Plot Summary
Frequent Star Trek actor and director Jonathan Frakes gets behind the camera again for this teen-sci-fi/action-drama in the Back to the Future (1985) mold. Jesse Bradford stars as Zak Gibbs, a teenager who discovers the latest invention to spring from the mind of his scientist father (Robin Thomas) and a research team that includes his dad's eccentric colleague Dr. Earl Dopler (French Stewart). It seems that they have developed a wristwatch that manipulates "hypertime," speeding up the passage of regular time 25 times for the wearer and those near him, making it appear that the rest of the world has become essentially "frozen" in time. Zak is delighted with the ability that he initially treats as the ultimate gag and superpower, until the National Security Agency begins pursuing both him and the device, intending to confiscate it for nefarious political purposes. Clockwatchers (2002) co-stars Michael Biehn, Paula Garces, and Julia Sweeney.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Sci-fi hijinks and a government conspiracy serve merely as window dressing for a ham-fisted message about the importance of good parenting and owning a car in high school.
Rotten: An intermittently pleasing but mostly routine effort.
Rotten: A benign but forgettable sci-fi diversion.
Rotten: If the director had committed to one genre rather than dropping in on many, he might have been able to pull it off.

Great fantasy action movie with a great soundtrack
I don' t know why everyon doesn't think this is a good movie. I personally thought it was a great movie with a little bit of everything. It has action, comedy, sci-fi, and a good storyline. It makes you wish that you could stop time just like the actors. Overall it's a fun movie and the music is awesome.
