This is the best time paradox movie I have ever seen. Although it is in non-English language, yet it is very easy to understand it with english subtitles if you are you are an English language viewer. The movie explains the whole plot so beautifully, that it makes you enthralled through out the ending. A must watch for everyone. I repeat !! , a must watch for everyone !!
Good, but slightly unsettling. Connected all the loose ends nicely.
very good time travell movie :-) Me Gusta
This is really entertaining until you realize that the cleverness of showing the same events, but from different angles, really isn't all that clever. Yes, the way Hector begins subconsciously creating what he's seen before and then purposely starts setting things up is interesting, but eventually the "Ah-Ha! I remember that!" novelty wears thin.
The plight of the characters is not interesting because we learn absolutely nothing about them. That's an okay thing if the story means to concentrate on the science, the time-travel device, the guy running the time-travel machine, but this isn't covered, either. Instead there's only the same scenes reconstructed two or three times. Worse yet, it happens to people you don't know a thing about. It's ultimately uninteresting.
What makes the movie worth watching is the unwrapping of (or wrapping of) the man in the bandages. The ending is also a nice moment and it does keep you wondering how it's going to end.
This was a similarly frustrating watch for many of the same reasons as 2009's much raved about "Triangle" was.
Overrated to be honest. The reactions are unnatural (even when you know the story beforehand). The story ends abruptly. It leaves you hanging because you’ll be expecting something more but you’ll be hit with the end credits instead.
Very enjoyable. Easy and solves the puzzle very well.
I liked how it starts and then quite fast you are caught up in that paradox along the main character (Hector). Just when I thought I knew what would happen and how it would end, it was only half of the movie. Then it hooks you again into the paradox. So cool. I also like how simple the character is. He is just an old man living his life, but got into something quite complex and that turned the way things went. It's a messy chain of events that connects one into the other. The ending was okay too, not the best thing but also not lame. I had low expectations for this movie, and as it performed better than I expected, it has my 8/10. It worth the watch.
Fantastic movie! Even watching the last few minutes, one could come up with sooooo many endings. Very cool. Do yourself a favor and watch this film.
It was well scripted and one of the best paradox movies I ever seen.
May be it was somewhat of a unique story at the time of release but it's predictable for new watchers today.
Stupid Hector! Feels like fixing up the loose ends were an afterthought. Well stitched "stuck in a time-loop" movie but lacks pizazz :sweat_smile:6.5/10
I guess the people behind this movie really liked the final act of the third Harry Potter film.
This film is really stylistic, twisted and fun in a dark way.
You have to puzzle together how everything happened.
I could’ve used a lot more character development though, because you don’t care about any of the people in it, and the lead is kind of an asshole.
Also, they do kinda cheat by suggesting that you shouldn’t try to alter the past, which is supposed to raise the stakes, but nothing in this film even suggests that that’s possible.
The whole film takes the ‘everything is pre-determined, you have no free will’ approach to time travel, so you can’t change the past, even if you wanted to.
6.5/10

It’s ok for a time travel film, but there are other films that do the concept better in my eyes. I felt a lot of the time I was not believing that’s what someone in that position would “do”.
For example with Hector 1 randomly breaking in to the building rather than going home to call the police. Or when he’s “surprised” he accidentally killed his wife in his own house. Who else are you expecting to be in there??
Not a bad watch, but definitely better out there.
