Plot

An airport traffic controller named Dylan is very good at his job because he sees patterns. One day, he barely saves two planes from crashing (one taking off, one landing). The patterns he sees start showing him something different. As he is trying to figure out what the patterns are saying, he meets a cute girl and they hit it off immediately. The patterns seem to be revolving around her. Could destiny be a thing? Is it possible that events of the past can repeat in the present?

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 - *SPOILERS* This was an interesting movie but it was heavy on the emphasis of patterns, less on the characters. At the end, the air traffic controller went for his pilot license and saw the girl, who had a baby. The movie would not tell us if they were together or anything like that. It just said "he saw the pattern, it was a repeat of what happened in the past, but they survived it unlike those of the past". Very unfulfilling ending.

Would I recommend this movie? Maybe but it was pretty disappointing overall. There's better movies out there.

That's my review. Thank you for reading! More to come in the future.
