Just don't try to rationalize the last 10 minutes, and you will enjoy it!

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2013)

After watching Moon by Duncan Jones, I was quite interested in watching his next work. After reading a brief summary of the movie, my first thought was, this will be way too similar to Deja Vu (2006, with Denzel Washington). I was wrong though, even though the movie is based on time travel as a vehicle to solve a crime, in this case the time traveler (Cpt. Stevens, cannot change what already occurred, and this travels are just merely to collect evidence).
A big part of the movie happens in the same train compartment where Cpt. Stevens wakes up every time he "travels" (it is more like access to somebody memories), however small changes occur every time, to avoid it become monotonous.
The movie though, gets extended 10 minutes too long, otherwise it would have been a great ending. I do like when movies end in a happy note, but they should not sacrifice the whole story to make this possible. In this case they did it (in my opinion). I know science fiction does not have to make sense all the time. However there should be a balance where even though some things might not be able to be rationalized, you should not feel the argument proposed totally dumb (specially if the movie is trying to be a bit serious like this one).
Score (7)
