- mickerdooJuly 28, 2025I like the idea. Sometimes felt like the alternate timelines were really extreme one way or the other. Needed more recharge time for stakes.
- RazorbitzFebruary 22, 2025What a dumb, awful, garbage film. I love it! Transcendantly bad, with multiple endings depending on version that all make me lose my mind laughing. Pure entertainment that only the early 00's could deliver with such earnest insanity.
