Some spoilers here, but minor. Just stuff that might influence your opinion of this film. No point in reading my post if you haven't seen it. And no point in reading it if you haven't either because it's reasonably likely to influence your response to the film. You've been warned...




I just watched this mind "you know what" of a movie last night. I wish I had one of their doohickey's to stop msyelf from having done so. :P

I found it so confusing at points as to be consciousness-altering. I told my roommate that I was very glad to be watching it sober. We were both seriously confused at some points, but by the end there were a number of things that made sense.

While theoretically interesting, I felt there were many problems with the movie. Like some reviewers, I felt the end was rushed. Even upon rethinking it, certain scenes flashed by so quickly that it is difficult to know what happened. The discordant overtalking constantly occurring between characters was off-putting and made conversations in an already confusing film more difficult to follow. I also don't like that it requires for anyone without a perfectly photographic memory multiple viewings to figure out the finer plot details. I'm (probably) not going to watch it again.

The potential issues with time travel, understanding oneself to figure out how one would respond in certain situations, paradoxes and other issues were good for promoting thought.

No other film has succeeded in making time travel look so unappealing and confusing.

Oh yeah, there was a lot of BS science stuff in there. All this stuff about odd numbers and parabolas, etc. That was silly. A lot of electronics talk earlier in film. Also silly.
