About Time Trailers

The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they can change what happens and has happened in their own lives. Thus begins the start of a lesson in learning to appreciate life itself as it is, as it comes, and most importantly, the people living alongside us.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

No matter how many times you jump around in time...From your perspective anything that happened before "that" moment is in your past..even if it happens to occur in the future of the world. So if you go back in time and stop your kids from being born..that happened in your past even if your kids are not born until the future happens. So the main Character's past is at times, located in the future.. So it lets you undo any big mistakes. I feel like they could have done more with time travel rather than being all romantic. Don't get me wrong I love the romantic side of the movie. But he basically just decides that this woman is going to be his soul mate...It was only the 2nd woman he ever liked. And it was just too easy to woo her which Made me think that he was going to find another love somewhere down the line but I am glad it stayed simple. Could you imagine how crazy it would be if he had a brother. The father had multiple brothers didnt he? wouldnt it have been super crazy...

At least that's what I thought before watching this one. This movie does an excellent job showing what's going on inside Tim's mind as events unfold without getting cheesy in the narration bits. A movie I will always come back to and never find myself getting tired of.

I absolutely adore this movie. Although some parts are a little unrealistic (which should be expected since its a movie with time travel), it's still a great story. Rachel McAdams is perfect for any romantic comedy movie. I thought Domhnall Gleeson was very charming and quirky. Although he is very attractive, he definitely is not the typical handsome guy you seen in most romance movies, which I think adds to his charm. Margot Robbie is beautiful and flawless as usual. I think it would have been difficult for most guys to turn her down, so props to Tim. The plot is mainly about love, but it also focuses on family, life, and death. Even my boyfriend (who hates all cheesy romantic things) loved this movie.

When I started watching the movie I expected so much more. The beginning was great and then it all got lost as if Richard Curtis could not decide what the story should be about. Should it be about time travelling? Should it be about relationship between son and father? Should it be about the family? About love or about who knows what? Like scattered pieces of puzzle those questions pop up now and then throughout the movie refusing to fall into places to form a wholesome picture. The main protagonist, Tim, has some potential but then he lacks purpose or direction in his actions, he also does not know what to do with his life or his gift of being able to travel back in time. He does appear as nice and caring though so bloody dull and boneless. Supporting characters seem to be on their own, supporting no one in particular. The main heroine is nothing but pretty face who supposedly reads other people's novels. She lacks any interesting traits or lines to say. She is almost like a piece of furniture in the movie and you cannot help but wonder what Tim has found in her... Perhaps their dullness unites them... There are no great wisdoms or even small ones either. Two hours of time claimed but utter banal, trivial, storyless, directionless movie.
