Mega Time Squad is a 2018 New Zealand film directed by Tim van Dammen and stars Anton Tennet as John, a small-time criminal who is tired of living in his dead-end town. During a heist, John comes across an ancient Chinese time-travel device and sees it as an opportunity to start a new life. He recklessly uses the device to create a chain of alternate timelines, all to further his own selfish interests.
As John jumps through different timelines, he realizes that every change he has made has had unintended and disastrous consequences. Soon, he is pursued by other criminals who also want the time-travel device and the police, who are trying to stop John and his gang from causing further chaos.
Mega Time Squad presents a unique take on time-travel stories by showcasing the impact of individual actions on an ever-widening timeline. The film features an ensemble cast of characters, each with their own motivations and quirks, adding comedic elements that balance out the more serious themes of loss and regret that arise from tampering with time.
Overall, Mega Time Squad is a fun and fast-paced adventure that blends genres and keeps audiences guessing until the very end.
