Mega Time Squad

About This Movie

Mega Time Squad is an interesting blend, you know? A low-budget Kiwi flick with a distinct charm. The film marries the absurdity of a small-town heist with time travel in a way that feels refreshingly offbeat. Tim van Dammen’s direction strikes a nice balance between humor and tension, making the pacing quite engaging. The practical effects and quirky performances add a unique texture, giving it that rough-around-the-edges vibe. You can definitely see the influences of both The Castle and Looper, but it carves out its own niche with a distinctly local flavor. The themes of ambition, desperation, and the consequences of messing with time are woven in without overdoing it. It’s a fun ride, albeit not without its flaws.
