Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This movie will never be seen as one of the great classics, it is much too pedestrian in execution for that - sadly. The actors are mostly competent as is the direction, but with the exception of Catherine Bell and James Allodi none is really good, sometimes delivering lines as if just reading from cue cards.What is really intriguing is the script, which does not rely on the typical B-movie thriller baddies. All characters really *are* characters, the supposed baddies actually have good reasons to hunt down the two main characters. There's even two juxtaposed dialogues spelling it out for the sake of the usual couch potato.Even more surprising is the stand on Free Will the scrípt takes as Casper van Dien tells Catherine Bell that their hunters may try to safe their own past, but he has all his future in front of him. As long as we cannot predict the future in any meaningful way (lets say with 100% assurance) we have a contingency of decisions, which all influence the future.In the hands of a more visionary director, with some changes to the cast and made for the big screen it could have been one of the best sci-fi thrillers for a long time - and much more interesting than *Blade Runner* or the second and third installment of *Matrix*.
I absolutely love films that involve time travel. It makes us wonder if it's really worth to change time. It also makes us think that things happen for a reason and changing the past can have catastrophic consequences.This movie shows that really well.
Who would have thought that the guy from Starship Troopers would be in a bad movie? Don't waste your time. It couldn't even hold my attention for its entirety. The premise is solid, as far as made-for-TV science-fiction goes, but the execution is shoddy. Again, don't waste your time.
I caught this mostly by accident last night on TBS and it was much better than I expected. I think there are only a half dozen or so possible plots for a time travel story -- but this movie has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. The coincidences are just a bit too much, but all is forgiven when I can be surprised in the last 30 minutes.
