Diane says: "This Spanish pic (Nacho Vigalondo, director), still rumored to be up for a remake by David Cronenberg, is a low-budget horror/time-travel puzzle. Set-up got my interest, midpoint I was thinking, "This is a pretty silly movie," but last quarter engaged me again. Main actor a nice choice: a regular middle-aged guy calmly trying to sort out more than one reality against the clock. Was concurring with reviews that disparage Vigalondo's acting (playing a researcher in a time-travel laboratory--the number two spot out of just four actors), but now thinking maybe he was playing a character who was a bad actor.... 3 cats.

"Vigalondo directed and starred in the 2005 O****-nom'ed short, "7:35 IN THE MORNING " which is worth a viewing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTrT-gS_C3M"

 
Barbara says: "I am not a sci-fi fan per se but I found this film enjoyable.  However, I am still trying to figure out of it was supposed to be part true sci-fi thriller and part spoof on earlier sci-fi films which might have added to my enjoyment.  3 cats"
