  Jonathan Frakes is no stranger to science fiction, so it would seem he would be a fitting director for <i>Clockstoppers</i>.<p>The story concept revolving around hyper-time is a solid start, but as a whole this film is too kid friendly and routine with its story. The first 3rd of this 90 minute picture plays around and has fun with the sped up time. This is fine to a point, but it does feel like a waste of time.</p><p>The effects are adequate enough, especially with the nature of this film; however, the possibility to do more is definitely there. Unfortunately, for a film that does focus on moving fast, the effects aren't the most memorable thing about it.</p><p>Jesse Bradford gets by as the lead male teen. Paula Garces is a pleasant surprise, as she is more than just the pretty girl along for the ride. French Stewart's unique personality, which could easily stand out in other films, tends to blend in with this one.</p><p>Once the clock stops, <i>Clockstoppers</i> really doesn't offer much other than a one time 90 minute sit through.</p>

  An initially intriguing idea wasted with mediocre performances and a shoddy script. Full review later.

  It's definitely fun for it's generation, but anyone over ten will find it repulsive.

  I like the idea behind the film, however it was really dumbed down for American teens. I'd like to see an intelligent version aimed more at older adults.

  Even though this movie was nothing like awesome-mindblowing-wow or anything. I still liked this.

  I came to like this movie when I was a young kid, and to this day I still enjoy it a lot!!!

  A fun look at what would happen if a teen got a watch that could stop time. I would have liked to see more.

  Clockstoppers seemed like a Back To The Future rip off to me, but I'd wanted to see the it because I am a Sci-Fi geek and it was directed by Star Trek's Jonathan Frakes. My expectations weren't very high and the story, based in Science Fiction, had the potentially of being too hard for audiences to understand. The writers decided to go another way with it and put this unique, experimental technology in the accidental hands of a teenager, and then marketed the whole package to young adults. It sounded a bit sketchy to me too and that's why it took me almost ten years to see it, but what I learned from this film, you can never judge a DVD by it's cover. Clockstoppers combines Einstein's Theory of Relativity with teenage rebellion in an action packed film that will really leave you on the edge of your seat. The story starts when a former student of Prof. George Gibbs sends him a prototype, of a watch, that speeds up your molecules to the point where it looks like everything else is standing still. Prof. Gibbs soon leaves to go on vacation when his son finds the watch and wears it out, thinking it's a normal watch. Once he learns the truth, other Clockstoppers show up to try and kill him, and that's when the film really gets going. The acting and special effects aren't really what draws you into Clockstoppers, it's the story, which throws you in every single direction and leaves you craving more. This was a film that was at the bottom of my list, that I watched because it was short and it was streaming. I was just looking for something to watch before bed, and what I found instead was a terrific Science Fiction adventure that fell way under the radar.

  It's okay... I've seen it a million times. The story doesn't really make any sense. Watch <i>Back to the Future</i> instead.

  Cool.

  Physics professors will hate this. Sure it's for kids, but does that mean it has to be so dumbed down? Writers will hate this as it's an insult to the craft. Michael Biehn fans will hate this and weep as they clutch their Best of James Cameron DVD boxsets to their chest.… More
  Physics professors will hate this. Sure it's for kids, but does that mean it has to be so dumbed down? Writers will hate this as it's an insult to the craft. Michael Biehn fans will hate this and weep as they clutch their Best of James Cameron DVD boxsets to their chest. Film fans will hate this as it's a poor example of a film. Star Trek fans will hate this as the director is something to do with Star Trek and he also directed Thunderbirds and therefore should not be allowed to direct anything else. Oh, and just to really slate it and be pedantic, the correct title should be Clockslowerdowners...as they don't actually stop any clocks - admittedly that isn't as catchy.

  This film is very entertaining to watch because of the beautiful effects of time stopping. I recommend you to watch it.
