This movie is pretty savvy to say the least. It's also one of those cases where it merits more than one viewing to fully understand and appreciate what is going on. While the front is a romantic comedy with a Science Fiction touch, the Sci-Fi part is actually a lot bigger than you may think at first. Or maybe you thought about it or read about it already, but whatever the case, experiencing this movie, is a blast to say the least.
We have more time-lines and more jumps than some people will be able to handle or even want to handle. There's a point where things can seem to be too much. And after a couple of twists you may find yourself going "come on". But if you are like me and those other people who loved this, you'll actually be craving for more ... which is something the director is hinting at towards the end ... visually but also in his commentary!

Almost had it.
Whoa, a few misses away from being a near gem. The best way to go into this film is to know absolutely nothing about it, like I did. The film starts off as one thing, then becomes a slightly different but immensely better thing - but then goes overboard and throws the film into eye rolling terrain. But whatever, still an enjoyable experience.
In all it's complexity...this film doesn't really make sense
I enjoyed the movie for the first 45 minutes. After that it was muddled up with authorities bashing the party, so to speak. I see this film as a love story first, but without much emotion. You don't feel the love in this movie like you would others for comparison.
With age progression in three spurts we are shown the interactions between a girl and a boy, but all for experimentation purposes. With both of them coming to the age where most of the movie occurs, we are filled with complex riddles and words which determines our actions, of which these actions are already predetermined beforehand, but you don't become aware of that until later on in the film.
I was left with my final thoughts on this film: It is a stupidly complex film without emotion, supposedly trying to make you think that life and the universe is just a code with all of our thoughts/actions/feelings being predetermined by such code. The love story was dull to say the least and the explanation at the end is missing much.
