Mega Time Squad

I just saw Housebound and so far it is still my favorite NZ movie. I was hopeful on this movie because it came out after that one did. This movie was annoying bad! You know those movies you catch yourself yelling at the main character not to be such an idiot. This movie win's for the worst acting, storyline, and crappy dialogue. I do not recommend this to even my worst enemy. Yes, it is that bad, I felt my intelligence quotient dropping as I watched this.

This movie is filled with it all, comedy, sci fi, violence, backed together in a classic style. One of the best movies to go see for a great time and it has some good references to NZ culture. This movie is the definition of a true kiwi film. Mega Time Squad; the film displaying the capabilities of us kiwis. I would really recommend this movie.

This is a laugh of a film, well done and it exploits all the nooks and crannies of overlapping timelines to the point where you're spinning in circles. Really entertaining and smart in it's delivery of a well worn plot made unique through it's rougues gallery of characters and awful outcomes.

Bon film !

Nice little movie. Old plot but deployed with a cheeky sense of humour and great soundtrack. Let down by alot of mumbling and poor sound, not to mention some NZ slang that I guess only NZ folks ever use. Other than that, a decent little movie

One good/funny character in this entire turd, and it sure as hell wasn't John (or any of the other Johns). That would be the boss (Shelton, Jonny Brugh). Found this movie makes a great sedative. I had to suffer through it twice. Felt like sequence after sequence of Kiwi in-jokes and jargon. One foxy New Zealand chick in this (Kelly, Hetty Gaskell-Hahn). That's good for a couple points. The whole running theme about having big nuts was, well, idiotic. Worst of all, not funny. Just like the vast majority of the "jokes." They go about as far as a fart into a cushion. Does not help the dialogue is totally inane. Yeah, I did not like this one, and I normally like movies from this country.

Uproariously funny to the point of absurdity. Since I am a fan of the absurd, this movie hit the spot! Haven't laughed that hard in a while. It's like a FAQ About Time Travel and Snatch mashup. Hollywood could learn something from these guys as it was cheaper to purchase than most films and twice as good.

John (Anton Tennet) is a low-level criminal who lacks a set. He works for Shelton (Jonny Brugh) and likes his sister (Hetty Gaskell-Hahn). John robs a Chinese antique store operating as a front and also grabs a time travel bracelet. While being drowned by his own gang for keeping the money, John pushed the button on the bracelet and travels back in time two minutes and creates a duplicate of himself. Eventually, the duplicates form a gang hunted by Taotie, the time travel demon. While I tend to love New Zealand humor, this one didn't grab me. Other than people acting like idiots, the story lacked a decent plot. F-word. No sex or nudity.

Funny, silly kind of funny. Interesting time travel concept into the plot, not in mindblowing kind of way, but still very entertaining to watch. Ending was predictable, feel good kind of ending.
