It is a unique blend of science fiction and psychological exploration, delving into themes of reincarnation and the transcendence of the human spirit.About the Author

A film with a sad ending, about the futile attempts of an altruist to change the future while in the past. The super star cast won’t even give you a chance to tear yourself away from the screen. Not the best, but a very worthy representative of time travel films.
no longer needed. hiding people in a mental hospital and "treating" them – the media, pseudo-morality will turn a person into a beast, ready to commit cruel acts, hiding behind good intentions .. although no, these were only superficial. people.. GGoy was originally a person, and external pressure only accelerated the transformation
How much time do we have? (c) Really, how much? Will we have time to change something in our lives, correct mistakes and do good? An interesting film about a second chance, tied to time travel, punitive medicine and PTS of a former soldier.
There is clearly something wrong with the script if the GG is pushing drama out of himself the entire film, but I don’t care. This inverted version of "12 Monkeys" is too sad, gloomy and mercilessly clumsy in its tragedy. The story has no global meaning, the love line freezes, and the movie looks like a bad dream.4,5
This film made a strong impression on me. I rarely review it. I purposefully revised this one.
For those who didn’t know, it was based on Jack London’s novel "The star rover". I could barely hold my anger from them saying that it’s based on some story. People need to know background. And paperwall of Aladdin Sane by DB is not an accident.
Quite a good thriller with a good cast (I love Keira Knightley :3) and a banal happy ending. Fans of Adrian and Keira should watch it, if you like time loops, then you should also watch it!
