Pretentious and Pointless

Rating: 2/10 (25 February 2017)

The feelings of suspense engendered by the first few minutes didn't last long. The wafer-thin science fiction gives in half-way through to flat performances, lifeless dialog and pseudo-psychological babbling about language and time paradoxes employed by so many other films. None of that could hide the utterly pointless story woven around a 'plot-twist' that felt completely inconsequential as all the characters were one- dimensional. Once it became clear this 'story' had no real goal I couldn't wait for it to limp to its impact-less climax. A waste of time and very disappointing from a director whose previous work I'd enjoyed.
