This movie rocks

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2004)

This is thoughtful, intriguing, well-put-together science fiction.

I loved this movie. I found it powerful and compelling. Yes, there's thin spots, but there's also scenes that will stay with me for days. Some critics are complaining of paradoxes, but I say that these are inherent in any treatment of time travel. I salute the way this movie approached the question of time paradox, and I especially salute the development of plot and unfoldment of details. I was engrossed by the character development, and intrigued by the various life-paths explored as the result of early choices and influences. Evan's solution to his dilemma is a first-class sacrifice.
There are some people commenting on the nudity in the film. I actually didn't remember any nudity until I read others' comments. I guess it was one or two quick flashes. Nothing extensive, and all of it in context. There's a lot going on in every single frame of this movie. Very rich.
