I really liked this movie, my husband and I watched it broken up over 3nights because we didn't have time, but I kept on thinking about it. I've watched tons of time travel films, and for me, this is a pretty good one. I think the characters, despite what other have said, were pretty well-drawn. At least the 2 leads. Some of the dialog was a tad unnatural at times, but I also chlk some of it up to the actors. The acting isn't gonna win awards, it's pretty descent. Especially James Kyson, he was just hilarious every scene he was in, total scene stealer.
I liked that the lead character was already fascinated with science, it was something he originally wanted to do, but ended up somewhere else in life. He ends up connecting with a coworker who is engaged who basically tells him he needs to do what he really wants to do, and her zeal for life kind of makes him rethink things, for most people that doesn't involve time travel, but for him he decides its a path worth exploring. I again really liked that this character had a background in science, and he watched science videos all of the time. He was constantly watching things about time travel. So in that regard I found it a lot more believable. We don't know what his exact skill levels were, but he seemed to have a high aptitude for math, and that plays an important role in the movie.
I do think this was a well-thought out film about the choices we make in life and where they can take us. It is a fun movie, but it is definitely philosophical as all time travel movies are, and I was a little bit surprised at the end, I generally thought it was a good ending, but it definitely leaves us with a few questions, but I can't reveal them without spoilers, so I won't.
I think it works pretty well as a time travel movie and a romance, and for me, it's one of the better of these kinds of movies I've seen. I also recommend "Making Time" if you like this movie.
