I wish I had read a spoiler

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2016)

I read the reviews, I watched the trailer, I read the critics responses. If only I could take back what I have seen.
The film starts with a flash back to a mother and her young child, skip forward a few minutes and we are presented with a difficult, premature death. There is no doubt that this is emotionally charged, it is not what I expected and as a parent of young children had I known in advance I was going to have to come armed to deal with morale dilemma of the highest order I would have stayed at home. To be clear had I known in advance what was to come I would have walked out.
I understand the need to emotionally charge a script, to set the scene and the need to quickly build character; it was in this light that I hoped and expected the film to progress. What I did not expect was that this difficult opening would be the basis for everything that was to come. No parent wants to be face with the question "would you have your child if you knew they would die early".
I appreciate that some "proper" science fiction fans like to tackle the questions and the greater implication for humanity..me.. I like to go home knowing my kids are safe and certainly do not expect to be dealing with questions about young life and death in a movie that needs the most ludicrous contortion of time travel to be used as a tool in order to add drama to an otherwise flat and uninteresting plot.
The films question is do we go on when we know the ending. I think we go on because we don't know the ending and find the alternative deeply depressing.
Go see it if you want to deconstruct the human condition and moralise, if you are a parent of young children or do not like the current trend for teenage angst and intellectualism given a big budget stay away.
