Plot

A terrorist attack rocks the New Orleans community when a ferry full of children, civilians and military explodes. As the police try to figure out what happened, Doug Carlin is introduced to a new technology - they are able to look back in time to four days ago. One victim of the terrorist attack doesn't seem to have the same symptoms of the attack so Carlin decides to see why she was different. When he finds out that the technology is not just viewing recorded video but is a look into the past, he wonders if he can stop the attack and save this girl. Can he or is time permanent once we have past through?






Rating Criteria

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.


3.5/5 - Plot line was complicated but over simplified. It talked about how manipulating time changes or controls what happens in yesterday's future ("I haven't changed a thing."), but didn't talk about consequences. You saw the note on the fridge that you placed there because you had placed it there, so you place it there again to give you hope. If he kept creating the future that he knew would happen, how come he actually changed the future? Sure, a slight change in the time frame can potentially change the future but they don't talk about it. Just because she was there and did that (since she wasn't killed like she had been), then there was a chance to change the attack?

It was a bit confusing and could have dived into the time-traveling questions. Aside that, it was a fair movie.



Anyways, that's my movie review. Thanks for reading! More reviews to come, so keep an eye out.
