It's decent if you turn off your brain

This film is ok for what it is. Well acted and well shot on an obviously low budget. The time loop stuff is messy and not really explained well. Anyways from the gist of the film It seems they never escape the loop because they'll always be reset and make the video. Also, I fail to see how the time machine would help in a war if it can 1. Only loop over and over and 2. Only loop a limited space. In the film they say time has only been looping in the circle.

So now I have to ask if time has only been looping for them then isn't the war already lost as they have been in the loop for thousands and thousands of loops while time outside has passed? Or does time reset everywhere to the original day once they escape the loop? The time loop HAS to be affecting things outside the circle because every loop one guy is always calling in backup and they keep coming every loop. If these reinforcements keep coming then they also have to be stuck in the loop which contradicts the circle theory. Like I said time is messy in films.
