![]() I cannot post her words without this being flagged. Three Days is a beautiful hymn about the resurrection of Jesus, set to a tune from Gustav Holst., text by MD Ridge and arranged by Jeffrey Honor. My wife cursed me out after seeing this movie. We are left to wonder if it is magic, scifi, a weird oriental drug he is tricked into taking, or something else. By the way, we are never told why he is able to time jump. The movie is jarring and ends is a whimper of an ending that explains nothing. There is a hot oriental chick with the.chinese triad who is the highlight of the movie. I stopped caring what happened to anyone halfway thru the ordeal. It will switch back and forth with no rhyme or reason. If they cell phone is shown broken, he is in the present and the present is set. Whenever the cell phone is NOT broken, he is in the past and can change it. Without this knowledge the movie is even dumber than it is. If you watch it, you MUST KNOW THIS FIRST: I do not consider this a spoiler. They actually had the budget and decent actors, just really really really bad writing and story telling. It moves between being a love story, failing badly.at that, and a action crime drama, failing at that too, a scifi time traveling dumbness failing there too. The movie does not know what it wants to be. So the average 3.5 rating it has today is about right, I gave it a 3. I feel sorry for those whose egos make them ridicule what they don't understand. A lot of heart went into this movie, as well as an abundance of skill and imagination. Visually it's superb, nice special effects and a score that supports each scene nicely. Don't assume the plot is similar to other films in this genreĪs others have mentioned, the production value is very good.Realize there are differing theories about time travel and what can happen.As another reviewer mentioned, pay attention to the dates on the watch.I won't give away the secret, but I'll offer a few clues. As someone who loves Brain Teasers, puzzles and mysteries, once it clicked, I found it quite sophisticated and intriguing. It actually took me a while after I watched it to figure it out. The sequences really don't seem to make sense while you're watching. I can only assume that the most critical reviewers were unable to grasp the true nature of what was happening. I was amazed at the number of low ratings on this film. ![]() Better story structure would have made this a good film. At the end of the day, I wasn't sure what exactly happened or why. If that was the point of the movie, it needed to be more fully drawn out. The only problem was, I had no idea how they related to the plot, or how the four loves came into play. I found myself glad to see the flash back scenes throughout the movie when they were studying in the library. And it would have been better as a love story than an action/thriller. The story would have been better served being told in a straight forward way without the out-of-sequence memories which made it very confusing. I had a hard time seeing how the events of the movie and the ending were related. ![]() But the plot had little to do with them actually working it out. In addition, there was little plot structure and no discernable theme other than a struggling couple works it out in the end. To start with the out-of-sequence events made it impossible to follow what was actually happening. On the negative side, the story had a lot of problems. In the middle, the acting was descent, but not great. ![]() In fact, that was the best part of the film. Also, the love story in the beginning worked for me. I am hoping their is a third installment.On the positive side, the cinematography was well done for an independent film. Once a zombee starts to problem solve all of the science and mythology associated with them falls apart.Ģ8 Weeks later did leave room for another movie to be made and didn't paint the next movie into any corners. A smart zombee kind of destroys what makes zombies scarey as a smart zombee is basically Jason Vorhees and no longer a mindless killing machine. How the hell the movie went from establishing this interesting rebuilding post apocolypstic london to this moronic chase film is mind boggling.Įverything that happened after the outbreak was just contrived and sillly, how Riener died was just dumb, how the military addressed the outbreak was equally dumb.īut the main thing the movie really screwed up with was the "smart" zombie pursueing them. The movie was really great until the outbreak happened. The fight in the subway was also spectacular. That was some of the best zombee horror ever. The openning sequence at the farm house was amazing.
