I was surfing around You Tube and I found a movie called Minutemen which is produced by Disney Channel. I'm not a fan of Disney, but I do like some of the Disney stars. But anyways, I saw this movie and I thought it was boring in the beginning but slowly, I found it pretty good towards the climax.

The Plot:
It's about three boys, Virgil Fox, Charlie Tuttle, and Zeke Thompson building a time machine. Virgil wants to go back in time and buy a winning Lottery ticket, but Charlie stops him. Eventually they decide to use the time machine to save teens from embarrassing moments, but things don't go according to plan. The school's vice principal tries to stop the "Snow Suit Guys" whom everyone knows them as until the end of the movie when their true identities are revealed briefly, before they time travel back to the point before they started time-traveling.

They were known as the "Snow Suit Guys" because of the snow suits and ski goggles they wore while time travelling to save others from humiliation. Most of their classmates saw them as heroes, but wonder how they knew when something was going to happen and prevent it. After they prevented Stephanie from falling off her cheerleader's pyramid, she figured out who the "Snow Suit Guys" were and confronted Virgil about it. Virgil confesses but mentions that they are actually Time Travelers and therefore call themselves the Minutemen.

Their actions have unintended side effects; for example, some of the kids they helped become popular and let it go to their heads. Worst of all, what Virgil and Zeke don't know is that Charlie hacked into NASA's mainframe and stole some time travelling files that NASA never used. The FBI has been watching them very closely. Because of all their time travelling a black hole was created. Only Virgil, Zeke and Charlie can save the world and close the hole by entering it.

Once they have entered the black hole, they are transported to their first day of high school. Virgil wants to stop himself from standing up for Charlie, but then he realizes that Derek didn't try to stop the bullies but actually suggested dressing them up as cheerleaders. Zeke and Charlie had already left, and he decided that the incident made him who he was, and without it they (Virgil, Zeke and Charlie) wouldn't have become friends.

\} There's a lot more, but I don't want to give any more spoilers since I already gave too much! I really like this whole "time traveling" idea. Disney's really creative to think of that ^o^ I really like the cast too. They did a great job in this movie. \}
