No expectations are too high...

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2005)

A tragic and dramatic story as well as a tension-filled adventure through time and space in this extraordinary feature.
It all begins in Evan's (Ashton Kutcher) childhood, with him having constant blackouts for periods of time that he has absolutely no memory of. Since there seems to be no way to remember these events, Evan makes an effort in writing everything he does into his journals. But the blackouts isn't the only thing Evan and his mother (Melora Walters) is worried about. His father is contained in a mental-institution after having similar symptoms as Evan. There is also the girl, Kayleigh Miller (Amy Smart) - the love of his life, who he's since long lost contact with after growing up. While now living at a fraternity with his room-mate Thumper (Ethan Suplee), he decides to go see her again. But when things turn out as bad as they can, Evan can only wish there was a way to change it all. Finding his old journals from when he was a child, he starts reading them, experiencing the long forgotten skeletons in the closet. As he is reading, something happens, something impossible...
Ashton Kutcher displays another side of his acting. Here displaying excellent skill in the more dramatic role as Evan Treborn, a most unusual individual who discovers there's something odd about him.
My expectations of this movie was very high after hearing a bit about it. Somewhere deep down I was worried that when watching it, I would be disappointed. How wrong I was. It not only made my expectations but exceeded them enormously. I would recommend this movie strongly to anyone who likes adventures into the supernatural, excitement and science-fiction as well as anyone who likes a fantastically dramatic experience that can make you drop a tear, filled with love, sorrow and emotion.
