Brilliant and touching
Best movie ever!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I really liked this. Gotta say.This premise has been made into quite a lot of movies, actually. The newest being 'Edge of Tomorrow' with Tom Cruise. 'Groundhog Day' being one of the first and maybe the most well known. (There is also one called 12:01, that I caught on television one time as a kid, I was absolutely fascinated. I had not seen Groundhod Day at the time).OK, moving along!Repeaters is pretty much the same premise as Groundhog Day, like I said, but much darker. Which is also probably much more realistic, as people tend to use their extraordinary powers for bad things.Anyhow I enjoyed this movie a lot, and it is quite a mess these people get themselves in, and it made me sort of uncomfortable. At least I tend to feel a little uncomfortable when people in movies get themselves into more and more of a mess. I like thinking that I may have problems of my own, but at least not _those_ problems.I would recommend 'Repeaters' if you like that kind of time travel/time loop-kind of movie. I think the score this has one here is a little on the low side.
Three delinquents experience the same day over and over again. So what do they do? Not much, really. The key is "Carston! Seven thirty." And so we go again. But from this enjoyable concept nothing clever or insightful ensues, and we end up with a midwestern family values story. Just like that other movie, but without Bill Murray's delightful cynicism.What would it be like to live without consequences for your actions? A bit dull, mostly miserable, do the same. So, not much different from real life, which technically makes this a documentary.This really needed some perverse behaviour from the characters, however foul according to the taste of the intended audience. Without the perversity it simply failed to explore the concept. The good guys were good, the bad guy was bad. Completely dull.Pace, direction, editing all excellent, but concept cooked as flat as a pancake. I did like the actress with her slopey nose and woolly hat.
At the time of this writing, IMDb rating for Repeaters was only 5.8.Last week, a good friend of mine recommended this movie to me, and even though we do not always agree on what is a good movie, I watched it, and I am very glad that I did. This movie explores one of the most intriguing premises: what if today was to repeat itself indefinitely, and you had the freedom to do what you want and remember everything you did and what happened, every time the day repeated itself? What would you do? This is the privilege, or the curse, that befell on three drug addicts in a rehabilitation center. It is a privilege if you can learn what you did wrong and use that knowledge to improve the events of this day. But it can be a curse if you see it as a damn trap out of which there is no escape. The story unravels at a nice steady pace, and things are quickly evolving toward some pretty dramatic situations. The performance of the actors was decent enough, and the director should get recognized for putting together a very logical sequence of events despite the complexity of the story. I am pointing this out because I noticed how often some movies add confusion just for the sake of being creative. Although I generally appreciate the effort, sometimes it's just better to keep things simple so as to get the story across effectively and memorably. And this is particularly important when the story includes many very interesting ideas such as the duration of the time loop, what if it's infinite, what happens if it ends, how will you know, death and time, does what you do have any effect on the "real" time line, and, come to think of it, which one is the "real" time line. Then, when you have all the details of such a story straight and clear in your mind, it's so much easier to mull over them later, as I did, and still do.
What a waste of a good premise. A time loop where people live the same day, over and over again.12.01 was excellent. Thought provoking, intelligent. Ground Hog Day was with Bill Murray contained his dry humour, was very good.But this poor excuse??????????.I cannot understand why this film got any positive reviews at all.?????Foul language and moronic scenes of younger people doing moronic things because they know they will get away with it due to re- living everyday the same.And that was this film.I was hoping for an intelligent script, no chance.Anybody with half a brain stay away from this movie.
