specialkid8 05/31/21 9:51:25 PM #1:	Finally watched it and I enjoyed it more than Interstellar or Inception. I had the same problems I did with both of those movies but overall I liked it more. The only real issue I had with it is Denzel Jr. is a terrible actor. Other than that the mechanics of it all were fun if overly convoluted like all of Nolans movies.

codey 05/31/21 11:03:38 PM #41:	I enjoyed it, but it had the same problem I have with a lot of Nolan movies: too much exposition where he rams in a lot for the audience to take in at once. The concepts make sense to him because he dreamed them up, but the typical viewer is trying to wrap their head around both the basic plot and the extreme out there physics and concepts of what's going on and having characters just dump all that on you in exposition is fairly ineffective at times. --- *runs out of topic naked* <cite>codey posted [p:954510551] in Why did pe...

JScriv 06/02/21 12:06:38 AM #45:	COVxy posted... Both reverse time agents and forward time agents seem to have agency. That literally does not follow. Let's make it simple. In the first reverse time fight scene, the character fires bullets backwards by holding his gun up to the locations that have bullet holes, but that literally makes zero sense. Either the bullets were caused by firing in forward motion, or by some reverse agent, but it can't be both simultaneously. Okay, so it wasnt just me, then. I thought about the inverted bullets thing and it just wasnt making sense. It turns it that it actually doesnt make sense. --- Stretch the bones over my skin, stretch the skin over my head I'm going to the holy land <cite>JScriv posted [p:954547740] in Why did pe...

It turns it that it actually doesnt make sense. Basically. Like the very first "reverse" shit seen, when did Pattenson put that bullet there? It would require someone planting it there.

It turns it that it actually doesnt make sense. Almost every scene you see both timelines and know who put the bullet there or did what. There is also a literal scene in the movie explaining it stating how the person is always the cause no matter which timeline you're looking at it from. It's like saying lightsabers don't make sense because the light wouldn't end at a nice point about a swords length apart because that's not how light works. Inverted objects are this movie's magic, you can say it's stupid or convoluted, but it sticks to it's stupid or convoluted rules. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all.

Darmik 06/02/21 12:27:41 AM #50:	It's been a while since I've watched a movie but doesn't Pattinson put the bullet there when he shoots the reversed gun? Basically the gun is working back through time and Pattinson is going forwards. The two objects intersect and it looks like a reversed shot from Pattinson's perspective and a normal shot from the gun's perspective. I don't recall if there's an explanation of what happens to walls that are impacted by reverse shots though. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:954548280] in Why did pe...

Also feel like the movie was written because he wanted to film certain scenes and needed a story for them. --- plays the Grismal flute <cite>snowman9267 posted [p:954548336] in Why did pe...
