Thought provoking. The blu-ray video was good quality but not the best. Audio is PCM with use of surrounds but most of the sound does seem to come from the front speakers. I enjoy movies with interesting subject matter, believeable or not. I like to be entertained and this movie did just that. Good LFE.
Sure, the viewer could speculate, but concrete examples could have added to the story.Since this is a review for the Blu-Ray it is worth mentioning that the picture and sound quality was excellent. This film did not reflect those talents and unfortunately the rest of the cast is not developed adequately. And why was there no reasonable explanation of how this would be applied. Sometimes the movie is less than exciting, while the picture is. You could argue that "you can't change fate", but it just was a bit ambiguous. Enjoyable action/drama sequences, and suspenseful in parts. Colors were rich and detail impressive.
Amazon, please add a space where we can separately rate the film, and the quality of picture and sound. Denzel Washington is one of the finest actors of our time. For instance, why was it that some things stayed the same, when Denzel traveled back, and some were different. The storyline of going back to prevent the future has been done many times before. The concept was a bit confusing, due to the numerous flashbacks and flashforwards, but it was also not consistent as some other reviewers point out. Give it a rent.
I had seen the trailer for this one but didn't find it alluring enough to fork over the $7 to see it at the movies or $5 to rent. I was fortunate enough to watch it for free on a STARZ free preview weekend. I love movies about Time-Travel. So for a free flick I give it 3 stars. Definitely worth it. This one was done fairly well with a plausible explanation. Enjoy.
This movie had me going right up until the final act, and then I watched it spiral out of control, as story and acting took a terrible u-turn and crashed on landing.Now I'm not a big Denzel fan, but for the first 2/3rd of the film, he actually did a pretty good job. But whether it was the writer or the director(horrid want-to-be as good as my brother, Tony Scott), the last 30 minutes left me and my girlfriend shouting at the screen, "Move your butt, aren't there people to save.".It's been awhile since I've viewed a movie where you can actually pinpoint the moment where everything derails, and all concept of time and logic is lost in the ashes.Avoid this one.
Terrific movie, One you can watch 2 or 3 times and still see something new.
