Agulha no Palheiro Temporal

This movie is before all a love story. A touching one. One that you can relate probably after you pass some age.

I liked the line "every love story changes the life lines of many people". This was the idea of the movie. It's unsettling. I also prefer to believe love is unique for everyone. That we all have a soul mate. But we may as well have more than one. Maybe one is more optimal than the other, maybe one is "a bigger love", maybe not. I don't know. Nobody knows. But we all know there is life after love and that life sometimes continues with another love.

So I think this is what the movie is exploting. Is it a good sci fi? Of course not. But it's a good love story. It's well executed. I like that it's slow and gentle. It has its own style and proper pace. I scrolled some of the slower moments, but as a whole, I think it's a good thing to watch. It poses interesting questions. The actors are good. The music is good. I like it. Maybe it's not for everyone, but to me, it has its charm.

Excellent adaptation of the Silverberg original. Be prepared to leave this movie in the same way Silverberg leave you as a reader for many of his stories. Which is to say the direction and production has done its job well.

A pretty authentic movie in which time travel is an every-day thing and anything can change if it's misused. Sure the movie is maybe too slow, but it's still pretty interesting. There is a character development and switching between alternative timelines (living through different outcomes), yet the main focus is on the drama and romance itself. It's not a 3~/10 movie, give it a shot. Clearly something different and refreshing than copy paste like most movies with same plot lines nowadays.

Time travel is happening. The rich are doing it. Whenever a time shift happens, everybody scrambles to check for personal changes before they lose their memory of the previous time line. Nick Mikkelsen (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Janine (Cynthia Erivo) are happily married. He is worried that her first husband Tommy Hambleton (Orlando Bloom) is trying to use time travel to eliminate their relationship. That's exactly what happens and he finds that he's married to his long-time girlfriend Alex Leslie (Freida Pinto).

This is an intriguing Twilight Zone premise. The film does need to use that premise in a compelling story. While I'm fascinating with the world-building, the movie fails to construct the story around it. It's like there's a great foundation but the building is not much more than a box. This is almost two hours but it's really only doing the first act. I wonder if the short story is worth a shorter flick. Maybe the story needs expanding.

I swear I dont know why ANYBODY has scored this below a 5. ( I do really) Yet some streaming platform drivel with huge plot holes, awful acting, that looks like its filmed on a camcorder from the 90s can score 8!!...That Genuinely puzzles me.

This film is a beautifully made and very well acted love story..And in a couple of scenes I really believed the love was real.

Its a love story between a man and a woman then a man and his best friend with a tiny bit of sci-fi thrown in.. but the over arching questions I took from it were.. Would destiny take over from time travel?

& What would you sacrifice to make to make people you love happy?

The world today is full of selfish people, you know the ones, you have seen the reviews on this very platform.. Always telling you what you're allowed to think or say but only they have freedom of speech.

Probably the epitome of selfishness..Taking away your ability to think freely.

Which leads me to why this excellent film scores o low... We see it in a lot of the reviews on here..scoring a very well made film a 1 because they dont like an actor in it, not thinking about all the people connected to that production or how well its actually made.. YOU may not like it for political or personal reasons but it doesnt warrant a score of 1. I watch lots of rubbish I really this is political broadcast... but I dont score it a 1 because in the old days the best rose to the top..sadly now people try to push the best to the bottom. A very new phenomenon.

For whatever the reasons that people score this low, what I can absolutely say about this beautiful love story is that it had me a 50 yr old martial arts, tough guy, zombie apocalypse movie loving guy like me actually choke up.

Its kinda like spotless mind in reverse...Kinda.

If you deep down love a good love story then sit back and enjoy.

If youre expecting back to the future part 3, then go watch it...This isnt for you.

An easy 7.5/10.
