Curvature

It's an exciting mystery where there's always something we don't know. At the end, I'm not even sure we got all the answers.

There is one scene that is too long and too depressing, complete with terrible new age music. I was worried the whole movie would be like this because I didn't bother to read the summary.

But then things change drastically, and for the better. First there is more new age music with what I would describe as footage from those science movies we watched in school.

Helen is on the run, and the movie just got more fun. The new age music has changed to what was probably called "space music" in the 60s.

During an exciting car chase, someone got really creative with camera work when a vehicle rolled over. But it's like that Schwarznegger movie where he somehow ended up in the real world and discovered pain for the first time. The characters don't seem to feel pain or get hurt.

Speaking of Schwarznegger, one of his best-known co-stars, Linda Hamilton, plays a college professor. Yes, Helen's a science and math nerd. Too pretty to be one, but when she and Alex start doing complicated math puzzles she gets so excited. Lyndsy Fonseca gives a good performance, going from depressed to frightened to excited. And she shows a lot of determination.

There are serious moral questions. Someone wants revenge and we have an explosion, but I'm not sure why.

There are flashbacks and scenes involving science experiments that I didn't quite understand.

Other than her, I don't know that there's anything special with the acting.

Is it family friendly? As usual for movies like this, the sound goes out and a character's mouth is blurry in many cases. Other than that, I don't know that there's anything to be too concerned about.

I would compare this to a TV-movie or an episode of a TV series, but it's entertaining enough.

Pluses- the mystery and suspense, the sound effects and sound tracking, the camera work, some good thoughtful dialogue and the leads acting which holds together the movie Minuses- some wooden support acting, and the plot doesn't entirely make sense how it ends. Overall, work a watch if you don't mind more amateur indie sci-fi and don't expect too much, but if you expect something Hollywood polished, action driven, special fx driven or mindbendingly crafted, give it a miss.

I love Time Travel movies but this film was a disappointing let down. I was amazed at the good actors( with the exception of Zach Avery), good camera work, good atmosphere and special effects which were wasted on this poor script and poorly paced film. Lyndsy Fonseca, Glenn Morshower, Noah Bean and Alex Lanipekun did the best with what they had to work with. For the life of me I can't see how Zach Avery got an "And Zach Avery" billing in the credits.

If you're planning watching this one you can't be too picky. Linda Hamilton "the big name of this movie" is just poster filling and only appears a couple minutes, Zach Avery on the other hand has a bigger role and is annoying to watch. To me he's basically a mediocre actor, at least in this movie where his bad acting shows. Not the whole cast is bad but there are for sure no future Oscar winners here. The story itself is a bit complicated to follow and is a bit far fetched even for a sci-fi. I can't say I really enjoyed this one, just sat through the story waiting for it to end.

A lot of questions not really answered well, but the movie is ok. But I gotta comment on this since I am a watch guy. That watch she puts in the drawer at the end is an automatic self winding watch which means it's a mechanical watch, not a quartz watch, soooooo what's with the ticking hand? The second hand should be sweeping and their shouldn't be a tick. This detail really annoys me. Because the watch face literally says auto-self winding. So why did you know that and go out of the way to make it tick? Wouldn't you just get another watch or at least take the auto-self winding label off in post production? I may sound like I am nit picking but it's this lack of attention to obvious details that ruins this movie. This is just a glaring example.
