Reaction: Certainly not the box office debut writer Harmony Winters was looking for. In fact, this season appears to have been a rough one for all of the studio's rookie writers.

"There are enough fun sequences and ideas in The Past Before to make it worth watching. That said, things get quite messy and confusing frequently. Thankfully it stays entertaining - even if you're not going to understand what's going on at times." - Dave Cone, New York Post

"While the potential for a fun action/sci-fi story is in its DNA, The Past Before unfortunately winds up being an overly complicated mish-mash of ideas that wastes its big name cast." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

“A cool concept that is similar but different enough to other time travel movies, without a great execution. I see what Harmony Winters was going for, however the pacing felt off. In Kaluuya’s first starring performance since Mandingos he did what he could. An enjoyable watch with a handful of problems, I’d say put it on for a Saturday night and have some fun.” - Bobby Van Gutten - CinemaBlend

Rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi action/violence, scenes of peril and some language
