Cool because not scientific

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2004)

This movie's good because it's not scientific. No attempt to explain the effects is a good twist. Being a scientist I didn't want to see any kind of explanations. Everything is about time and events. You see the first half (youth times) as things happen and then the time travels.
Just the fact that the ability runs in the family is interesting. How the family line has it is not explained and that's good. I think not explaining why it could have happened in the first place is a good writing. Sometimes things just can't be explained. The ending that explains why the mom had two miscarriages before is pretty good. Everything is about sacrifice in this movie.
The only ting that's kind of disappointing is the cast. Kutcher is kind of okay but Smart is not. She's, well you'll know when you see the movie.
If you just want a story that's just fun to watch this is it. If you long for exact science and explanations I don't recommend this one. You should watch the movie to experience the 'what if factor'.
