Great Movie (But don't take it too seriously)

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2012)

I watched this movie with high expectations. I didn't get the action movie I anticipated from the previews, but I was pleasantly surprised just the same.
The plot was new and interesting and the acting was superb all around. I really enjoyed that this wasn't a good guy/bad guy flick. The leading characters all had mixed pasts, presents, and/or futures and the lines between right and wrong were blurred. I found the manner in which changes to the past affected the future, from a mental perspective more than physical, to be an interesting take on possible effects of time travel.
Other reviews I read have indicated that some were disappointed with so called illogical time travel scenarios. To be honest, I find that a tad silly as time travel a) doesn't exist (yet) and b) can lead to paradoxical events which can't possibly have a logical outcome.
In the film many subjects are intentionally brushed aside or ignored, such as discussions regarding time travel logistics and detailed information about why exactly the future poses certain limitations. I actually found this intentional and vocalized avoidance helpful. It told me things were the way they were for a reason and I should trust the movie and focus on the plot points being driven without getting caught up in the technicalities.
That said, the secret to getting the most out of this movie is to not take it too seriously. Just remember this is science 'fiction' and not science. Enjoy the ride.
