Pluses- the mystery and suspense, the sound effects and sound tracking, the camera work, some good thoughtful dialogue and the leads acting which holds together the movie Minuses- some wooden support acting, and the plot doesn't entirely make sense how it ends. Overall, work a watch if you don't mind more amateur indie sci-fi and don't expect too much, but if you expect something Hollywood polished, action driven, special fx driven or mindbendingly crafted, give it a miss.

Seems a bit of snobbery in the reviews here about how much they understand the ins and ours of time travel, therefore it's an Amazing film. well, you don't, you would understand the paradoxical levels in this film are implausible. That aside, it IS a movie, it's there to be enjoyed and not scrutinised for everything that is fact, not fiction. personally I enjoyed the film, though there are loopholes and giant cracks of sci fact, not sci fi, the premise is quite original. I would watch again, it won't win any Oscars or pull up any trees in the advancement of cinema, but it's an enjoyable and thought provoking piece

Zach Avery's acting was like a cancer to this movie. Every time he was on screen it died a little more. Good god, how did he make it past the auditions?

Lyndsy Fonseca did a fine job with the sub-par lines and direction, so it may have been an fun, but throw-away average movie if it wasn't for Zach Screen Cancer Avery who did his best version of Lenny von Dohlen's "Miles" from Electric Dreams (circa 1984).

It's so bad, in fact, that it has prompted this, my first IMDB review.

Avoid.

Time travel films always pique my interest and the premis of this new film looked intriguing. As you'll soon become aware modernity does not guarantee quality. I began to lose interest about 10 to 15 minutes into the film. It is dreadful B-movie rubbish. The plot is hard to follow - if you can be bothered - the dialogue is cheesy and action sequences are cliched. A lot of the acting is wooden and unengaging. I suppose the blame must lie as much with the film maker/director as with than the actors. It should be noted that well known actress and Terminator star, Linda Hamilton has a very small part in the film.. Oh dear I hope the paycheck was worth it and in the future she finds better vehicles than this.

While grieving the death of her husband Wells (Noah Bean), who committed suicide, Helen (Lyndsy Fonseca) meets his partner Tomas (Glenn Morshower) that asks her blessing to proceed running their company. Helen returns to her work and out of the blue, she has a blackout for several days. She wakes up at home and receives a phone call from herself warning that a man is coming in a BMW to kill her. She flees and goes to the house of her friend Alex (Zach Avery) to ask for help. They head to an isolated cabin that belonged to Helen´s father and soon Helen learns that she had sent herself to the past using a time machine invented by Wells to stop herself from committing a murder.

"Curvature" is a low-budget sci-fi film with a promising premise, reasonable development and a senseless commercial conclusion. The screenplay is intriguing but could have been better written since there are scenes absolutely ridiculous that should have been improved. Helen overturns Alex´s truck on the road and nobody comes to see or help. Helen, Alex and Kravitz fight in a hotel room and nobody comes to investigate what is happening. The cameo of Linda Hamilton is deceptive for her fans. The senseless conclusion with Helen receiving a correspondence with a flash memory is terrible. But in general the film is not bad and works on the video. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

This movie is basically just 2 people talking the whole way through about what 'is happening to me' and nothing ever really gets done. It lacks action, intelligence and any kind of real story line. and the acting is TERRIBLE

It was great to see a time travel movie with no idiotic special effects or implausible parallel universes. If we spend our time regretting the past and worrying about the future we can forget the paramount significance of now, the only time in which anything can be achieved. Fonseca is a brilliant actress and her character was consistent and convincing.

Being into time travel movies I decided to give this one a go despite the number of bad reviews here. I was not disappointed. Yes, it's a low budget movie, there are no fantastic special effects and some of the acting is below par - but once the story grabs you it doesn't let go til the end credits roll. Not the best film I have seen this year but interesting enough to make me want to watch it to the end. And despite what other reviewers have said, the ending does make sense but only if you use your brain.

A lot of questions not really answered well, but the movie is ok. But I gotta comment on this since I am a watch guy. That watch she puts in the drawer at the end is an automatic self winding watch which means it's a mechanical watch, not a quartz watch, soooooo what's with the ticking hand? The second hand should be sweeping and their shouldn't be a tick. This detail really annoys me. Because the watch face literally says auto-self winding. So why did you know that and go out of the way to make it tick? Wouldn't you just get another watch or at least take the auto-self winding label off in post production? I may sound like I am nit picking but it's this lack of attention to obvious details that ruins this movie. This is just a glaring example.

If you're planning watching this one you can't be too picky. Linda Hamilton "the big name of this movie" is just poster filling and only appears a couple minutes, Zach Avery on the other hand has a bigger role and is annoying to watch. To me he's basically a mediocre actor, at least in this movie where his bad acting shows. Not the whole cast is bad but there are for sure no future Oscar winners here. The story itself is a bit complicated to follow and is a bit far fetched even for a sci-fi. I can't say I really enjoyed this one, just sat through the story waiting for it to end.

Was drawn into seeing 'Curvature' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre as said many times. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive.

'Curvature' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better. 'Curvature' is very weak with a lot of big problems. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst. There is very little to recommend here but it's not completely irredeemable.

The best thing about 'Curvature' is the sets/scenery, that look like a lot of care and time went into constructing them. Rather than limited and drab, they have elaborate atmosphere.

Music is similarly atmospheric, and avoids being over-bearing or too much of one mood, the sound isn't too cheap either. Despite being criminally underused, considering she is the most well-known cast member, Linda Hamilton tries her best.

Rest of the acting however is pretty negligible, with a particularly lifeless performance from Zach Avery while Lynsey Fonesca came over as one note and ill at ease. The whole cast are ill served though by very clichéd and sketchy characterisation and a script that felt incomplete and with a lot of ramble and cheese.

Despite the sets impressing, much of the filming doesn't with it being far too obvious that there were budget limitations and that it was made in haste. The editing is sloppy and the camera work didn't seem particularly focused too often, although there are moments of slickness. The story doesn't really get off the ground (the direction likewise) and clarity is not a strong suit, it is not easy to follow at times and it is rife with ridiculousness and implausibility too glaring to ignore. Do have to agree too that the ending is terrible and doesn't make sense.

In conclusion, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I should have read more of the reviews. The acting and script we so bad it was painful. They spent a lot of money, had elaborate sets that all didn't mean a thing. Great concept. The writing was amateurish. Even Linda Hamilton was stiff, as though she along with the others had never acted before. Can't believe someone gave this a 10.

It's an exciting mystery where there's always something we don't know. At the end, I'm not even sure we got all the answers.

There is one scene that is too long and too depressing, complete with terrible new age music. I was worried the whole movie would be like this because I didn't bother to read the summary.

But then things change drastically, and for the better. First there is more new age music with what I would describe as footage from those science movies we watched in school.

Helen is on the run, and the movie just got more fun. The new age music has changed to what was probably called "space music" in the 60s.

During an exciting car chase, someone got really creative with camera work when a vehicle rolled over. But it's like that Schwarznegger movie where he somehow ended up in the real world and discovered pain for the first time. The characters don't seem to feel pain or get hurt.

Speaking of Schwarznegger, one of his best-known co-stars, Linda Hamilton, plays a college professor. Yes, Helen's a science and math nerd. Too pretty to be one, but when she and Alex start doing complicated math puzzles she gets so excited. Lyndsy Fonseca gives a good performance, going from depressed to frightened to excited. And she shows a lot of determination.

There are serious moral questions. Someone wants revenge and we have an explosion, but I'm not sure why.

There are flashbacks and scenes involving science experiments that I didn't quite understand.

Other than her, I don't know that there's anything special with the acting.

Is it family friendly? As usual for movies like this, the sound goes out and a character's mouth is blurry in many cases. Other than that, I don't know that there's anything to be too concerned about.

I would compare this to a TV-movie or an episode of a TV series, but it's entertaining enough.

I love Time Travel movies but this film was a disappointing let down. I was amazed at the good actors( with the exception of Zach Avery), good camera work, good atmosphere and special effects which were wasted on this poor script and poorly paced film. Lyndsy Fonseca, Glenn Morshower, Noah Bean and Alex Lanipekun did the best with what they had to work with. For the life of me I can't see how Zach Avery got an "And Zach Avery" billing in the credits.

Writer doesn't understand time travel, and director doesn't understand suspense. Stupidest movie I've tolerated in a long time! Woman is sent FORWARD a week to stop a murder, but her future self is still there, in the future, both in the same time zone. Her future self wouldn't be there too, because she never went back to move forward naturally. Plot makes NO SENSE!!

Not as intriguing as it perhaps could've been, but 'Curvature' is a decent sci-fi drama.

Top marks go to Noah Rosenthal for the cinematography, which is very good - the film looks lovely. Lyndsy Fonseca does well in the lead role, while Glenn Morshower and Zach Avery support adequately.

There are, of course, issues with the plot and the legitimacy of it all, but that's what you tend to get with productions regarding time travel. More could have definitely been done with the story, though all in all I had a fine time watching this.

Without giving away any real spoilers, this is the worst time traveler movie I have ever seen (which is probably the vast majority of them). Even the time-traveling building miniseries was so so much better than this. If this is all they could do with time travel, well, then they definitely do not deserve the tech at all. And good riddance! Do you really want these same folks mucking with the timeline?!

Before then you're just wondering what is going on. You see what is going on, but it has no context. The description says goes back to stop herself doing a murder. But there was no murder. Who, what, when, what's going on. After an hour we see what is happening. This doesn't happen eventually anyway. She's one cute chick though.

Linda was in the film for 20 seconds in total. The rest is so badly acted that you loose respect for the film instantly. It is very slow and very predictable with an ending that fizzles rather than wows

I have to laugh at the shills on here giving this 10/10 and people actually vote on their false reviews.

Ok let me give you a clue - Before you thumbs up a review check the reviewer and how many reviews they have done and if they have a profile picture. No profile picture - one review and 10/10.

I guess the director was a bit angry at all the bad reviews and vented his frustration at us by posting obviously false reviews - I actually feel sorry for him that he had to do this! I shall leave you to work out which one of the shills he is but its pretty obvious he even says it on his profile!

First of all the movie started off ok and has some decent actors in it but the story is just another re-tread of a well worn topic and its not done that well, its not ground breaking or even interesting - its illogical for the most part and you will be scratching your head through most of it wondering now how can that possibly happen? Like the package at the end with the USB stick arriving well into the future when mail is usually delivered within a day or two. I guess the director and shill reviewers and you can always tell will just say you didnt get it or dont understand it because its beyond your intelligence using the fact that time travel is a complex topic that only they understand - LOL Dont be hoodwinkled - read all the proper reviews they give you the real overview and for the most part are usually correct - I am not giving it 1/10 as its not the worst movie I have ever seen but the people who give it 10/10 mean its the best movie you have ever seen - Really?

Avoid this like the plague its a real bore , hardly any special effects and just a long drawn out and confusing story with no proper science in it or thought , just a cash cow for Netflix or Amazon!
