How should you destroy it? Let's get our checklist:
Although the idea for this movie had a lot of potential, overall watching it feels like being blind-folded, thrown onto a roller-coaster, and suddenly unmasked during the steepest decline of the ride. Once you get off the ride and catch your breath it's all over. I am not quite sure what happened, but a little bit more time on character and plot development would have been helpful. I would say that this movie could have used about 30 more minutes to be a decent flick, but instead tried too hard to do too many things at once.

How should you destroy it? Let's get our checklist:
- Try to do it all in under one hour
- Rapidly make up characters as you go
- Try to explain the antagonist, motive, etc. in under a minute

- Take a lot of time to explain the confusing time travel devices, but still leave the audience confused
- Jump around between scenes rapidly with little explanation
- Throw in a moral element without much connection to the story
- Rapidly end it without real resolution of plot
