A timeless masterpiece!
When I first saw the trailer to this movie at the theater, I wanted to see it. It was a new premise I had not heard of yet, it looked interesting. I have always been a science fiction fan growing up. I loved time travel stories (i.e. Back to the Future, Star Trek) so this looked promising. Little did I know that it exceeded my expectations. This movie was a sleeper, but should have been a blockbuster. Though the cast consisted of mainly unknown actors save Dennis Quaid, the story is solid, character development is excellent and the action is well done. Quaid and James Caviezel did a great job with their characters - the father/son relationship. The supporting actors did a good job too. One thing that was excellently done was the handling of temporal discrepancies that arise from stories involving time travel or alternate universes. Minute details are carefully shown, and in different instances questions that the audience might have are explained. Everything holds together. The ending was incredible, one of the few movies that kept me guessing until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie in the theater, and again on DVD. Now regarding the DVD, I think everyone should go buy this movie after reading this because it's too good to not have in your library. The extras are good, with deleted scenes and commentaries and what not. Overall, go buy this movie because it's one of the best movies of 2000. Buy it!!!!!
