This short film is fun and unique in many ways. It almost feels like a video game, though it features real people. Time Trap tells the story of Fripp, a half-human, half-robot spaceman who crash-lands on a post-apocalyptic Earth. With humanity and almost everything else long gone, Fripp must use a time travel machine to journey into the past and retrieve something he can use as spare parts for his spaceship.
The visuals in this short film are absolutely stunning-so impressive that anything that doesn't look sleek or seems funny is clearly intentional. The story is packed with humor, and the film can be best described as a space sci-fi comedy. Despite its brief runtime of just seven minutes, a surprising amount happens within those few minutes.
It's hard to comment on the acting, as Fripp is always wearing a helmet, but the character is well-realized nonetheless.
