Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

laura28-1 This is a wonderful film. Not for any one particular reason -- the acting is great, the story keeps you wanting to learn more and involves time travel without becoming confusing -- it's just an all-around fun film. It is unfortunately difficult to see in the United States since the actors speak Catalan and it has mostly been making the rounds in film festivals. Through a series of email exchanges, I've learned that a DVD can be purchased from Manga films in Spain. The DVD is region 2, not 1, so be sure your DVD can play it, but this is well worth the trouble to track down. I saw this film in 2004 and it comes to mind often enough that I am trying to purchase a copy 3 years later.

pyter_vd_berg Timetravelling, the apocalypse and true love - sounds promising? Well, it isn't. First of all: the concept of time travel is used without any sense in the film, which annoys me, but maybe not everybody will find this disturbing. The movie is full of clichés, normal guy needs to save the world, but is really a hero, love seems doomed, but turns out stronger even than the apocalypse! Hooray. Even bystanders applaud when the two main characters find each other with a passionate kiss that seems to come out of the blue, how original. The time travel clichés are also present: a little change can make events develop totally differently (yeah, yeah, we know that by now). The clumsiness of the main character is too much, too stereotypical, and a mere attempt to imitate other films with similar anti-heroes. The situation in which somebody from the future who never had any alcohol goes totally drunk after one beer is also really-just-not-new. I'm being honest, I like movies, and nothing in this one seems to be original, it's an accumulation of poor copies of concepts that we have encountered in many films before.So aren't there any good things in this movie? Well, there are, some. Some dialogs (but not many) are quite funny, and the setting in Barcelona is warm and nice, the photography is quite all right though not exceptional. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go and see this movie at all.

kevin-harvey11 I recently saw this film at a showing at The Festival of Fantastic Films in Manchester, England.What a truly magical movie! It is similar in genre to Amelie and equally as unique. You MUST see this film It yet again proves that a $100 million Hollywood film does not alone make for a fantastic story!! It contains nothing to offend and yet everything to recommend it.The story is original and the fact that time travel is used without leaving the viewer confused and dazed is genius. All the different strands of time travel are neatly threaded together by the end. This is a brilliant feel good film, go and see it!!

Hellmao Meet Ramon, a low profile loner in Barcelona, superhero comic strips fan and too shy to approach the nice woman he sees walking the square every day. A small existence lacking any excitement. But then, in the middle of the night, a time traveller appears in his bedroom with a strange message: A small box of medication, Tempus Fugit, can bring you hours or days back or forward in time, and Ramon has a mission. He has to save the world. It sounds quite simple, but things get difficult for Ramon when the box is lost and his football crazy neighbour and his dog get involved. Will Ramon be able to save the world ? Does he still want to after finding out to be the chosen one because he is meaningless ? Tempus Fugit was produced for TV, but has made its way through various european film festivals with great public recognition. Rightfully so, because Enric Folch has made a friendly little movie with good actors, a plot full of little twists and turns and some very funny moments. The whole thing works very well on a big screen, and we can leave the cinema with a smile on our face: Little things can have big consequences and if we dare to change our daily routine and jump over our shadows, we don't need superhero skills to save the world. With a little luck we can even find the love of our life.
