Okay, for the record, the movie is called Here. It’s based on a graphic novel, which is, in turn, based on a six-page comic story. It’s less “one room over many centuries” and more “one particular spot over the entire history of the planet.”
And, frankly, saying it takes place over many centuries is actually under-selling how expansive the time span of the film is. In the original version, the timeline actually starts at 500,957,406,073 BC, and ends sometime around 2033. In the graphic novel, which I own, the timeline is a bit more reasonable , with the date farthest back being 3,000,500,000 BCE and the furthest in the future being 2314 CE. So, if you saw the dinosaurs in the trailer and got confused, that’s literally why.
The original story can be seen (faithfully replicated on what is admittedly a budget of fuck-all) here:
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
