Movie synopsis:
A high school student invites four friends to rewrite history, and finally the male protagonist becomes a prophet.

Details:
The movie is mainly about a high school student who did an experiment to apply for a scholarship from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to add points to himself. However, there is always a gap between reality and ideals. The scholarship application is only 5,000, which means that there are still 40,000 in need. As a result, the supportive mother of the family was forced to sell the house for him to go to school.
In order to reduce the pressure on his mother, the first male intends to get a higher scholarship by continuing the experiment. Looking through his father's relics in the basement, he found a video camera. I celebrate my birthday, but I can see that my current self has been to that time and space. In order to solve the mystery, the long-closed storage room was opened, but a time-space shuttle was discovered. By trial and error, you keep going back in time. For the emotional development of himself and his beloved girl Jesse, the male lead goes back privately and re-writes history in violation of the agreement. The relationship develops further, but good friend Quinn is disabled and the plane crashes. In order to prevent these disasters from happening, the male protagonist went back to the past privately to rewrite history. The truth and reality of the past are getting farther and farther away. The male protagonist returns to the past here. As a result, Jesse's accidental entry led to entering the past time and space. However, after the two time and space Jesse met, they disappeared at the same time. To save Jesse, the past time is adjusted again, but the battery is running low. The police came to arrest the male protagonist, and the male protagonist fled to the school to steal the battery and accidentally returned to the time and space that passed ten years ago, echoing the beginning of the movie. The result was unexpected. At this time, the brother and sister were found in the basement and each found a camera. The male protagonist turned on the camera and returned to the beginning of the movie.
This movie reminds me of three other classic movies, "Terrorist Cruise," "The Butterfly Effect," and "The Damned."
The filming was shot from a first-person point of view, which reminds me of "The Curse", which is not scary enough, so it is slightly worse than "The Curse" in this respect, but the effect is not bad. What impresses me most is that this film is similar in length to "The Butterfly Effect", it is also a rewriting of history, it is also getting worse and worse, and the initial result is the best result; the difference is that the purpose is different, and the result is not the same. Same. At the end of the film, I thought it was over, and I used a method similar to "Terrorist Cruise" to add a lot of color to the film, leaving people unsatisfied, but there was not enough space and suspense to make a sequel.
When history is changing, history is also developing in another direction. In short, the wheel of history is unstoppable.
