Good start, but then it gets ruined
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

View MoreAnyone who gives this over an average rating has absolutely no concept of time travel. Whatever happened has happened! You cannot go back in time without it already have happened!! Hence you cannot go back in time. You could - according to Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein himself - only possibly go forward. This film was poor on so many different levels that it was very nearly pathetic. Also on a side note....how the hell does an iPad work back in time?? Disgraceful movie.
View MoreI'll follow you down is a time travel film which is original in its story and a well scripted, well crafted mystery. It stars Haley Joel Osment and he is absolutely terrific. It also stars Gilliam Anderson and Rufus Sewell who both give outstanding performances. The story has a great pace to it easing us into the characters and setting the story up nicely for the rest of the film to unfold. If you like sci-fi mystery dramas then this will not disappoint you. It has just the right amount of each to keep you completely engaged for the whole film. Based on the fact I love sci-fi, a good mystery and a good family feel drama I am rating this an impressive 9 out of 10. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!
View MoreI'm not a sci-fi fan, but I do like a puzzle - this didn't deliver.What we get is an emotional family drama, with an excellent performance by Anderson that gives ballast to the story. Pity she leaves early on. After that I found it sentimental.The vagary of fate in parallel universes is pointed up well, but the working out of the puzzle is a bit blah. And the second act is too long, leaving too little time in the end for the time travel - just 20 mins. That's when the audience should be having fun. The gunshot is unexpected, but not really satisfying - plus it's an easy out for the film maker in avoiding the cheesiness of meeting Einstein.The lead actor is very confident, convincing in his early scenes, but didn't deliver any great line and didn't look the part.The string music is conventional.
