Why watch this film?

"You're a very disappointing time traveler" sums up the amusing and brilliant independent science fiction comedy Relax, I'm from the Future. The story revolves around Casper (Rhys Darby, Next Goal Wins), an inept time traveler who returns to the past, supposedly on a mission to prevent a catastrophe that will end the world, a task for which he is clearly ill-prepared. He only has the help of a young woman (Gabrielle Graham, Possessor), whom he entangles in his plans that, in reality, have little to do with the future of humanity, so things start to get complicated. It's an absurdist story with an eccentric sense of humor that relies more on its brilliant performances than on elements like its visual effects. If you're not too demanding with the latter, you'll enjoy it.
