Evan Treborn grows up in a small town with his single, working mother and his friends. He suffers from memory blackouts where he suddenly finds himself somewhere else, confused. Evan’s friends and mother hardly believe him, thinking he makes it up just to get out of trouble. As Evan grows up he has less of these blackouts until he seems to have recovered. Since the age of seven he has written a diary of his blackout moments so he can remember what happens. One day at college he starts to read one of his old diaries, and suddenly a flashback hits him like a brick! —IMDb

I'm shocked just how much praise people give this. It's technically unsound and the performances were nothing less than disappointing.

How I hate this move...let me count the ways...a friend of mine told me it was his favorite movie ever and a triumph. I saw it and completely disagreed on every level with him. What he sees in it, I won't ever and don't ever wanna know. It fails on every level. The science fiction element is implausible, the performances are crap, the storyline is laughable, etc. Overall, fuck this movie.

This is a WATCH ONE TIME movie. I was floored in middle school when I watched it for the first time and was so intrigued. A year later I tried to get that appericiation back, but the second time around it seemed tacky and melodramatic.

True! I was really amazed the first time I watched it. It's a good concept, after all. However, the second time I watched it, it was too messy; lots of loopholes.
