Needle in a Timestack

The thing that impressed me the most is how realistic the future technology is. Very creepy in a Black Mirror way. It was a little slow, but NO WAY is it a 3.3 which is what the score is as I am writing this. I think that most people may see this as a love story, and this is how it seems at the beginning. But my interpretation of this movie is that technology is the antagonist here. No one can just live their life without someone interfering, and even though the message appears to be love will find a way in any circumstance, I see the real message is that technology that interferes by rewriting our past can cause a lot of pain and sorrow.

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.

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.

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.

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.
