Nuestros tiempos

Our Times starts with a refreshingly original sci fi concept set in 1960s Mexico. The story blends nostalgia, time travel, and a couple's scientific ambition into an engaging and emotional setup. It draws you in with warmth, humor, and a sense of wonder.

The film stands out for its visuals and tone. There is charm in the details, chemistry between the leads, and genuine interest in how the story will unfold.

However, as the plot develops, the movie shifts focus. What begins as a touching sci fi journey slowly turns into a strong social message. While some may welcome this feminist angle, others might find it feels out of place and too direct. The balance between story and message is not always smooth.

Instead of letting themes unfold naturally through the characters and plot, the film becomes more focused on making a point. This shift weakens the emotional impact and leaves the science fiction aspect underused.

It's a fun film. Not groundbreaking, but it still manages to cause some excitement, laughs, and moments of thoughtfulness .

The cinematography is quite great, and there's a lot of effort behind this production. The sets and decoration are fantastic. The wardrobe very well crafted.

The acting is quite on par with the main actors abilities, Mexican icons in their own rights. And the rest of the talent does not fall behind.

The script is basic, don't expect a deep story. If you go in without much expectations, you'll get pleasantly surprised.

If you're looking for a fun watch with a message, this is it!

The acting was both bad and very cliché. Besides, it was obvious that there was no chemistry between the actors. It was a shame because the subject was not bad, especially the transformation of gender relations, women's rights, gender equality, etc.

The holes in the script are also among the unnecessary flaws. The childishness in the technological and theoretical explanations is perhaps tolerable, but I'm not sure if the ridicules of the 'time machine' operation was necessary. Still, it's a watchable film for those who want to see an example of modern Mexican cinema. I hope we can see new, more mature examples of Mexican cinema.

Lucero and Benny Ibarra are two familiar faces from national cinema, but this film is clearly their worst work and version to date. I saw it yesterday, and from the moment I started, I realized it was another TV soap opera turned into a movie.

Mexican cinema is going through its worst moment, and I think this type of film is proving it.

Repetitive plots, recycled characters, extreme feminism, bad scenes and, above all, bad acting make this film one of the worst I've seen this year.

The most complicated aspect was that they stole things from "Back to the Future," and I don't know why they made it seem so splendid or as if they were the greatest geniuses in this type of film. I think it could have been better, but they took the easy way out and went for the typical scenes of modern Mexican cinema.

This is a thought-provoking sci-fi romance that uses time travel and gender roles to highlight how the most impactful societal changes are not technological, but social. The film pushes some boundaries in this regard and encourages viewers to reflect on how the world has changed-and continues to change-and how those changes are experienced by different people.

Some viewers have pointed out plot holes, but this movie isn't meant to be taken too literally. While certain inconsistencies are hard to ignore, they don't significantly affect the narrative. For example, it's hardly essential to worry about how time travelers from the past managed to buy train tickets-we can simply assume they rode without one, if that's easier.

The acting is solid throughout and suits the characters well. These are scientists-not eccentric inventors like Doc Brown in Back to the Future-but more grounded portrayals of physicists. They're realistic people with personal lives beyond the lab, holding both liberal and conservative views in different areas. And yes, they have romantic relationships too.

Overall, I enjoyed this film. It never felt boring, and the story moved steadily forward, with twists that weren't exactly surprising, but felt inevitable in a satisfying way. Some viewers may feel uncomfortable, while others may feel seen-but in the end, the film delivers a powerful message and explores timely, relevant issues. It's hard to argue with the underlying truths, even when they're wrapped in fiction.
