Until now, Zak Gibbs' greatest challenge has been to find a way to buy a car. But when he discovers an odd wristwatch amidst his father's various inventions and slips it on -- something very strange happens. The world around him seems to come to a stop, everything and everybody frozen in time. Zak quickly learns how to manipulate the device and he and his quick-witted and beautiful new friend, Francesca, start to have some real fun.

Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend, probably more for a younger audience. For a movie about technology that would make you into a speedster, you'd think this would be phenomenal. The "hyperspeed" effect itself and it's presentation in the movie is amazing, even with the "mad scientist" trope accompanying it. The cast isn't bad by far, but, for this, they could have been quite better to really sell the effects and create a better atmosphere for the story. The story itself is good, it makes a lot of sense, the character interaction is pretty good, and it actually structures a compelling narrative. It's not like the production value is bad either; this is a good example of being able to tick all the boxes and still falling short without actually failing.
