I thought it was to movies what abstract paintings like those by Picasso and Dali are to visual art.
You have GOT to be kidding. This movie sucked.
It was boring, convoluted and not thought provoking at all.
It's hard to understand because the director/writer is bad at story telling. That's not a good thing. It's a flaw.
The characters were one dimensional and their conversations were either boring or confusing and sometimes both. And why did they keep talking over each other, and changing the subject every five seconds? That was very irritating.
A lot of the movie was wasted. Instead of including that meaningless techno-babble at the beginning, he could have used that time to explain the story better. It's a short movie. None of it should have been wasted like that.
The theme of the movie, the paradoxes and problems created by time travel, is nothing new, and it's been done a lot better in the past.
I have no idea why this won awards. It is not the masterpiece that so many people seem to think it is. Picasso? Dali? Please.
There are only two reasons I can think of why someone would like this movie.
1. They want to feel like an elite movie snob. This is a silly reason to like it. It's like bragging to people that you have great taste in wine... because you appreciate the kind that comes in boxes.
2. They like to solve puzzles. If someone likes to solve riddles and puzzles, then I can see how they might love this movie. You could watch it ten times in a row and still not fully understand it.
I gave it 2 stars. Maybe that is a little bit harsh, considering that it was made on a 7k budget. But still... I don't see the appeal of this movie. If you like puzzles, then watch it. If you don't, it's just a big waste of time.
