Extremely Well Done

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2011)

This is a film that defies genre labels. It's not a time travel film, but it does seem to be able to change the recent past. It's a unique blend of science fiction and thriller, with a little bit of romance thrown in. For me the connection between Colter and Christina really clicked and made me want more of these two characters. I've seen some reviews that panned the ending as being unnecessary, but after the stunning revelation a little more than midway through, they had to provide more of a kick in the pants for the end. Definitely worked for me. Towards the end, it seemed it would end with Colter dying in a virtual reality fairy tale, and Goodwin throwing her career away to make it happen. But we then get left with a completely altered reality that actually works. I enjoyed this immensely.
