Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Christampery How do I rate a film that I don't even believe exists? "Time and Again", the beloved novel from the 1970's by Jack Finney, was never made into a movie, despite a number of ill-fated attempts over the years. The latest I saw was to be directed by Doug Liman after he finished the Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt sci-fi film; before that, it was Robert Redford. There was even talk at one time of Spielberg being involved. At one point, there was even thought of it being a Broadway show. "Time and Again" is one of my favorite books that I have read a number of times. I would love to see a movie of it; I just wish that it actually existed at this "time".

eb999 I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I didn't have any high expectations, but I'm fascinated by time travel and will watch anything built around it. This script was really interesting especially in using the idea of parallel universes, but I kept thinking how much better the movie would have been if more had been done with it. I figure that a lot of this had to do with budget. Stripped down scenes (i.e. the whole original accident scenario being condensed into one talk between Anne and her psychiatrist) could have been fleshed out and shown on screen. Also, It bugged me that "Anne" seemed to always be wearing the same, or very similar clothing and that her hairstyle never changed. Again I put this down to budget, but it was noticeable.Brooke Burns was quite good but some of the other actors were marginal. The woman playing her psychiatrist was unconvincing and the couple owning the bed and breakfast seemed a bit corny. Although the "simple" young man acted okay, his role was never explained effectively.I think this script was good enough to have been made into a feature with a few tweaks and a topnotch production team behind it. Some of the plot twists were obviously telegraphed (Susan being dead in the second scenario) and could have been more delicately handled. Also, I think the child predator story line was really lame.But overall, there was a strong structure to the plot and the ending was satisfying. Maybe, it will be made again with everything just a little better. I'd be happy to see it.

noelle1000 ***SPOILER*** OK...the ending was "feel good"...but it really made no sense. If the music box changed things every time it was opened...and she decided to destroy it to stop the changes...then theoretically the "time stamp" should have put her back to when she first opened the box. Instead, she is placed 6+ months before that to the exact time when she could prevent her family from getting into a fatal accident. Why that exact time?And, try to wrap your head around this, if it puts her back at that exact moment...then her aunt hasn't died yet and she hasn't inherited the house yet and hasn't discovered the box yet. I cant take it!!!! hmmmm I smell a paradoxAnd I TOTALLY agree with comment #1. A total Forest Gump wannabe. At least he didn't talk about "his momma"

wreck_beach It is a nervous and exciting thing to see a film on the screen in a space so familiar to your life as your own house. I grew up in "the crazy aunt's" house in this movie. It was surprising to see how the floor plan of the house as it was in the movie changed from the way it actually is in real life. People would run through doorways and come into "the next room" only to be somewhere completely different, or they would come running down a stair case from a room that wouldn't make sense with where they had supposedly come from. Ahhh the magic of film huh? As for the movie itself, I give it a high 6 to a 7 out of 10. It was better than I expected overall, however its always hard to get good acting out of a child and some of the lines seemed a little rough/weak either in their delivery or just in the dialogue. Its one that definitely does make you think. The plot is good but the character development would need a lot of work to turn this one into a theatre production. Besides, its only 1.5 hours--clearly made for TV.
