I watched this without any pretense. My main desire was to watch a sfi-fi movie that didn't require too much investment while I wrapped up a little work and this was actually a good choice. I thought some of the acting was good. The lead guy in particular I thought did a great job. The story itself is pretty straight-forward and that was a nice change of pace. I feel like sometimes movies hide behind a complicated plot, time travel, and some gotcha camera work and it distracts from the film. This was not like that. Straight to the point and ready to go. No lulls. Just a movie. After I got it going, I took a peek to try and find the budget and there wasn't any information out there. Pretty good photography and CGI for a modern B-movie. (I hope that's not insulting to the team that made it!) I wouldn't watch it again but I enjoyed it.
