Adilah Hamid Here'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?"
Christopher Reid I was so confused with the first half of this movie. I thought it was meant to be a sci-fi time travel thriller. But we get this biographical story for a large part of the running time. It's engaging, but makes you wonder - where is all this leading? What is this movie even about? Is this the right disc I inserted?Ultimately, I don't think it has any one clear message or point. But it's thought-provoking. It asks a lot of interesting "what if" questions. There are plenty of surprises and twists. It raises moral questions about the costs when trying to save lives. And about doing things which cause pain but knowing that you have to do them anyway. One underlying thread is the eternal question of the chicken and the egg and of male vs. female.The movie doesn't really make sense when deeply scrutinised. But it doesn't have to. The plot holds together, but it's unrealistic. But that's okay. It's abstract. It's about pondering these made-up ideas. It takes hypothetical time travel scenarios to their logical extreme. It could've been more concrete and had more of a connection to some kind of purposeful series of events, but it's works for what it is.The acting and directing are good. I like the tone overall. It's an easy movie to relax into, not trying too hard to entertain or preach or blow you away. It just takes you in with a fascinating story which raises a lot of questions. I can't remember the music, meaning it probably did its job without being either terrible or great.So I recommend this movie to people who like intricate stories with well-developed characters. However, it doesn't really lead anywhere profound. It's more about the journey itself and some general themes about existence, choice and identity. It's more of an interesting dream than a realistic story which can be taken seriously. And it's flawed and maybe even a little self-indulgent. But at least it's pretty unique and well made.
sandunicu-15658 Mind-blowing story. One of the best i ever saw. Skip the trailer. Go watch the movie. Thank me later.
jrenoe1 A 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.
