funny sci-fi

Two new sci-fi films in 2009 disappointed me, one was "Moon" and the other was this film. The reason for holding out great hope is that I saw them being held up to the sky, but when I saw them with my own eyes, I found that they were quite lacking in novelty. In addition, if "Moon" lacks depth, what "About" lacks is the logical presentation and explanation of the state of time travel, and the whole story just revolves around funny ideas. Therefore, rather than saying that this film is "non-mainstream" as a science fiction film, it is better to say that this film is a failure as a funny film.
I may belong to the kind of more traditional sci-fi movie viewers who always hope to give me a main thread that can finally be connected in the process of time travel, even if it is like "Star Trek 11", at least it can keep me watching After finishing, clear your mind. The reason why I like "Back to the Future 2" so much is that although the whole film has four time periods and three different timelines, no matter how long I watch it, even if I don't rewatch it again, I can follow the timeline to make the whole film effortless. recalled.
But this film left me speechless. The crossing of the two toilets is not only irregular, but also very nonsensical in terms of plot. I thought that the girl who repaired the crack in time could play a big role, but in fact, it was of no use, and could only be used as a time reference point. It is estimated that her greatest role is to use "promotion" from time to time to humorously.
In addition, since the three people did not dare to meet the self of the same period in order to avoid the butterfly effect, is it a feasible solution for the three people to fill the gap after the self of the previous period entered the space-time crack? Is such a closed passage similar to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban? In fact, the final solution - destroying the paper (annoyed that he didn't tell me what was written on the paper in the end) resulted in the reversal of time (shown in the film) or the disappearance of parallel timelines ? ...
This film is really not worth scrutinizing, because it is not intended to be watched seriously at all. What's even more helpful is that none of the three are funny, and even the male lead is far less cute than his character in "Pirate Radio". As for the ending of the film, it seems that there are plans to make a sequel. The only thing that excites me is that the prelude to the ending music turned out to be the main theme of "God of Gamblers"! Is the director obsessed with Hong Kong films or does this melody come from another source? Hope someone can give me some pointers.

  • Ray: Chaos theory is basically the idea that tiny things can have huge consequences. So because you delayed me from going through there, all of the little things that I was going to do have been delayed subsequently, and that has a knock-on effect - which can totally change the future.
