My only beef with the movie was your beef. If criminals have access to time travel, they would be using it to do a hell of a lot more than what they were in this movie. I think TimeCop did a better job of illustrating what would happen in that regard than this movie. Still, the time travel is just a plot device for this movie, not the actual plot.

Overall, very well made. The best parts of the movie are what you can see from the world created that aren't mentioned or made part of the plot (rich people non-chalantly killing the poor in the street). JGL did a great job, and if they want to re-boot Die Hard with him as John McClane, I say go for it. Too many twists and turns to go into detail, but good sci-fi that actually was sci-fi, not an action movie posing as sci-fi.

That said, I see this getting bad word of mouth. A lot of the TV ads are trying to make it look like another Willis action movie. While there is some good action, it is far from that in just about every regard. Joe Public will go on thinking it's one thing, and when they get what it truly is, they will hate it and trash it to their friends. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I see happening.

I think it was implied and totally plausible. Why else would he keep a fuckup around like that? His face reflected that he regretted breaking his hand...

Well, since you went there, my biggest gripe about the ending was:

My complaint is that I felt it slowed down quite a bit and got a bit boring half way in to establish Sara and Cid. I enjoyed the rest of the near future world and time travel stuff far, far more, and I agree that I would have loved to see a much longer montage of young Joe growing old. That was my favorite part of the movie and would have loved to see more of this world.

This, and the double-reboot of the sendback still have my head scratching. I will likely see this again.

Also, the scene where Dano's future self sees the changes made to his body is one of the coldest, most frightening things I have seen in any film in a very, very long time.

The little kid gave me the creeps, too. By the ending that was gone but for the first 30+ minutes... chilling.

The injury on the fuck up, if it was him, would have broken Daniel's own hand. If it were Daniels then he would have also had matching limps.

They'd already showed you consequences of injury to the young selfs in

Really enjoyed this. I'm actually surprised that the movie seems a little smaller scale then I initially thought. Also in this day and age, it's great to see a plot point not be spoiled in the trailers and/or marketing. Had no idea that telekinesis would even be a factor in this movie. Loved the Bruce Willis montage and it's the best acting he's done in a long time. Surprised that Bruce Willis actually becomes the bad guy during the course of the movie. I would've loved a sneak into the future at the end but I'm not angry because they chose not to show it. Great movie!

Yeah, I disagree, I tend to skim reviews to see how well received a movie is. Generally spoilers are marked as spoilers.

Discussion threads on the other hand, yeah I get that.

Yeah but it's not like Daniels mutilated him like they did with Dano's character. It could totally still be plausible that Kid Blue is Abe.

I think they can fix limps by 2075 especially since he was a rich mob boss..

I don't think you understand how it works. He would only be injuring his younger self. It will have healed by the time he is older and travels back in time. Only when JGL permanently scars himself does Willis' body change. It's not like if JGL punches Willis he feels the punch himself.

Would have been a cool scene to have Willis kill him and watch Jeff Daniels disappear.
