no thinking necessary

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2004)

i must admit i had different expectations. with a title like this i was expecting something which involved a little more thought; something that would maybe invite me to think about the possible REALITY of the chaos theory and how it could REALLY effect our lives and how we could possibly CHANGE our lives for the better using it. i know that's a bit of a tall order but you gotta aim high! and because of my high expectations i was a bit disappointed by what turned out to be a teenage adventure backwards and forwards through time. Having said this it was still quite cleverly handled and put together, i.e. the father in hospital with the same 'illness' and how this theme is handled; the way in which when he goes back in time and changes a situation, therefore changing the future, was explored reasonably well.
If you are looking for a highly intellectual thought provoking and stimulating film this is probably not the one for you, but if you are looking for something to pass the time, you could do worse.
