Dallas dream ending

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2006)

This could have been a very good movie.... but it wasn't. I liked the movie all the way to the "Dallas-it-was-all-just-a-dream" ending. O'k here is the problem with the ending... if his Mom's plane didn't crash, then where did the jet engine come from?????? So none of the rest of the movie makes sense. I liked the actors, the script was out there, but I was willing to go with it, but the ending ruined the entire movie. Teen angst is great for a movie, but the ending eliminated the teen angst, since the teen was dead all of the time anyway. There have been sooo many time travel movies made, you really have to go the extra mile to make a time travel movie work. The ending lost that extra mile. I think the Writer/Director just had no real ending for the movie, so he just pulled this ending from his butt and explained it as new and different. It wasn't. It was done in the 80's on the TV show Dallas. Remember the whole Bobby-wasn't-dead-it-was-just-a-dream season? Or the ending to Newhart? It just twisted it to he didn't live, but was dead the whole time. Very lame. Too bad, because it had a very good cast.
