L'uomo dal futuro

This was first Brazilian movie I ever watched, thanks to HBO.

Movie is quite interesting, showing us another perception of time traveling but thing that i like the most in this movie is the music. Especially main song that became one of my most favorite songs in all (btw, originally, song is called "Tempo Perdido" by Legião Urbana.

After this movie I started to watch more movies and series from Brazil. I have to admit that i like almost all of them.

Advice to all, try watching also Argentinian movies as well as Spanish.Of course, Emir Kusturica's movies, too. Maybe people that used to watch Hollywood movies will not be able to see their quality from first watching but it worth to try.

And I almost forgot one thing, Alinne Moraes is so pretty.

I'm unsure whether I give non-English language movies more credit than if they were in my own language. But I can say that I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to fans of time travel movies and light hearted sci fi.

The film "The Man from the Future" (or "O Homem do Futuro" in original) has made very vivid and bright impression on me. I am proudly giving this film rare 10 points of 10 ! The reasons are described below.

First of all, the film is about love. About loud, bright and sometimes even furious love. The film does not show snot, it does not show vulgarity or nudity, no violence. The film shows just real emotions.

Secondly and thirdly, the plot, the scenario is very great and here you will see not only the complicated and tricky story line, but also realistic effects of time travel. Just like in the classic "Back to The Future" trilogy, where characters disappear in future when their past has been changed. I would say that this film is a good example of classic "Science Fiction" genre.

The play of the actors is very good and realistic.

The soundtrack is great.

The film has a happy end, leaving only the positive associations in the memory in the head. It is very important for qualitative films.

If you like time travel and bright emotions, then this film is for you.

The only strange moment is the "popularity" of the film in the modern world. I wonder, why it has not yet been officially released in many countries. I hope, this mistake will be corrected in the future.

In this film you will face a different and passionate story about time traveling, with an unexpected ending. The music is brilliantly joined and the actors are good enough to empathize with them and enjoy the story. Although sometimes you don't have time to read subtitles, it is very well made Brazilian film, I recommend it to see with your loving mate (and available in Netflix by the way).

In 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, the brilliant scientist and physics professor João "Zero" Henrique (Wagner Moura) is researching an alternative source of power through the use of a particle accelerator device that he has designed. His wealthy friend Sandra (Maria Luísa Mendonça) has sponsored his research and his best friend Otávio (Fernando Ceylão) has helped him with the engineering. However, Zero has been a bitter and frustrated man for twenty years since he was humiliated in public by his sweetheart Helena (Alinne Moraes), who has become a famous top-model managed by her former boyfriend Ricardo (Gabriel Braga Nunes).

One day, Zero decides to test his particle accelerator and he accidentally travels to the past, more precisely to 22 November 1991, the day that changed his life with the embarrassment in public. However, Zero decides to fix his past and he tells to the teenager João Henrique what Helena would do with him. Further, he gives economical tips to João Henrique and Otávio to make them earn lots of money. When Zero returns to 2011, he finds the present totally changed in an alternative reality and he does not like what he sees. He decides to travel to 1991 again, to put the past back on trail, but now the situation is more complicated.

"O Homem do Futuro" is one of the best Brazilian films that I have recently seen and I have really loved this film. The story is a romantic comedy combined with sci-fi that uses the storyline of "The Butterfly Effect", with a man traveling to the past expecting to fix the future, but making things worse instead.

Wagner Moura proves that is a versatile actor, performing three different roles. Alinne Moraes is very beautiful and shows a great chemistry with Wagner Moura.

"O Homem do Futuro" follows the style of American movies, with top-notch special effects, but the delightful story will certainly be a wonderful entertainment for the family and friends. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "O Homem do Futuro" ("The Man from the Future")

Note: I saw this movie again on 06 Sep 2013.
