One of the Best Time Travel Movies


There is no such thing as an accurate time travel movie. Back to the Future had plot holes all over the place. Even the original Time Machine offered no explanation for how George could time travel back and forth in the same space and not fuse with himself. So far, we only know that time travel exists on a subatomic level. Positrons are actually electrons traveling backwards in time. But as for this movie, it excelled in terms of what teenagers would do given the chance. They didn't think about saving the world like Gary Hobbs did in Early Edition. They thought of partying and do overs to get better grades or to say thing right thing to get the girl. Of course, we need to suspend disbelief. The movie got its impetus from the Butterfly Effect, but was better done. He knew that he couldn't save his father. He realized that he had to put things back. But Fate gave him a second chance at love and to him that was more important than the million dollars they had won. It is on part with the other recent time travel movie, About Time.

The WORST TIME TRAVEL MOVIE!

I don't know about time traveling electrons but I know about teleporting electrons; how they don't have a perfect orbit but jump sporadically to a different position. Those positrons would have a greater weight than an electron.

While I wouldn't put it as icily as Tiablo did, I have to agree in general. This movie's only good if you haven't seen a tim traveling movie before. It's nothing more than a rip-off of "Chronicle" if that movie's cast was the ignorant brats from "Project X".

First of all, no one knows anything about time travel. Great character build up, good story line, good entertainment... the acting was alright too.

I'm not a fan of hand held camera movies like Cloverfield and Blair Witch, but I enjoyed this film.
