Entertaining enough

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2012)

The thing that really amuses me about a lot of the negative reviews on here is the reviewer's issues with the writers 'lack of proper understanding about the mechanics of time travel' May I remind everyone that time travel is in fact not a known science, so expecting anyone to have a complete grasp of such is in fact, impossible.
This film was entertaining enough for me to spend the money and 2 hours in a cinema, I didn't leave feeling robbed like I did with Prometheus.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was good, but I didn't expect anything less. The makeup to give him more of a resemblance to Bruce Willis was actually quite good and allowed him to embody Willis' facial gestures quite well. The guy's obviously done his homework, but it was not a direct copy which was nice.
Willis was what he always is, a hardened guy who's got a score to settle, made bitter by a loss of some sorts, a classic role in which he does well and what we all expect.
Don't go expecting a full on science fiction time travel spectacular, because that isn't what this is, its a hybrid, part science fiction, part action thriller part drama. and to be honest its nice to have a change of pace and a bit of humanity. The kid who plays Cid is excellent.
