Thoughts on Timecrimes

Sunday, November 28, 2010 10:47 AM By Simon

-A man (Karra Elejalde) sees a woman lifting her shirt in the woods from his lawn, and, going to investigate, finds himself amid a time-travel loop which leads to a causeless crime.

-This. Movie. Is. The. Shit.

-It's so fucking cool. Best time travel movie ever (better than Donnie Darko, better than 'Looper' probably will be, better than all of them).

-Touches on paradoxes (several, in fact, though only one is addressed), the event of a crime without a cause, government conspiracies, all from one man's point of view (that he only cares to go home to his wife)...fascinating stuff.

-The protaganist is the stupidest dick on the face of the planet, though. To really highlight his idiocracy, I'd have to spoil the movie, which I feel is a terrible, terrible thing to do, but if you found his raging assholery so offensive you have to scream about it, the comments are always open.

You are correct, this movie is The Shit! Definitely one of my favorite time travel movies, though I found the main character really unlikable and that diminished my enjoyment a little bit.

Agreed, "Timecrimes" was pretty darn awesome.

even if I hadn't read you review, I would want to watch it purely because it is called Timecrimes

This has been on my queue for the LONGEST time. I guess I can finally kick it back to #1.

Alex: He was a bit of a dick, wasn't he?

Atroxian: Indeed.

Sugary: The Spanish title is even more badass, "Los Cronocrímenes".

Ryan: Hells yeah!
