Military agent Sebastian locates and joins them after they start broadcasting warnings about near-future nazi bombings, and inevitably one girl (Mars) falls for him.  Some cute multiverse moments: they sing &#8220;You Really Got Me&#8221; and a ragtime version becomes the theme song and slogan of the war effort.  But the girls aren&#8217;t great war strategists and botch a couple important things leading to (in order of increasing horror): the USA dropping support for Britain, the nazis winning the war, and erasure of David Bowie&#8217;s career.  No longer trusted by anyone, the back half of the movie is all running around spy\/escape scenes.  Mars shooting nazis while hanging from a noose isn&#8217;t the movie&#8217;s strong suit, the early cross-timeline TV stuff is.  Finally they leave messages from their alt-present to their unspoiled past selves and manage to undo the damage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image24\/lola2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Tom (the serious, dark-haired sister, whose large eyes get put to good use) is also in a netflix fantasy show, Mars in that horrorish movie <em>Make Up<\/em>, and Seb in that movie about the Bronte sisters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image24\/lola1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image24\/lola3.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A found-footage film (oh no) but improved by the sci-fi aspect.
