This movie was SyFy made-for-TV kind of bad!


Okay... I am a huge fan of Miyazaki's films Spirted Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc. I don't consider myself an anime fanatic by any means... though I did also enjoy Noein: To Your Other Self (look it up... fantastic deep plot). So I thought, hey I will give this a try... the animation didn't look bad, but dear god... this thing had so many plot holes and weird inconsistencies... It's like the entire plot was written by a 10 year old... and not a very bright 10 year old at that... I keep thinking... so is there a point to all this?! The answer no... If these people had the power to go anywhere in time, why not go back and prevent the massacre that lead to the escalated hostility between the two people in the first place. I get that the internal logic in fictional works doesn't necessarily match up to our real world expectations, but the writers were not even consistent with the world they were depicting.

Anyway, do yourself a favor and SKIP THIS FILM! It is not worth your time... As I said in my subject line, it even worse than a really, really bad made-for-TV movie produced by the SyFy channel.

Who said they have that power?

It wasn't a time travel movie. It was a hero's destiny movie.

Let's be bad guys.
