Ratings and reviews

I actually watched the director's cut of DD first and then went back and watched the original. I prefer the directors cut because it explains a lot more of the movie. I was actually thought that the original version wasn't as polished. This is one of those movies where watching it a few times is a good thing. You'll pick up new things each time.

This movie so impressed me that I watched it again the next day. It's one of those you understand more after second time.

A very original time travel story that will twist and turn so much you will want to watch it again and again
