I wanted to like this one. I love time travel movies - especially when it involves scenarios like this story (someone was killed in the past and the protagonist tries to change the situation), as they also often involve a mystery (like this one did as well). Some folks might see a lot of similarities between this film and Totally Killer, which came out last year. They also might feel like this was a ripoff of the other movie, but this was written before Totally Killer, so this seems to just be a matter of timing for both films. Totally Killer wasn't a huge hit for me, so I was hoping that this would end up being a more enjoyable experience, but sadly that wasn't the case. While it got off to an interesting start, the contrivances and ludicrous scenarios (like a couple of teens being able to slip easily through the gates of a NUCLEAR FACILITY WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT) - as well as the "forbidden love" scenario that played out in here (which felt inserted just for the sake of messaging) - were just too much. And the reveal of the killer (who I had already guessed) was so ridiculous and did not hold up to any level of scrutiny. The main actor also wasn't very convincing (or likable) for me, and I got a bit weary of the constant creased forehead/worried/conflicted/sad/tormented expression she wore pretty much the entire film. On top of that, she constantly contradicted herself with her actions/decision-making. The ending was also rushed and nonsensical, despite its attempt to come up with a "solution" that solved all the problems. It just felt forced and unfortunately did not stick the landing.
