<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>That movie was just wrong. It was the most pointless waste of movie I have ever seen. Really really freaky and had a lot of good actors in it. Don't know why they agreed to do a movie as bad as this.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>Wow, and there I thought it was very good. What shall I do with the copy I bought of it a few years back?</div>

Depends on how you look at it...

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>I have been known to be wrong before. Personally it was really freaky and I didn't see the point. It was interesting to follow, but ended very inconclusively. I guess that's what the directors intent was. What do I know though.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Like, Sine, I also believe you to be full of shit. That's one of my favorite movies. Watch it again</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>No, it's not like that, because where Old Zeus' opinion in that instance would be wrong, Sine's opinion here is right.</div>

It wasn't inconclusive

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>I thought that part was supposed to be ironic that one of the people that were on the board of the prison trying to stop it, actually met this guy and didn't know what he was up to.</div>

You just knocked one of my favorite movies

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I really liked that movie, I'd say it's in my top 20 favorite picks. Again, I'm going to have toagree with some of the advice that was given, watch it again, maybe even a third time, many people don't catch what's going on the first time around and therefore don't enjoy it. I saw it in theatre's twice, and it was always a favorite pick for parties back when I was in Highschool. I'd describe it as a classic, not unlike the other two movies you've mentioned above, probably the best of the three.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>They only used prisoners for time travel throughout the movie. I think they considered it too dangerous for the "important" people, so they used the prisoners on guinae pigs. That's what I think though... could be wrong.</div>

Yeah, but

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>They had managed to perfect it with Bruce Willis. Remember that they got John Leguizamo (can't remember his character's name) to the exact time Bruce's character was in the airport, so they could have easily have done it with the woman by then.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>So they were testing with the other prisoners trying to calibrate the time machine so they could land a person where they wanted to instead of a random time. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, John Leguizamo got to him right after he left that message from the pay-phone. Makes a lot more sense like that.</div>

The amount of excess on the drug use is funny. And about half of the dialogue could be in the "Memorable Quotes" section of IMDb.</div>
