Imagine if "Somewhere In Time" had been directed by Brian De Palma.

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2004)

This movie would be the result. *Warning: one or two spoilers ahead.* The theme of this movie is atonement. And, in the role of Evan Treborn, Ashton Kutcher more than atones for mega-flops like "Dude, Where's My Car?"! The time-travel effects are pretty impressive, as are the memory catch-up sequences. There's one slight blooper, however. When Evan "remembers" Tommy's headstone, there is a brief shot of the deathdate. IT READS 1980! Yet, that portion of the film is supposed to take place a few days after the kids sneak in to a theater to watch "Seven" (starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt). AND, THAT WAS RELEASED TO THEATERS IN 1995! I may have been wrong about the date of the Meiji Rebellion ("Last Samurai" did get it right; go figure!). But, I am not wrong about this. That is why I only give this movie three-and-a-half stars, as opposed to a perfect five.
