This movie is a real mess, the amazing amount of effort the cast, and production team must have used to make it is the only thing worth seeing. The acting is abrupt, and sharply inconsistent, all of the players seem lost, and confused, but at the same time they are trying so hard all just itching to jump in with the lines they think they have learned. Great use of special effects, they floating screens are handled like it is very ordinary, and nothing new. The story is a disaster that makes complete sense. The edit feels rushed, and really off with the out of sequence scenes that are repeated (and just as bad when the story finally catches up to those points. The story is a disaster, yeah I said that, and that is how the story feels, you have a bunch of very willing actors in Norway who seem to think they are speaking clear English, and what seems like a bad translation that has not been explained to the actors properly, though the fiction holds up sort of. (side issues. If you have a gun in your pocket it should show in the mirror even if you don't, and is it only you that doesn't see your reflection in the mirror, do other people see you in it with them?) To be blunt, I really tried to Enjoy this movie, I was quite impressed by the effort that the cast gave, it is just a shame that they could not have just spoken Norwegian, and subtitled it, this might have seemed less like a college production. The special effects and the tech over all was well done, and gave a real feeling of our future, so if you don't mind something that fells like it was made by kids for nerdy kids, then give this one a go, they really do try hard these folks.

Someone tried to make something interesting here. They failed.

I don't know anything about the people who made this, but I'd like to. I'm guessing they're college students, or maybe even high schoolers and this is their first attempt at a movie. If so, good try guys. Better luck next time.

This really is a paradox of a movie. It's sort of quirky and has some original ideas and yet it's horribly cliched as well, full of characters and plot devices you have seen before in much better movies. You will find yourself wondering what is going on right from the outset. Part of that is obviously intentional, but most of it is due to a poorly-written script. When the thing comes to its conclusion and all is revealed, you will be none the wiser about what it was all about. I found myself wondering if this movie would have been better if it was longer and there was more time for the story to unwind and develop. Being honest though, I think the 70 minutes the movie does run for is about all I could take. It doesn't help that the acting and the dialogue are just abysmal or that there is no tension at all. Curiously, the producers of this seem to want us to believe it is set in the USA. The language is English, the character names are American, and you may even spot a US flag on one soldier's sleeve. Unfortunately, all the street signs are in Norwegian and so is the architecture, so that sort of spoils the illusion.

Would I recommend this? No. If you have an hour to kill though and you're prepared to lower your expectations (and I really mean 'lower') then by all means watch it. You won't enjoy it, but it will pass the time.

I can't say that I exactly enjoyed "Everywhen," but I was impressed by how well shot and edited it was, and how well it conveyed a sense of alternate worlds and time...not so much travel as...loops. You even have some sense of character development, as the personalities of the two leads change over the course of the hour and even reverse, becoming more like the other. How and why those personalities change isn't very well established, though, nor is what exactly was happening or had happened that set the plot into motion. I suppose a grand answer to the question of "What's going on?" isn't necessary if you look at the film as a sort of chamber piece set within a larger story, but it's frustrating to be left in the dark. Nevertheless, in mood and atmosphere, "Everywhen" felt like a pretty good episode of "Fringe" or "The X-Files."

Honestly, the worst thing about "Everywhen" were the gunfights between the protagonists and the police, including SWAT units, which were ridiculously one-sided. Those felt like childish male fantasies, straight out of video games these days, or one-sided games of cops and robbers back in the day.
