The History of Time Travel is a documentary on the history of time travel and is available on Amazon Prime.

It starts off OK but then seems to spend an interminable amount of time talking about the life of the guy who invented the time machine. But once you get past that part, it gets really interesting. Highly recommended but I would strongly advise you to not read any reviews before watching, they give away too much. It's way better for you to experience this gem for yourself.

It's also really short at about 1:10 so you don't waste too much time if you don't like it.

I didn't have a good first impression either—I almost didn't watch it, and then I almost stopped watching because I didn't get a good feeling from the start. But it was ultimately far more clever and touching than I expected.

this is actually quite clever. Requires more than one viewing.

The Atari control knob was Borat level cringe

That's what I said!

Yeah, you get a really bad first impression because of the low budget actors and production, but if you stick with it, it grabs your attention, and then it comes through and pays off with a good ending.

Just got to the Atari part. This is pretty stupid so far and VERY poorly acted. But I am sticking with it since I only have about 45 minutes left. The fact that I’m in my phone right now tells me how bored I am with this so far.

If you aren’t watching it, your missing it. Requires active viewing.

Finished it. It definitely rebounds a bit, but it’s pretty bad. It’s one of those where it’s not very good, but I kinda liked it. If that makes sense.

I do think they tried to do a little too much so it gets convoluted, bud all in all it’s worth an hour plus.
