And again ... and again ...

When you reset something, you try to make it better. But if you do it too often, you may end up with a mess that you can not improve any longer. Keep that in mind. The motivation of the main character here is relatable, but you may find yourself shaking your head more than once, looking at the direction the movie takes.

Time travel movies have problems and they are not easy to write. Also if you are too impatient, you may have expectations that the movie cannot fulfill. Having said that, this movie is entertaining enough and has enough suspense for you not to care about certain things. While it also delivers impossible stunts from a woman that is a scientist first ... but maybe was a warrior in her previous life. Again try not to overthink it ... and those are the obvious things you can pick out. Just watch it and enjoy it for the romp that it is ...

Yet another time travel flick

I keep watching these time travel movies, thinking someone might come up with something good. On occasion, they do. Very rarely. This is not one of those times.

This is basically an action / adventure with a time travel theme. Kudos to them for sparing us the "Deja Vu" syndrome, showing the same scenes over and over. Every time a change happens we know it happens, but we don't have to watch the whole convoluted process over again (thank goodness).

But convoluted is its biggest problem. The script / director doesn't quite get across to the audience everything that's going on, and the plot twists get confusing pretty quickly. We're still able to follow the basic story line, but there are huge gaping holes in the plot that should have been filled in a lot better... and it would have been far more enjoyable if we'd actually seen more planning between certain characters (no spoilers).

This had great potential, but the writers didn't quite achieve that potential. This could be re-made with a much more intelligent and thought-out story line and be a much better movie.

As it is, it's kind of sloppy, with a very predictable ending. So as with most such films, it merely scores a mediocre rating, for producing yet another not-that-original time travel flick.

If you're going to do yet another time travel film-- better bring some real writing skills to the table.

Time travel ? Or parallel universes ? They can't decide...

If you think of this movie as Sci-Fi, it is a mess. Let go the Sci part, and look at it for what it is. Fiction or just plain Fantasy.

The issue is that the script itself doesn't decide what this is. Time Travel or Parallel universes. If they don't understand the difference, explains why everything happened how it did.

Now.. it is not total garbage. As the pro list, i could say it was fun, characters are likable, and the FX is decent. The con list would be that the story/dialogue is borderline stupid (honestly, you will guess every single plot twist before it even start), and the acting ability is amateurish. So, if you watch this not expecting a mind bending movie, you might enjoy it. (Hey, there are some hollywood movies about the same topic that are completely moronic... )
