7. They Are Always, Ironically, Pressed For Time
An age-old conundrum. How is it that the one person who can travel through time, is the same person who never has enough time to spare? That has to be one of the all time kick in the nuts. No matter what these time hopping do-gooders achieve, they constantly find themselves up against it with usually a few days to achieve the necessaries before something awful happens. No one ever seems to click and think, I might need an extra week or so to get things done. In all fairness, time travel does not seem to be an exact science and the traveller is usually left without a major component upon arrival (usually with limited or no power for further journeys) or only has windows of opportunity. But if cinema has taught us anything, it is this; time travellers are terrible forward thinkers. It usually takes them at least an hour and 30 minutes to figure out what the rest of us can see in 5 minutes. Most likely to say: I dont have much time, so listen up.

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred. Despite this, you will always hear me say the same thing - "its all opinion, so watch it and make your own." Follow me @iamBradWilliams
