Four stars instead of two only because it has Bruce Willis, whom I like.
What do we learn from this film? We learn that the future is bleak, but not really as bleak as in Blade Runner. We learn that Ford Motor Co. has at least 30 or 40 years of life yet. We learn that the drugs of the future will be administered as eye drops. And we learn that people will develop mutations which will enable them to circumvent the pesky laws of physics at will.
But the most important thing that we learn from this film is that internal consistency in a script is now obsolete: two different plot points in the film use two vastly different solutions to the same (time-travel related) problem. The first solution is just silly, but acceptable in a mindless sort of way. The second solution is conventional, but it also completely invalidates the need for the first solution.
The pacing is somewhere between slow and glacial. I would say that this is not a science-fiction movie, but rather a bizarrely slow-paced action movie with some science-fiction and some fantastic elements. It's a little better than a typical Syfy Original, but not by much.
