An excellent film

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2004)

I usually don't take the time to make comments on IMDB, especially on big ticket movies, but after reading some of the negative reviews, I just couldn't help myself.
Firstly, people need to stop talking about the chaos theory and time travel in the same context. One small facet of the chaos theory is concerned with predicting the effects a tiny change in the initial conditions of a system will have in the future. This movie seizes on that fact and bases its plot around the phenomenon.
This is a very, very good movie. People need to understand that it was not meant to be an accurate movie about time travel. The main character has the unique ability to travel back in time to different points in his life and alter their outcomes. This is not so much time travel as it is a paranormal psychic experience. I don't understand why people are bothering to argue whether or not the movie portrayed the alternative universe theory correctly. It was a great movie about a character with a PARANORMAL gift. The acting was as good as anything Hollywood has put out in the last few years. Ashton was great. I was able to take him seriously throughout the entire movie.
People need to give their damn heads a shake. Go see the film.

I suppose I really enjoyed the rather black atmosphere the most. It reminded me a bit of Donny Darko; another fine picture. I watch quite a few horror movies, and this one still had me jumping from time to time. Some of the action is predictable, some is surprising. I got my money's worth and would advise anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a supernatural slant to go out and see it while it is still in theaters.
