Pretty average, bordering on silly by the end. Acting was good, special effects OK, story started off well and gradually got worse (bordering on laughable) as the film progressed. Shame really, could have been really good.

You think, if you watch a film then need to read up on it understand what it was about..........hmm what can I say without being rude, did mummy tell you you were special ?

Very right. Well said. I did put this point to Cnoevil some weeks ago. Only now really does exist. Chemical & physical reactions take place around & within us but only the moment now exist.Vladimir said:Thompsonuxb said:Unless we discovered how to travel into the future..... *CRAZY*
I personally think there is no such thing as future and past in time. There is only now. Future and past are tricks of the mind considering we are beings who evolved into having memory and predictive modeling in order to survive. There are creatures with none of those and live only in the now.
We are like twigs traveling on a river. Time travel is impossible because the river is never the same at any moment, you can't just move the twig back, you need to carry back the whole river. What machine can control the universe at expanding/contracting? None.
Time completely may not exist at all, just space. It could be a made up evolutionary tool. Just like God.
Vladimir said:Time is our perception of change in space. No change = no time. We are constantly 'time' traveling because we are matter and energy in constant movement. You can't stop and chose a direction, you'd have to stop all the Universe. Our atoms, molecules, electrons etc. are part of the Universe exploding or imploding.
Humans thinking about themeselves as something appart from nature is called anthropocentricity. I presume this is where Thompson's criticism was directed at (sadly by using archaic religious beliefs).
As a simple experiment go and live few months in enviroment where there is no day and night and you'll go mad or come close to going mad. Check medical journals of any expedition to the North or South poles. Perception of time is our adaptation to our environment, our solar system, no different than a giraffs long neck to reach top branches of trees.?
We are primates who develop complex languages (sciences) to better organize themselves as social groups in conquering our environment, expanding and prospering by the help of complex prosthesis (machines, tools). Our success has been so great at this that we are drunk with glory and pride.?
If time travel was invented in the future, our presence would have been wonderfull. It isn't. So much hunger, death, suffering and terror in the world currently. What about the Hitlers of today? I see no bloody wormholes appearing on the sky to save us. It really is all up to us. If we want to time travel to a better tomorrow, we work on things today.
One thing I'm certain. Religion or any other form of Deus Ex Machina (wormhles from future man) is just not accepting responsibility. I don't want a reverend Jim Jones exploiting my resources and labor in return for a cup of Flavor-Aid. Or even a bag of pebbles from Machina Dynamica. *fool*
