It's called fantasy, guys!

C'mon, all you technophiles! If you could do better, you would. This was a fun movie where you were not supposed to apply all of the physics you learned (or could remember) from school. I only had one glaring issue that I was willing to put aside for the spirit of the movie. I'm not even going to give you any more fodder to hate this movie, so I'm keeping it to myself.

I liked it. I didn't love it and I'm not going to go to the "ends of the earth" (hahaha) to defend it but I liked it, I enjoyed it for what it was.

I just think the writer and production staff need all the encouragement we can muster. I love parallel and alternative universes.

My favorite was "The Adjustment Bureau" and I liked "In Time" w/ Justin Timberlake. and most recently (for me) was "Mr. Nobody" There really needs to be more and more movies like these.

I thank the production company for opening up new possibilities and not being afraid to venture out.

I'm a bit late to the party but I agree with you. It was an entertaining what if sci-fi fantasy. A solid 7/10 as I think a 6/10 or less is a bit harsh. I think it's current rating at time of writing of 6.7 is on the button.

The movie was fabulous. Very surreal. Great music. Great story telling. Excellent directing and acting. Very original, refreshing and imaginative.

Agreed. If you want a documentary, look up National Geographic. This was a beautiful fairy tale! (And, if you're interested.. Run to your local Dollar Tree! I found my copy on Blu-Ray.. For a buck!)

This was a beautiful fairy tale!

A fairy tale. Good analogy!

And like fairy tales, the moral of this story pertained to interracial marriage and the adjustments such couples have to make with each person having one foot in a different world.

Even fantasies have to have some logic, the problem is not the physics as it is physically impossible.

The problem is with their logic that they themselves try to explain in the movie, surely she and he are inverse matter to each other and touching one another would cause them both to burn, this has nothing to do with real physics but their own "logic" or rules explained in the movie.
