This movie is a near-exact replica of "Press Play" (2022). I love this type of pop sci-fi movie and anything having to do with music is my jam (hence the 9 score) but I'm puzzled by the redundancy with "Press Play" without credit or reference.
Loved the songs selected for the time travel sessions, though I wonder how many American twentysomethings (Gen Z) would go to a Roxy Music concert, love The The songs, choose to sing karaoke to a 10cc song and know the lyrics, etc. Whenever there's this generational taste disconnect in movie plotlines - especially around music - you can assume the soundtrack is the Director's or Writers' favorite jams and not what characters of the demographics represented in the movie would actually listen to if they were real. I kind of lose the thread of the movie when that happens.
But! It was still enjoyable, the acting was good, the soundtrack is Gen X's delight (my generation), and I'd watching again in a heartbeat. And "Press Play", too.
