So the movie starts out with a young girl (named Darius) spilling her life story to a man who is interviewing her for a waitress job, needless to say she didn't get the job. She needed the job because she is interning and making no money for how hard she working.
At a meeting discussing new story ideas (she is interning at a magazine), one man suggests they do a story on a crazy guy (named Kenneth), who advertised needing a partner to go to the future with him. In his advertisement he explains that you would need to bring your own weapons and that safety is not guaranteed. :)
So the man who suggested the story takes two interns, Darius and a young Indian boy. The girl ends up training to go to the future and making great friends with this supposedly crazy man. She gets into some bizarre situation including running from federal agents and plundering a medical facility. The whole time she is still leaking information back to the writer; however, every day she gets more and more attacked to this eccentric man.
One quote that really stuck out to me from this movie was:
Kenneth: "To go it alone or to go with a partner? When you choose a partner, you have to have compromises and sacrifices, but it's a price you pay. Do I want to follow my every whim and desire as I make my way through time and space? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, do I need someone when I'm doubting myself and I'm insecure and MY heart fails me? Do I need someone, who when the heat gets hot, has my back?"
Darius: "Sooo... Do you?"
Kenneth: "I do."
I hope you guys give this movie a chance, it's a little slow at parts, but it is most defiantly worth it!
