A different way of telling a story
Taraparain
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Appeared to be building a plot for the first 15 minutes, or so, then seemed to suffer from what I call "Topic Derailment Syndrome" and could not reach it's destination... if it even knew where it was heading to begin with.
There's a bit of a love story in there (I think), but even that was more like an after thought due to the rapidly disintegrating plot.Synchronicity is a word which I would use to describe things which have some sort of timely connection... not a word I would use to describe this film.!?Does this review contain spoilers?
If someone could add a spoiler, I'd be keen to read it... maybe it could explain what the film was about !

I don't often write reviews and I'm making an exception this time because I almost never watched this film due to its 5.5 rating. Normally IMDb ratings are a good indicator of a films worthiness but this is a notable exception. Reading the reviews I noticed they were very polarised. Either really bad or really good. Seemed like a "love it or hate it" type. I decide to give it 10 minutes just to get a feel for it. If you are reading this and trying to decide I suggest you do the same. It's more of a romance than a sci-fi, has elements of Blade Runner and is very atmospheric. Sound track is awesome. I've given it a 9/10 just to re-balance the very unfair 5.5 rating. If I was to rate with an IMDb average rating then I'd give it a 7.9

Not much to say about this movie. The story line was weak. The acting mediocre. But the most maddening thing was the very obvious attempt to reproduce the look and feel of The Blade Runner. In that, it only partially succeeds by making it clear which shots were being replicated (har har).Deckard's apartment is the most obvious source for the apartments of both the main character and his romantic interest: The light streaming in through blinds of vehicles flying by as an example. The scenes where elevators are moving up and down the external side of a building very much like the Tyrellcorp building elevators is another.At one point there is a scene where the female love interest is asleep and the physicist is on the left side of the frame backlit. Very very reminiscent of the "do you trust me" scene in The Blade Runner. The apartment intercom is very very much like the scene where Deckard calls Rachel from the bar. Combine all of this with the use of Vangelis-like sounds that never quite go to the right places, and you have the makings of a film that elicits some amount of grief and a yearning for someone to do things right. This is not that film.If you've never seen The Blade Runner, you need to see it and decide who does this better. Stories are completely different, but the attempt of look and feel is very obvious and ham fisted. If you haven't seen this movie, just go in expecting the quality of a 1990's SciFi original and you will not be disappointed.

As you can read in the title... The movie starts as a bad SF movie, weird scene with various scientific vocabulary that the viewer doesn't understand (in purpose I imagine), the movie starts with an invention discovery : time travel, and the scenes going and ongoing, every single scene becomes more clear to the viewer. Some scenes would just, at first, seem bad-played by the actors, but at the end gain logic and the role-plays take every of their logic. The movie is about time travel, parallel universes, and the whole plot is mind-blowing. What I thought first being an easy-to-watch movie, finally became a really deep-movie with an incredible plot. If you liked Inception, you'll probably like this one as well. Get ready to have your mind blown... This is definitely worth its 1 hour and 40 minutes.
