Stupid, stupid, stupid. All the people who like this movie demonstrate their stupidity by suggesting that it's good. Characters overreacted to small stuff and underreact to huge stuff. There's actually a scene where a guy suggests that he should go and murder some people and nobody seems to be bothered by that. "My brother is a physicist he said not to go outside when there's a comet outside because it will create quantum entanglement paradoxes derrrrrrrrrrr".

This movie had an excellent premise, and throughout most of it, it absolutely delivered. It was tense, spooky, even managing to be funny now and then. Some have commented that the shaky camera work detracts from your enjoyment of the film. I find that it helps to put you in the right frame of mind. This is a group of every-day people going through a completely bizarre and inexpiable incident. The only problem I have with this movie is the ending. I think it could have had a bit more of a punch. Or, given the "Twilight Zone" feel of the movie, a nice twist would not have gone unappreciated. All that being said, I did enjoy it, and would recommend it to friends. Who knows, maybe I already have.

Great sci fi- and kind of a old idea wrapped creatively in an new one. At first I thought it would be a typical parallel universe "thing" but merged into some interesting plot developments that were unexpected and surreal. Some of the panic of the film felt apocalyptic at times and was along the same spirit of "Primer". (just not as confusing as Primer, and didn't required any online tutorial diagrams to help you figure out the film). I understand what people are saying about the frenzied characters, but I think the movie is just trying to portray the "realness" of life as you walk through time. I actually think it adds to the suspense and the puzzle throughout that implies the simplest moments define who you are and what you are going to be.
