Very Viewable, if...

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2007)

Fast-paced thriller, very, very viewable if one is prepared to overlook the time-travel-cum-quantum-physics questions that inevitably arise as the plot unfolds. The problem with this theme is that the storyteller invariably has to deal with the type of realism that the audience comes to expect, not that there ever was a time travel story that ever satisfied an audience's taste for realism.
This time, instead of an out-and-out take on time travel, the writers merged this worn-out concept with that of quantum physics' multi-verse. Not with great success because one asks the question how would altering the past affect the other branches of the time-space continuum. And so forth...
The ending was somewhat lame in that it failed to answer this question to satisfaction. However Denzel's acting was superb, so was his role. The pacing was electric and the story, while dealing with a complicated premise, was surprisingly not very difficult to follow.
Very viewable indeed...
