Synopsis: An engineer is hired for a top-secret project, but after years on the job he wakes one morning to find the government on his trail and all the memories of his work erased by his employer.
.. Not a bad movie. Have to give it out of 5.
I wasn't too happy with casting Uma Thurman. First off I don't think she's pretty at all. Sexy as a dried up apple. Come on Ben is a good looking guy cast his equal!!
I liked the story and the effects were decent. The acting.. well a couple of scenes were right out of High School drama. The editing was fair. I caught a couple of mistakes. The stupid stuff is what annoyed me. If you haven't seen this then don't read anymore!!!
Okay so he see's the future and takes steps to stop it. Nowhere do they show you or tell you how he was able to know the details of the specific times, places, etc. How was he able to get copies of those newspapers?? And wouldn't the future change each time he got away with his special little things in the envelope?? I don't know it wasn't very desciptive on how the machine worked or what could be seen. Silly really.
Great idea, great concept but just poor show making I guess. I wonder if the book is more descriptive in i's workings.
Oh well.
