I saw this movie yesterday. My review: I really enjoyed it, being a fan of time travel fiction. However, it was rather juvenile and required overlooking quite a bit of silly acting in the beginning (Oh! Times were so innocent!) And Guy Pearce went overboard on the absent-minded professor bit.
But it was fun!

I'm thinking about taking that movie in myself. I enjoyed the original and the clips from the movie made it look as though it was the type of movie I like.
That time travel thing would be a kick wouldn't it? Imagine going back in time, well I think I might warn myself about this witness thing. Oh the troubles I'd avoid

Darn, Patio! I wish you lived closer...we could be movie buddies! You seem to go see all of the ones I want to, but I don't really enjoy going alone all the time.
Thanks for the review; my son is after me to take him to see this one.

LB, LOL about warning ourselves about the JW thing! I never thought about that!
Dana, that would be great! I take an art class and often go with another one of the students after the Saturday afternoon class.

Imagine, you could warn yourself about all kinds of stupid things. The first wife comes to mind. Telling my boss to fuck off is another. I shouldn't have waited so long.
But, I haven't listened to anyone yet, no reason to think I'd listen to myself.

One may not even recognize the older version of self, or be SO depressed at what they turned out like!
However, in Back to the Future, it's stated you can't run into yourself--it's a paradox. Who knew there could be rules in a fantasy?

We checked the movie out tonight. It's different than the original, which I loved, and it's good. Lots of excitment and the special effects are up to date of course.
If ya like HG Wells, you'll love the movie.
