I caught this the night it opened, not knowing what to expect. The trailer doesn't really do it justice as it's not your average time travel movie. But then, it's not really any one kind of movie. It's a heady sci-fi tale with elements of a suspense thriller and even melodrama here and there. The genre mash-up doesn't always work, but there are key moments when it does and those alone are worth the price of admission.

Nothing about this film is game-changing, but it does so much right that i hope more people appreciate. First, the science behind the time travel device at the heart of the government conspiracy- based on a real covert R&D operation! - all checks out. Yeah, not as fun as the DeLorean but more interesting in my opinion. Second, and i think other people have said this already , this is really a movie about grief. After her husband's mysterious death, Helen - still processing all the anger and confusion associated with the death of a loved one - desperately searches for answers. And when she realizes that the same people who killed her future self (who's moved past the anger and onto complacency/ acceptance), she's able to help that future self (and be honest, with most time-travel movies its the other way around). And lastly, three words Linda. F***ing. Hamilton.

This is about the most boring, nonsensical file I can recall seeing. Lyndsy Fonseca's character is the kiss of death, she has one expression: Miserable. One way of expressing herself: Like someone has just spilled her drink. I think I would sum up the fate of Fonseca's character as "Who cares?".

First of all; what a criminal waste of Linda Hamilton! she is in about 2 scenes totaling about 3 minutes or so (I could be off on that by a few minutes but point is, she may aswell have not been in it).that out of the way, do you know how they say that when an actor is so bad that you just know they've screwed their way into the role? well that's exactly the vibe I get from the lead in this - she nailed the "looking miserable" part but delivered her lines so unconvincingly that I honestly think I could have done a better job at it and I am neither female nor an actor.basically it's a timeloop film, it doesn't really explain that the version of her that started the loop and is using the version of her with no memory (symptom of time travel) spent a week planning and leaving clues for herself before hand. one of the other massive annoyances in this film is that the reason the husband is murdered is because his partner wants to use the machine they've spent billions working on and the husband doesn't want to (yeah, why make a time machine if you don't want to use it right?!) at no point in the film did they demonstrate that the machine would be detrimental to anyone, yet the stupid woman blows it up because her idiot of a husband didn't want to use something he spent years of his life working on, frankly he deserved to get murdered for being a colossal idiot.when a film makes you sympathize with the "bad guy" and the lead characters are all upstaged by 3 minutes of someone who has criminally been made an extra (Linda Hamilton) you know you're in for a bad ride.
