This is a movie I should have enjoyed as the science fiction in mi or elements were interesting and even the time travel components were fun and different. Though it never quite comes together in a strong way.

As at first the film seems to stay on target Exploring time travel and the many ways in which our main character keeps going back but has to movie forward to make any progress.

Then the second half of the film changes tone. Whereas before it was a light wacky comedy. I. The second half for becomes more dramatic. As the main character has to face some harsh truths and that no matter what her fate will end up being the same and that maybe instead of spending her time trying to change things. She should accept what she does have and appreciate the time she has left with them.

This is after she has explored different fates and  looked up people from her past. So that the film becomes overly sentimental with some hard truths passed along. 

Which could work as the film gets you to watch with comedy and sci-fi then tells the story it wants you to truly stay for and pay attention to while remembering to reference some sci-fi again to keep it in the realm. 

It’s a sweet movie, but never quite reaches its potential and makes you wonder what exactly was the aim. As it does tell a story but makes it so maudlin and complicated getting there. That it feels a little too much and never quite raises above a certain tempo. 

Even the cast who are good seem more in the middle. Never quite too strong or excited or energetic. The film feels way too laid back and passive. 

though Ayo Edebiri get’s co-Stsr credit she is more a supporting actress and it’s featured more heavily in the first half of the film than the second half and while she does what she needs to do doesn’t make any strong impression in the role, but then again the role doesn’t really give her too much to do either

It’ not a bad movie just not for me. Maybe I am missing something.
