This was so good right up until she wasted her last time jump for literally no reason on the stupidest thing, and then right away it gives us a really stupid reveal that completely ruined the film.
Spoilers but they reveal the guy is a time traveler from the future, which was so stupid. Idk how such a good film got so bad so quickly. It made you not care about any kind of romantic plot and created so many confusing and unnecessary plot holes.
It was so disappointing because the way it was going I was thinking it could be as good as about time but it just completely ruined it. Because the rest of the film is so good I’ve decided not to rate it low but I’m super disappointed with the final third of the movie.
The fact he did all that to look at a painting. So stupid. And he just decided to become a high schooler for so long, it made no sense at all. Also why did he start dating some random girl, it had built up such an interesting story and he was a really good character but all of a sudden every single thing he did throughout the film feels so pointless and confusing.
Was heading towards a 9/10 but has lept down to a
7.6/10
