Review of Timecrimes

Timecrimes (2007)
6/10
Episodic story that feels too long for a movie
10 September 2017
I liked the story, even if it had obvious production flaws, but not everybody can do Hollywood like films. The problem is that it is just a gimmick, with a few characters which don't really evolve in any way. The hallmark of a good story is that something changes, becomes more. In Timecrimes everybody stays the same, even when faced with time travel and multiple versions of themselves. That was disappointing.

Also, since there are basically four people in the entire movie, if feels like a play, with the revelatory twists that someone expects from an episode of Outer Limits, not from a full feature film.

Bottom line: interesting, low budget, way too long for its content. Maybe worth a watch, but I wouldn't recommend it.
