Review of My Future Self, Age 30

Very elusive. I think it’s about18 year olds pretending to be 30, but I’m not sure that it is. To leap ahead 12 years, rather casually, and then have nothing really is a potentially interesting idea. It’s like a real-life Twilight Zone. It reminds me of the film Stargate, where scientists pass through a nexus into another dimension and they just sort of walk around with nothing to do. I’m not sure on what level we are to experience the actual leap ahead in time, but the dialogue that takes place is quite charming.
