Retour vers le passé

Great story line with well written characters. Cinematography is spot on. I wish there were a sequel. Loved seeing Bruce Davidson in his gritty roll. The whole idea of time jumping has appealed to me since I first saw SlaughterHouse 5. This film compares favorably in how the time jump is portrayed.

I read a review saying this was the bees knees in a lot more words. It isn't, but a reasonable watch in my opinion. The story is OK, if you like Sci-fi and time travel then Displacement ticks those boxes but it's not pulling up any trees. Timecrimes and Triangle are similar films to this but both are far superior. Although logic gets thrown out the window when watching most time travel films, you can follow a certain logic to them which comes from the writers/directors having a clear idea of what they are trying to accomplish. For instance, the time-travel logic in Timecrimes was clever and gripping and exciting. Yes you can picks holes but it is still fun to go along with it. In Displacement there is a clear lack of fun and minimal intrigue. It did keep me watching until the end so it has enough intrigue in that respect but it didn't excite me as much as other time travel films I've seen such as Timecrimes and Triangle to name but two. Overall, I would say give it a go as there is a dearth of new time travel films to watch right now, here's hoping that will change soon.

Like many of you that have watched or are considering watching this movie, I'm a time-travel movie fan. Guessing for most of you, the first "Back to the Future" movie is probably one of your favorite movies. Well, I made it through 40 minutes of this time-travel movie and could not continue. The dialogue was horrible which made the directing horrible. Unfortunately, this also contributed to horrible acting as well. The MC was unwatchable. She may very well be a good actress with better material and maybe a better director. The movie tells us there's a displacement in time that can only be fixed by the MC's thesis equation. I could not finish to find out what happens, as the movie was just way too slow and boring! Sorry, but I cannot recommend this time-travel movie.

Boring, corny, bad acting, bad writing, very dated script, would be corny in 1967. Terrible.

I'm a hard core SF fan. I'm a physics buff. This film was such a bad take on quantum theory that I had to ditch it before the end, in order to keep my dinner down.

Setting aside the "science" in "Science Fiction," there really isn't anything new here. post-grad girl's dad steals her thesis notes... Really? The boyfriend is truly a waste of a character (could have been a cardboard cutout), another guy (best friend? boyfriend's friend?) is another waste. Bruce Davison is utterly unbelievable (not is best work by far), and Courtney Hope seems unable to utilize any emotion other than anger, hostility, or panic.

All in all, skip it. You have better things to do with your life than give up nearly two hours of it to this nonsense.
