Don't Believe the Hype
... View MoreAbsolutely brilliant
... View MoreThe performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreHere's a movie in which you wouldn't be able to stop talking about it. It's a big questions mark. And it begs the questions "Which comes first? The chicken or the egg?"
... View MoreA mediocre film that is not holding up well. I judge all art at least partially by how well it holds up over time. This film is not holding up well. The second view was much more disappointing than the first. Other issues are the horrible makeup job for the older Jane. It looks like a child did it or maybe a cheap face painting job at the fair. How did that get the okay?The overall story is a decent concept, but it's rather obvious, and presented in a only a moderately compelling manner.I think the acting is the bright spot in the film. Not a weak performance any where. Why not go deeper into the "solving the big bombing" story line? That could have brought real edge to the movie. Too much time spent on trying to set up the big reveal which everyone has figured out half way through the film. Sorry, no "sixth sense" stunner here gang.
... View MoreBy now it should be impossible for a time-travel movie NOT to induce a yawn. How many of the damn things are there now?But this one actually took my breath away. It's got it all: Good production, good writing, great acting and direction, and an artistic sensibility that stretches from decent action to compelling parlor drama.No spoilers, but bear in mind it treads the same basic territory as Gilliam's "Twelve Monkeys"; that time travel is fundamentally indistinguishable from reality severance. If you found that cool in Gilliam, you'll find it at least as cool, and probably more cool, here.And... It's a truly touching story. You might cry, if your emotional responses can find the berth amid the bizarre wonder at the temerity of the premise as it unfolds and jumps headlong into the impossible possible.No question. Sci-fi fan?: Check it out.
