6/10
Enjoyable but not that great of a movie.

Warning: Spoilers
All in all I think the movie is good for entertainment but there is a major flaw that I just cant ignore.

Spoilers from here on.

How did it all start? The premise for Hector is, that he Voyeuristicaly watches a naked girl, searches for her (which is creepy on its own) and finaly gets chased into the time machine by himself.

But the very first Hector who started all this(which we dont see in the movie) must have gotten into the time machine by his own, because there was no one who could have chased him. So I waited all the time that this major plot point would get explained at the end. Or better said: I waited for a twist which opens our eyes how it all started.

But all we get to see is dumb hector who willingly travels back into time several times and the scientist just does whatever Hector tells him.

But it was still an enjoyable movie. But I dont think that I will watch it a second time.

I think the movie would have been much cooler if hector got lured into the time machine by the scientist. Imagine that the scientist hired someone to chase hector to the lab, so the scientist can make experiments on him. At first hector will play along, cause he thinks the scientist tells him the truth. At some point he finds out the truth and seeks revenge.

But with everytime hector travelled back, he changed something out of stupidity, like talking to himself in the past, and the final showdown between the scientist and hector will take place at an altered reality. Hector wins and goes into the time machine a last time. He comes out and sees that he traveled to the future but this time everything is normal again.
