Deja crap

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2007)

Man, what the hell were they thinking? This movie had the potential to be a smart SciFi/action flick. I was willing to look past the whole looking back in time aspect of the movie, because the predestination paradox problem was so well written. Then there was that terrible ending, and the movie lost any little credibility it had. Not only does the ending contradict the predestination paradox, but also the science that the movie is built on. Were we supposed to believe that there was some kind of divine intervention, or was the end changed so the movie could be dedicated to the victims/survivors(?) of hurricane Katrina? I mean, how can you travel back in time to stop a ship from exploding, if it never exploded in the first place?
All the performances were good,with the best coming from Adam Goldberg, as the typical computer nerd. Val Kilmer looked fat and old. Denzel Washington was solid, but we had seen it all before. Why would he except another cop role?
Tont Scott did a brilliant job directing, but this has to be one of his worst.
Don't bother watching it, you would be wasting your time.
Perhaps they should of done their homework and studied Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(book & movie), before making this garbage.
3 stars for the performances, directing and cinematography.
