I literally gave up the movie songs 20 minutes in when Morgan Freeman said "10%" but i did spend another half an hour skipping to try and understand what Benson was trying to say.
since the first scene, it's clearly a philosophical movie. and the second one sets the tone for the action and timing. but the attempted science in it is completely intolerable and unreliable. it ruins the whole experience.
there is, still and indeed, an interesting philosophical question about the meaning of life. i say question because the movie does claim to answer it but it actually barely scratches any real answer. it's just spoiled beliefs around what's time and life.
reason i give it 0 stars is because of wasted resources. so much potential thrown away. if you want a good action philosophy, try Matrix or Deadpool. there aren't that many action movies that can do philosophy... but this one just hit a hard rock bottom!

the reason this flick gets such a low average rating is probably because the story is very weak. a dead horse beaten to death repeatedly. way too much covered by mainstream movies.
meanwhile, almost everything else is flawlessly done here. okay, maybe not the best performance by all actors, but this doesn't really impact how we can enjoy watching it.
good timing, chemistry, jokes, bashing pseudoscience, you're never hanging in a single moment even while you can always know what's going to happen in the "plot" (if you can call this a plot).
in short: a brainless laying back experience and, perhaps above all, both a quite realistic and uplifting optimistic romance. touching indeed.

Not sure why I rated this 7 when I first watched it, about 6 or 5 years ago. This is now the first movie I'm rating according to this brand new movie rating scale I just made precisely because I wanted to properly rate this flick - and it's a definite IMDb 10 for me, even while not perfect.
I think the ending was a bit (spoilers) and there was this (spoilers) near the ending, which could have been better stitched. Other than that, all I know about the movie is what I read in the one review quoted below and here are my many kudos to Stevie Long! Really a piece of art. :smile:
