A simple thriller with no mental stimulation

Rating: 5/10 (18 June 2013)

I am not reviewing this, because I hated the movie so much, I am reviewing it for the sake of people like me, who were fooled into thinking that this one was somewhere on the level of Inception or any such similar movies, thus looking forward to a food and movie night and just ended up in bitter disappointment.
If you are expecting a simple "time travel" action thriller, you are partly gonna get your money's worth, but don't expect this one to be great and mind boggling. It's not a movie you ponder for days, it's a movie you forget in hours.
It is my fault, since my last 2 viewings were Primer and The machinist (which is a stunning movie if interpreted right), so I had very high expectations....I did think that a 7.5 rating warranted it, but sadly not.
The plot is predictable, the "time travel" theories have no real depth, the ending is classic Hollywood, while the real shockers of this movie are the 2 actors. Not going to say which...you figure it out. I mean really shocking. In The machinist I was watching the amazing Christian Bale and in this one I was practically gritting my teeth together because of the acting...
I heard someone comparing this to Inception. Please don't be fooled. Although Inception may be boring for some at some points, this one does not even get close. I mean come on...Inception had Leonardo in it...it's in another league, trust me.
I usually agree with IMDb ratings, but this one really missed it. Don't get me wrong, it's an average action movie and lots of people, wanting just plain old fun, may end up liking it, but overall it's a movie you quickly forget.
