Love the cast. Love the concept.

...But I worry that it's a big idea that will be hard to execute (no pun intended) well.

I'm definitely seeing it, though.

I'm a sucker for any sci-fi, but this looks especially good. Even though I'm very worn out on the whole time-travel genre.

I saw this tonight at a special screening. Wow! It was incredibly well done. The script was intelligent, the acting superb, and the character arcs especially stood out as spectacular. A must see indeed!

Trust me, the time travel was executed very well.

This will get you excited about time travel again.

yeah this was a pretty damn good movie.

Bruce Willis was fantastic. Willis could be 100 years old and he would still be a Bad A$$!

It was a bit strange but overall a good movie. The kid was a good actor and the look on Willis's face after he took care of the first kid.....I can't imagine.

I couldn't get over the makeup job on JGL to make him look like a young Bruce. It reminded me of the eyebrows of a bad guy from one of my kids shows (Lazy Town). It was disturbing.

Liked it!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt so so so hot, but it was very distracting to see him in his Bruce Willis face.

Agreed. Time travel is hard to pull off. They did it well.
