A group of students venture into the deep caves of remote Texas to locate a favorite archaeology professor who inexplicably has gone missing while searching for the Fountain of Youth. In the course of their pursuit, the group unwittingly rappels into a break in the space-time continuum, where time passes much slower than on the surface. With no hope for rescue, they descend further into the cave and uncover the most coveted urban legend in history and find themselves in the crossfire for its control.
My husband and I took a gamble (it always is with Netflix movies) on Time Trap and this time we came up winners. There's nothing spectacular about the movie. It was just entertaining. The whole time travel aspect was interesting. You'll have to hop over a few plot holes...well, maybe a lot of them but (Channels Elsa - Let it go!) The movie goes at a good pace and there is a lot of suspense and things don't go the way you think they will. They avoid those cliches.
If you are looking for something to watch one night then check this one out. Don't over-analyze it...cause what archeologist would go spelunking without telling anyone where they were? (Let it go!) And it gets bonus points for the Goonies reference.
If you've seen it, or after you see it, come back here and let me know what you think!
