To understand Timeless , one must first understand the man behind the camera. Seth Gamble (born Seth Craig Abbe) began his adult career in 2008 at the age of 21. Initially performing under the alias Troy Gabriel, he quickly transitioned to heterosexual scenes and signed with major studios. For the first several years of his career, Gamble was known as a reliable and intense male lead; he won the AVN Award for "Best Male Newcomer" in 2011 and has since accumulated dozens of nominations across the XBIZ, AVN, and XRCO spectrums.

Some cinephiles noted that the film missed a chance to experiment with period-accurate lighting, grading, or camera angles, which could have made the time-travel element feel more immersive.
