Not thrilling at all

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2015)

How in the name of all that's good & entertaining does this rate so highly. I skimmed some of the positive reviews and it left me nearly as bemused as the movie itself. Do yourself a favour if you're considering spending time, money or energy on this one. READ THE "HATED IT" reviews. They're the best thing about the movie - I laughed out loud at several of them but they are accurate. I didn't hate it, there is a bit of entertainment in there but it's not great.
Ignore the gushing reviews - this is not a good movie. There are worse flicks around I admit - but this one has a lot of undeserved hype.
Also it's simply not a thriller in any way. It has no "edge of seat" suspense that several positive reviews mention. Why would it? There's nothing to put you there except maybe anxiety over how bad it's going to get. There are no thrills, no real mystery (apart from the obvious one of how he keeps doing that which never gets answered and the directors don't seem to care about anyway).
So if you want to watch a nicely produced & filmed but badly written and acted "inspirational drama" (think Touched By An Angel rather than 12 Monkeys) you might enjoy this. Anyone looking for a serious quality movie about the nature of time, time travel, philosophical issues around messing with the past, mystery, suspense, thrills etc don't bother. Go watch The Triangle or Donny Darko or one of the dozens of other time-loop themed movies that are a million times better than this one.
