The premisses of the movie sound good..but execution is terrible..acting is pretty low..borderline cardboard.. ending is very very predictable..and the last 3rd of the movie..is so out of proportion and so out of touch with everything else..

Teen movie..for teens with very little to think about...

It was okay\ pretty engaging 2\3rds in, however the last third isn't connected to the plot at all. Terrible ending.

@curtwagner1984 yea, the ending is very stupid. at first I was excited with the general idea of the movie, like what-if situation. but in the end it turned out to be [spoiler] a shitty love story of pedoprone neurotic school teacher who took all his trauma out on his students [/spoiler]<br /> <br /> a nice life lesson though

The whole idea is good, but it's so slow even before the 3rd time. It was a little bit boring.... and I'm sad, I was really hoping for something good after watching the trailer.

Looking for a post-apocalyptic genre film, you'll be disappointed. This is a string of philosophical thought experiments. Figuring out what the director and writer were trying to say at the ending will either give you something to chew on, or leave you confused and wanting to give a bad rating. It's a battle of minds. And the acting is just fine—nothing below a B-.

As with most other people, the first 2/3rds of it was very interesting. And the third iteration I was excited for. But then... Well you saw. This whole story kind of seemed like that online story you read where a kid outsmarts his teacher and at the end it says "That boy's name? Albert Einstein.". The very end revelation kind of explained a piece earlier that wasn't questioned, but it still seemed to add nothing to the plot other than change your view of a character, and not in an interesting, plot developing way.

Fairly good premise and capable directing and acting but a horrible conclusion

I haven't seen such an interesting concept for a long while. The movie really kept my attention from beginning to end and kept me thinking even after I finished watching.
The only thing I found annoying was Petra's character.

An interesting plot that could have made a great movie if it had had a better execution.

The storyline itself has many flaws but thankfully it still manages to present the concepts, which would have been the most important part in any case.

If you do decide to watch it, don't fool yourself thinking everything will be spelled out for you. After watching it, go through every philosophical problem presented and try to find parallels within the storyline. Don't stop at the shadows being projected on the wall.

I would not recommend the movie to any person willing to learn, think or experience while/by watching. I will even go further by saying it offends my intelligence with big words trying to make up for the script's major flaws.
Fresh concept, terrible execution, not groundbreaking at all!
In this sense, the movie is strictly insulting the viewer.

Enjoyable? Well, maybe? It's a teen movie after all.
Maybe that's the kind of movies you like— It's a clear "NO" from me.

This was actually pretty good. The same scenario played over with different results. Keeps you interested and entertained till the end.
8.5/10

Acting was sloppy and very pretentious. [spoiler] Started out as an intriguing premise but descended into "How can we drag this out into three acts and try and put it all together". The ending was muddled and irrelevant to the overall movie. There seems to be an attempt to force a "Well, I did not see that coming." moment, but it was just so disjointed from relevance that it made little sense.[/spoiler]
