I rented this movie yesterday and enjoyed it despite it being totally obscure. The plot is fairly hard to follow, I think, but it makes sense if you think about it.

What does anyone else think to this film?

Rubbish.
Spent too long trying to feed you the time-travel angle and not once mentioned alternate universes.
You dont spend an entire film talking about time-travel and providing no clues to the real "explanation" - that's just lazy plotting and a surprise twist for the sakes of it.

You cannot deny it had some original and decent features, however it did have something of an anticlimax that leaves you feeling a bit let down by the crap directing! I bet the writing was good but the director butchered it and cut all of the stuff that made it make sense. *sigh* If only Spielberg had been there.

It has nothing that wasn't in Bill and Ted. Rubbish film hyped to the max because it was "Indie". that term has lost all of it's meaning.

This explains all.

Didn't work this out when I watched it, I must admit.

Yeah, why can't it be both? At least it wasn't another no-brain Steven Seagal film. Man, there's a man who likes his pies.

I disagree with everyone except goatboy. Bad film, but the ending was good. Good in the sense it is random (much like the ending of Sophie's world (book)), but it was for rock fans who think they're alternative, and want pointless obscurity.
