Curvature

Seems a bit of snobbery in the reviews here about how much they understand the ins and ours of time travel, therefore it's an Amazing film. well, you don't, you would understand the paradoxical levels in this film are implausible. That aside, it IS a movie, it's there to be enjoyed and not scrutinised for everything that is fact, not fiction. personally I enjoyed the film, though there are loopholes and giant cracks of sci fact, not sci fi, the premise is quite original. I would watch again, it won't win any Oscars or pull up any trees in the advancement of cinema, but it's an enjoyable and thought provoking piece

While grieving the death of her husband Wells (Noah Bean), who committed suicide, Helen (Lyndsy Fonseca) meets his partner Tomas (Glenn Morshower) that asks her blessing to proceed running their company. Helen returns to her work and out of the blue, she has a blackout for several days. She wakes up at home and receives a phone call from herself warning that a man is coming in a BMW to kill her. She flees and goes to the house of her friend Alex (Zach Avery) to ask for help. They head to an isolated cabin that belonged to Helen´s father and soon Helen learns that she had sent herself to the past using a time machine invented by Wells to stop herself from committing a murder.

"Curvature" is a low-budget sci-fi film with a promising premise, reasonable development and a senseless commercial conclusion. The screenplay is intriguing but could have been better written since there are scenes absolutely ridiculous that should have been improved. Helen overturns Alex´s truck on the road and nobody comes to see or help. Helen, Alex and Kravitz fight in a hotel room and nobody comes to investigate what is happening. The cameo of Linda Hamilton is deceptive for her fans. The senseless conclusion with Helen receiving a correspondence with a flash memory is terrible. But in general the film is not bad and works on the video. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Zach Avery's acting was like a cancer to this movie. Every time he was on screen it died a little more. Good god, how did he make it past the auditions?

Lyndsy Fonseca did a fine job with the sub-par lines and direction, so it may have been an fun, but throw-away average movie if it wasn't for Zach Screen Cancer Avery who did his best version of Lenny von Dohlen's "Miles" from Electric Dreams (circa 1984).

It's so bad, in fact, that it has prompted this, my first IMDB review.

Avoid.

Being into time travel movies I decided to give this one a go despite the number of bad reviews here. I was not disappointed. Yes, it's a low budget movie, there are no fantastic special effects and some of the acting is below par - but once the story grabs you it doesn't let go til the end credits roll. Not the best film I have seen this year but interesting enough to make me want to watch it to the end. And despite what other reviewers have said, the ending does make sense but only if you use your brain.

If you're planning watching this one you can't be too picky. Linda Hamilton "the big name of this movie" is just poster filling and only appears a couple minutes, Zach Avery on the other hand has a bigger role and is annoying to watch. To me he's basically a mediocre actor, at least in this movie where his bad acting shows. Not the whole cast is bad but there are for sure no future Oscar winners here. The story itself is a bit complicated to follow and is a bit far fetched even for a sci-fi. I can't say I really enjoyed this one, just sat through the story waiting for it to end.
