Unexpectadly Great

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2004)

Let me just say that I went into this movie with low expectations. While I think that Ashton Kutcher is incredibly funny, and I liked Amy Smart in Road Trip, neither have done any serious work so I did not expect greatness. I won't go as far as to say that eihter was that wonderful, but both were certainly convincing. I was impressed. What struck me the most was that unlike most movies in which you want to reach the end to see how it all works out, I didn't want it to end. I wanted the drama to continue because each turn was something new and incredible. Also, there were many parts of the movie that kind of freak you out, but those were not the memorable parts like in other movies. The plot held me in and the strange occurrances made it that much more appealing. Also at the end, all of the questions were answered, but they didn't just come right out and give it to you; the film makes you think. Overall it was unbelievably well-written. You would think that dealing with a topic like time travel it would be kind of corny, not so. It's just too bad that many people won't see this movie because they don't think Ashton Kutcher is a good actor. Just keep in mind that he's never played a serious role, so you don't really have any frame of reference now do you.
