Needed something obvious to...

... show where he changed the time line. I love sci-fi and especially time travel, and don't care what rules you come up with as long as you follow them. The only problem I really have with this movie is that he goes back in time and sees why the things he saw in the future were there, meaning that the future he came from included his going back. But if he is going to change the future, there has to be something obvious where he does this, it needs to be something that he knew happened that he is able to change, and then from that point forward everything changes. Plus, that would be a great opportunity for a dramatic visual effect to show that the timeline has been skewed. There is nothing like that, so at what point does the past he goes back to change to the alternate future? Also, to save the people on the ferry, all he had to do was call in a bomb threat and they would have evacuated the ferry. But that would make the end of the movie kind of anti-climactic. I still rate this an 8 out of 10, though, because I really enjoyed it in spite of its pitfalls.
