Ah, the old "If you don't like something that I do, then you must be too stupid to understand it" type drivel...
In actual fact, this movie was neither intelligent nor in any real sense 'good'. It was a lot smarter than many science-fiction movies, true, but being taller than a midget doesn't necessarily make you a giant, and this movie was too slow, took far to long to do the little it did do, and didn't give us anything to think about that other time-travel related movies hadn't already done.
I mean for example, as soon as Erol decided to give up time travel, for the sake of his unborn child, who in the audience didn't at once guess that in this predictable and unimaginative banality that Grace would lose the child?
It felt like the director had lost the last two thirds of the script, and just said "Never mind, let's film the first third, and stretch it out over ninety minutes". The plot, such as it was, wouldn't sustain a short story, let alone a novel.
