“Synchronicity” (** out of four) was a hazy, remote futuristic thriller about a physicist (Chad McKnight) who invents a time travel machine but then must travel back to the past to uncover the real truth about its creation when his greedy financial provider (Michael Ironside) and a woman he sleeps with (Brianne Davis) try to steal it. Director Jacob Gentry shows strong mood and style and some promise but after a strong start, the script leads nowhere and goes flat. Eerie and cool music score by Ben Lovett is a real plus. Yet another futuristic thriller obviously inspired by “Blade Runner” but unfortunately may remind hard-core sci/fi fans of 1999’s “The Thirteenth Floor.”
