Too much of everything

Awesome Movie

A Disappointing Continuation

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I've watched more time travel movies than I can remember. They've all been interesting but this one sticks in my mind as the one I like the most.I think it's because James Belushi's character is completely unpredictable and Kylie Travis' character becomes increasingly desperate as a result. I guess it's also because I like the idea that even if you have the ability to travel in time, that doesn't mean you'll automatically be able to change the outcome.I guess I also like the idea of having female lead characters in science fiction movies. Alien, for example, works well for me for that reason too.

Why are a lot of people comparing sci-fi movies to the known boundaries of science? There is fiction and there is non-fiction.. but there is also science-fiction, which is also non fiction. There is always a counterintuitive element in these movies and when you are nitpicking it its like unweaving a rainbow for no apparent reason, comparing apples and oranges etc. Just because a movie lacks a waterproof logical basis does not mean it can't be a great (B) movie. The sheer fact that time traveling on macro human-level can't be done according to what we know today would also dismiss great movies like Back to the Future, Terminator series, etc. If you want reality: do not watch movies, for they are at best based upon it. That off my chest, I can safely say I enjoyed this movie quite a bit through empirical proof. To me it is not even about the time traveling situation, its merely the cinematography of the desert, the americana of it all.

Director Louis Morneau who also directed another classic flick, Road Kill 2: Dead Ahead 2008 has created another gem in Retroactive.Starring James Belushi who has also been other classic flick , Salvador 1986 and Made Men 1999.Also starring Kylie Travis.Also starring Shannon Whirry who has also been in other classic flicks, Animal Instincts II 1994, Animal Instincts 1992, Mirror Images II 1993 and Out for Justice 1991.Also starring M.Emmet Walsh who has also been in other classic flicks, Romeo + Juliet 1996, Narrow Margin 1990, Blood Simple 1984 and Blade Runner 1982.I enjoyed the shootouts and car chases.If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic time travel flicks, The Butterfly Effect 2004, Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey 1988, Planet of the Apes 1968, Primer 2004, Returner 2002, Slaughterhouse-Five 1972, Timecop 1994, The Caller 2011, Triangle 2009, Edge of Tomorrow 2014 and Timecrimes 2007.

Honestly, I have seen better film growing on my teeth. You might find this movie entertaining if you are under the age of 12 or one of the two people on the planet that think that Jim Belushi is the best actors ever. The fine people who made this movie probably had a few hundred dollars, a borrowed camera and a weekend to kill in the desert after they showed up a week late to Burning Man. I personally am a fan of sci-fi and "shoot-em-up" action John Woo style movies, but this took the plot to Waterworld, the action of TankGirl, and the dialogue of New York Minuite. Its sad to say that Belushi doing "Joe Somebody" was a step UP.Overall... BOO!
