Really Surprised!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I've watched more time travel movies than I can remember. They've all been interesting but this one sticks in my mind as the one I like the most.I think it's because James Belushi's character is completely unpredictable and Kylie Travis' character becomes increasingly desperate as a result. I guess it's also because I like the idea that even if you have the ability to travel in time, that doesn't mean you'll automatically be able to change the outcome.I guess I also like the idea of having female lead characters in science fiction movies. Alien, for example, works well for me for that reason too.

Kind of wondering how I missed this movie in 1997 yet I found and viewed the same off the wall style movie called U-Turn. It's all in the promo I guess, if there is not enough then hopefully you just get lucky and find the hidden gems such as this.One thing I would like to mention is stick with it in the beginning, do not turn it off thinking it is a boring go nowhere movie. Probably the only thing I disliked about the film was the first 10 minutes. In that period of time there was the set up for us to get the plot idea. However, it dragged out waaaaaay toooooo lonnnnnng. I actually felt as if I had been hypnotized as I could not remember for the life of me what I was watching....until it kicked back in. So....do not be discouraged with the beginning. Stick to it. Probably the only complaint I have. Besides the regular 'she had the opportunity to do this' or 'he could have done that' BUT does that not occur in everything we watch? I believe it does.I can tell you this movie has an offbeat style as mentioned previously. Not many around like it. Jim Belushi fits the part perfectly! He scared me :) I didn't know he had it in his acting skill set to be such a psycho bully. The women were great. All round well done; edge of the seat; OMG this is crazy; what's next kinda flick.If you like something a bit different from mainstream this is for you. Enjoy!

Why are a lot of people comparing sci-fi movies to the known boundaries of science? There is fiction and there is non-fiction.. but there is also science-fiction, which is also non fiction. There is always a counterintuitive element in these movies and when you are nitpicking it its like unweaving a rainbow for no apparent reason, comparing apples and oranges etc. Just because a movie lacks a waterproof logical basis does not mean it can't be a great (B) movie. The sheer fact that time traveling on macro human-level can't be done according to what we know today would also dismiss great movies like Back to the Future, Terminator series, etc. If you want reality: do not watch movies, for they are at best based upon it. That off my chest, I can safely say I enjoyed this movie quite a bit through empirical proof. To me it is not even about the time traveling situation, its merely the cinematography of the desert, the americana of it all.
