Honestly, I am pretty speechless having just watched this movie.
THE PLOT.
A trout faced women and her friends are stranded at sea and board an abandoned vessel. Trout face soon finds out this is no normal cruise ships as she begins to see future/past versions of herself from previous "loops". She sets out to frantically PROVE to her friends that she is not crazy but then every time she see's a duplicate version of herself and the opportunity to jump out and say "HEY LOOK, THERE'S TWO OF ME" she decides to run OFF or hide around corners. Eventually in a future loop deciding to just kill everyone, yeah that'll make your point. The entire film DOESN'T work as a paradox because MOST plot points become contradictory mid way through.
The film ends right back at the beginning with trout face weather beaten and traumatized by the events that had just happened/were about to happen again and yet mid way through the film she's completely SHOCKED by everything thats happening as if she has no clue!
For me a real mind twister is a film that can present an irrational situation in a VERY rational way. I am not lacking in imagination but it's difficult to become a part of the fantasy when the story is tripping itself up every second with an irrational and infuriating protagonist.
There are other films that deal with these themes in a much better way, I'd recommend Donnie Darko, LOST, The butterfly effect, Groundhog Day, and Cube: Hypercube. Even "Time Cop" deals with these themes better than this film and thats a steaming pile of c***!
