WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A group of teenagers come across plans for a time machine, build it and consistently use it to travel back in time for their own personal needs. However, when it soon becomes apparent that their constant interfering with time is having a negative effect on the rest of the universe, they must find a way to travel back and make sure they never invent the machine in the first place…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Producer Michael Bay puts his touch onto a time-travelling adventure for the target teen audience to soak up (which, thinking about it, isn’t a very good reason for why you SHOULD be excited, but that’s honestly all we could come up with – you have been warned).
