What else should you expect out of a movie?

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2006)

I saw the movie at a Preview Screening at CSULB, despite the numerous technical difficulties, the movie was pretty good.
When you hear Bruckheimer's name associated with anything, you usually expect something cutting edge that does not insult your intelligence, and this movie delivers on that. The plot, while not perfect or fully believable, had my interests up quickly. It has a hint of CSI flavor as the audience gets to see evidence and how it got there.
I will agree with the other poster, in that the character development was pretty weak. The audience gets very little insight as to the lives of the characters, as well as what drives them to do the things they do. The acting was okay, but I cannot help but picture Washington on the football field in scenes where he chews gum.
Back to the plot; the whole premise of the movie has little in common with the phrase Dejavu in that the audience is not convinced enough that the characters actually feel like what they are experiencing has happened before. It was odd how they turned a seemingly simple crime investigation in the beginning to an elaborate time travel plot. Much of the physics involved makes sense, yet some do not. However, keep in mind that it is a movie, made to entertain and not compel people's minds.
Overall it was a decent movie. Once again no movie is perfect, and this movie had its highs and its lows. As described it is a huge mix of genres: action, drama, sci-fi, and some humor which works well enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
