Great for those who purely enjoy the notion of time travel paradoxes

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2004)

If you really like the potential of the time travel paradox (what happens if you go back in time and kill the person who would eventually invent the time machine you would use to go back in time and kill...), then you'll enjoy this wall to wall version of it. The movie is best enjoyed as a "study" of that - in particular, a study of ones inability to really predict the effect of the change. You don't need a microscope or a seminar to find holes and slips in the story or logic - if you can resist that and instead see it as an idea that's worth doing even though the details aren't perfected, then you can enjoy it (in spite of some pretty uncomfortable moments (violence, etc.), even if those things make you uncomfortable (as they do me)). After all, "What if I could do things differently?" - is a question that everyone must toy with at one time or another. And so is the feeling of making things worse when you try to make things better.
