Time Travel Is Dangerous takes far too long to find its rhythm. While the second half finally clicks into gear, the weak opening leaves the film struggling to recover. Even after an attempted second watch, I found writer-director Chris Reading’s film isn’t sure what it wants to be: a comedy of errors about two shop owners, or something else entirely.
The setup borrows from better-known sci-fi sitcoms—whether a V: The Series style premise or a nod to Tom Baker-era Doctor Who—but the early pacing is uneven. The fun begins when the story hints at H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, creating a curious blend of sci-fi farce and nostalgic homage, though the film never fully settles.
