Synchronic is one of those sleeper movies, where the first viewing is ok/not bad....but - for me - i like it more every time that i see it!

  I was hooked the firs time I saw it, but I love time travel and like the movies the other guys who made that made. I also like that it was a very small scoped movie in that it was basically one guy doing experiments in trying to figure something out. It isn't an action movie but might be right up the alley of a kid who reads Asimov, at least it would have been up my alley as a kid when I was reading Asimov.

Good tip, thanks! > ...it was a very small scoped movie in that it was basically one guy doing experiments in trying to figure something out... Yeah, i think you hit on one of the reasons that i liked this film (but you stated it more succinctly)...it was certainly smaller scope, but it did not feel cheap to me. And now, i have to look into other movies from these guys! :-)

      Just a note, but the movies from the other guys are a bit different Resolution and the Endless are more lovecraftian (which is why I got into them). Something in the dirt is similar to synchronic but I didn't like it as much, and it's done in a more documentary style. Only one I've still to see is Spring which is a horror/love story. Needle in a Haystack is also a great timetravel movie IMO, and it is unlike any I've seen before. I really recommend that if you like time travel. It's focused around a romance but it works really well.
