I was 8 when this movie came out. It was one of my favorites as a kid, and still a movie I will sit down and watch from time to time. Jesse Bradford played a solid part along with his co-star Paula Garces. Many people protest the issue of her having a Hispanic accent early on in the film then diminishing as it progressed. It could be her toying with Bradford and the self-absorbed DJ Ditto early on, or it could simply be bad acting... I digress.The special effects were well done and the soundtrack was appealing with music from Blink 182, Smash Mouth, and other popular bands (especially for the time period it was made). Overall a solid, feel-good, family movie that is sure to entertain.

Clever kiddie movie that harks back to such lighthearted 1980s fantasy fare as "Weird Science" and "Gremlins." Jesse Bradford, playing a Zach Galligan-type teenager, "borrows" his scientist-father's weird watch that allows the wearer to speed up his molecules, so that everyone and everything around him appears to slow down and freeze. He and his new girlfriend have some fun with the device, until they realize they are being pursued by some very unpleasant people who are after the watch. Familiar TV actor French Stewart plays a wacky scientist who comes to the kids' aid. There's really nothing here you haven't seen before, but it is fun while it lasts. Great special effects.

I'm not just saying this because this is a movie to watch to waste your time; I really think this is a cool movie. It has good Sci-Fi movie quality, especially for a Nickelodeon movie. And it asks you the question, "What if you had the power to stop time?" I mean, there would be a lot of opportunities in that category. This is a real treat, and the best way to watch it is along with some Back to the Future movies. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it really redefines adventure. I totally recommend this movie if you want to rent something that will please you. As I have said many times with other comments, there will never be another movie such as this.

Once again we see that a story might not sparkle in itself, but when the same story are combined with wild effects it can make a decent hour or two of escapism. As with Clockstoppers. The problem is that the idea behind the "time-travel-like" ideology that bears the movie is to far-fetched for even the most fanatical phantasm-believer to swallow. Please give us a little more credit next time. Don't expect us to just accept stupid lines and ideas anymore. Be fantastic with a realistic viewpoint. Now I will not be the one to say that I could have done it better. Because I couldn't. But if you had asked someone before you made it, to sift away the unbelievable stuff, the movie would have been better off...
