yvonne-91633 I have to admit right away, that science fiction, which includes time travel, is not one of my favourite genres, simply because I struggle to understand the niceties of the story line, more often than not.Not being a very patient person, and hubbie having watched this film multiple times, I made him keep pausing the action to explain both the current and upcoming scenes to me ... frustrating for him I know, but I also hate surprises!Is Denzel Washington typecast? Probably Does he ever make a bad film? NeverYou could almost believe that he is playing out almost every character he has ever portrayed, in the way in which he approaches real life situations - cool, calm and collected.The plot was well considered and played out without any awkward continuity moments. The special effects and crowd scenes were meticulous and well executed and Val Kilmer played the perfect foil to Denzel's character.If you were not quite as sceptical as myself, you could not have failed to find this a very thought provoking, immersive and intriguing film.

bowmanblue 'Deja Vu' is definitely a film that you haven't felt like you've seen before *boom boom* - it's actually as 'original' as any modern Hollywood film is going to be. And by that I mean it's probably quite similar to a few others, but presented differently enough to make it worth a watch. And, if that's not enough of a recommendation, it has Denzel Washington in it. What more could you want? The ever excellent Denzel plays a cop who has to investigate a domestic terrorism incident where someone blows up a boat full of naval servicemen and their families as it draws into port in New Orleans. However, instead of taking witness statements and making public appeals, he chooses to team up with a shadowy government agency who have invented a machine that can 'look into the past.' However, just because they can peek into the past, doesn't mean they can easily identify the killer. Unfortunately, the machine can only look into the past exactly four and a half days ago – and time is constantly moving forward. Even in the past. Confused? Don't worry. Denzel will explain it better than I can.Although, it is one of those films where you do have to pay attention. It's not one where you can check your Instagram account and wander off for a cup of tea. I'm not going to go into how the plot unfolds, as there's more to it than I've mentioned. If you're slightly put off by the sci-fi element, don't be. It works on many levels. Obviously, there's a strong sci-fi feel to it, but nothing too over-the-top and the machine has a 'real' look to it, like it could really exist in our world. However, it's primarily a cop movie where the good guy has to track down the bad guy. So, hopefully it should appeal to more than just fans of the sci-fi genre. And, obviously, you have Denzel. He'll probably never win any Oscars for his performance here, but it is definitely enough to lift the film to even higher heights.Don't expect wall-to-wall action. This is definitely not a 'Transformers' movie. And it's all the better for it. Get ready to follow closely and see what the future holds for the war on terror. Or should that be the past?

Richie-67-485852 Deja vu the concept does you in because it doesn't answer to you but instead beckons and then has its own rules. You know that feeling one gets where they have some familiarity about a situation or person? We shrug it off or take note that it is beyond our understanding to process thus we call it Deja vu alluding to the supernatural. That's really all we can do however in this movie, they go beyond that. A plot twist and hook that never misses is the concept of time travel. It plays very nicely with your head and when being discussed, there are no wrong answers only one mystery after another, plenty of aha moments together with how can that be? This movie and its characters captures that quite well. Good intensity levels here and I was impressed with the directing and explosions which become integral to the plot. After scratching your head a few times afterwards and of course discussing this with someone else, one has to wonder what happened after the movie ends and who really knows what happened within the movie. A sequel wouldn't have hurt at all and as we all know, many time travel-movies proved a success if they respected the concept. This movie did. As usual, Denzel is a delight to watch as is Val Kilmer. Popcorn would compliment this movie along with a tasty drink. If you decide to eat, try a hamburger and fries as one of the characters really chomps down on one making you wish for one. Why wish? Get one! Enjoy with a friend so as to share the many scenarios that flood the mind all pleasurable I might add. Deja vu waits for you!

stav_lefler Perhaps it's just Washington's presence, an actor who's always only somewhat serious about himself and about the characters he plays. Anyway, the movie as a whole doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, too. Therefore, in spite of several loopholes and inconsistencies, it provides good fun without getting too heavy or self- important. Points to Scott for that, and let's hope for more entertaining stuff by the Washington-Scott duo. What begins as a seemingly ordinary disaster film turns into a geek-pseudo-sci-fi high-action and even slightly romantic drama. When moving through time is introduced, it is done organically and, again, the movie doesn't make too much of a big deal about it, and - thank the gods - doesn't try to over-explain it. It remains, above all, a good show that's fun to watch.
