Wonderful character development!

Purely Joyful Movie!

Am I Missing Something?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is more cerebral than your average time travel movie, which is saying a lot because most time travel movies are messing with your head from the start. This one has an interesting premise, that is hard to describe without spoilers, but in general terms it is looking at the grandparent paradox and one way the universe might force consistency out of it. There is a recent time travel book called Version Control that does much the same thing, choosing to create paradoxes in the universe in order to avoid other ones. That means viewers that prefer obvious, explainable loops like Back to the Future will be disappointed by what seem to be inconsistencies in the plot, but those viewers who want to take their time travel game up a notch will have a lot to chew on here, If you pay attention, this one will have you mulling over things for days.The story is helped along by poignant reflections on grief and human connections. In some ways the grief aspect of the story could have been more developed, but on the other hand it was given more serious screen time than what you would normally see in a movie like this.Pulling in Linda Hamilton for a cameo was inspired; she really underplayed it.

Rarely do you come across a sci-fi movie that doesn't spoonfeed you layman versions of all the scientific concepts it's playing with. And I'll be honest, it took me some time to wrap my head around everything upon first viewing. But once I did, this tale about grief hit me like a gut punch. Do yourselves a favor and really pay attention when you give this a watch... it'll be worth it.

Without giving away any real spoilers, this is the worst time traveler movie I have ever seen (which is probably the vast majority of them). Even the time-traveling building miniseries was so so much better than this. If this is all they could do with time travel, well, then they definitely do not deserve the tech at all. And good riddance! Do you really want these same folks mucking with the timeline?!

CURVATURE is a time travel sci-fi drama about an engineer who travels back in time to stop herself from committing a murder. The only reason why i even watched Curvature in the first place was because of Linda Hamilton and i was disappointed when i found out that she is in the film for like 4 minutes and somehow the department team promoted her as an actual character in the movie. The film is a mess from acting standpoint to characters to it's plot itself and the Sci-Fi element was terrible enough for me to even care a little bit.
