![]() A group of young friends make an incomprehensible discovery in an abandoned mine, but the more they try to change the future, the more they seal their fate. It's been released outside of the United States, but it isn't getting a US release until October 21. |

Julianna Guill should be very angry with whoever picked out that bathing suit for her. If you want to watch this to reassure yourself about the talents of Richard Gray, because you'd really like the Audition remake to be good, I wouldn't. The characters are extremely dull, which is pretty shameful when you're working with a pretty good cast. They're also really dumb. In the end, the movie gives an excuse for it, but it still doesn't make me feel any better about having to watch them do stupid things for an hour. The end is also a bit of an ass-pull, in that the film tries very hard in the last minute to wave a magic wand and have all the plot holes go away. I also don't think I've ever disliked the last few seconds of a movie more. It's similar to +1, and I think I might suggest seeing that one first if you're looking for time travel horror and have already seen Triangle. |

I have a feeling neither will beat Triangle (amazing, mostly) for me. Oh well. I mostly forgot about this movie anyway. I still may check it out for the cast alone (and yes, I agree about that horrid bathing suit) when it's on DVD or something.

Triangle>+1>Mine Games I didn't like +1 that much, but I do really like time travel films. That bit of them swimming is a frame from the movie, and they had her wear that for several scenes. She wore really baggy dresses the rest of the time. Most of the cast's hair, make-up, and wardrobes were a little off, actually. I don't know what they were going for. |

Yikes poor Julianna. Maybe tacky, mismatched clothes is starting to become "in" or something? I don't know. I haven't caught up with any of the clothing trends from like...2009 onward.

This was pretty good. Kept you wondering, looked great, and they at least tried to tell an interesting story. This is definitely one of the better recent "kids in the woods" films I've seen. Didn't care for the ending much but it was an ace film for the most part. I recommend it. |

About thirty minutes into this. So far, it's not bad but it's hardly impressive. |

The opening of this was okay I guess and had just enough of a 'hook' to want me to keep watching but the character introductions were pretty bland and sloppy. Parts of the musical score almost sounded familiar but I can't quite place where I may have heard it (Linkin Park came to mind but I doubt that's it). Briana Evigan sounded a little like Sharni Vinson here and even looked similar at times. Lex was insanely annoying and I really wanted him (and his overuse of the word 'pal') to die asap. I felt like I was watching Friday The 13th (2009) with the nice cabin, Julianna Guill, a main group of four guys and three girls and that sex scene that really felt like something from a Friday The 13th (except with more male nudity which was appreciated). Some parts really bugged me right away, such as Michael making the conscious decision to not Spoiler: click to toggle Stupid. But things like that were saved by such brilliant lines as "you reserved your seat with a poptart?" All of the different accents had me slightly confused as to where this was supposed to take place. Things didn't get REALLY interesting until Spoiler: click to toggle The name 'Mine Games' was weird since less than twenty minutes of the film took place in the mines. I get that it was supposed to be a play on 'mind games' or something, but still. For the most part, the girls were the only characters I liked and even then, none were GREAT. The guys gave decent performances but their characters were all either douchebags, boring, or moody. Rose's hallucinations got a bit old but it was pretty cool seeing some things (like Spoiler: click to toggle ).The deaths were okay I guess but a lot of them were just due to really stupid decisions and...clumsiness. Yes, clumsiness. The last twenty minutes crammed the big reveals in and felt a bit too rushed. Remember how Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban took its time with the time-jump reveals and whatnot and really felt satisfying? yeah, that's what this should've done. It should've shaved off about 15 minutes of the characters wandering around and bullshitting in the first hour and given that time to the third act to flesh it out a bit. Still, it wrapped things up well for the most part anyway. I liked a lot of things about it but I think that there was more that I disliked so I'm certainly glad I wasn't as excited as I used to be for this. 6/10 quality, same for entertainment. |

I didn't really notice Lex the first time I watched it, but he really annoyed me the second time. I think how much I liked each of the characters was mostly based on how much I liked the person playing them before I watched this movie. |

Ohhhh yes. Triangle ripoff. And not a good one. This is definitely worth missing. Too bad too, since a horror movie starring Briana and Julianna actually had me pretty excited |
