was a waste of my time other people time and the producer time they need to stop making movies and try to watch there own and see how horrible , fake , and boring this foolish this movie really is waste of money , they mean they could not even get a little more money to get it to look real and interesting

Kaylie Morgan This is a fast-moving complex sci-fi thriller. Not a new concept, but one of the best time-travel films I've seen in a long time. 90 minutes seemed like 10 - spooky. The quality for an indie film was excellent and the special effects were very tasteful with some good CGI. The original soundtrack complimented the film perfectly. I would like to see a sequel, or even better a TV series, the characters are very watchable and the story could be explored further. I particularly like the character 'Brego' and how he linked the mystery together. I watched this at an indie film night and it was very well received, If you like sci-fi give it a watch, you will not be disappointed.
