Movie Reviews of Deja Vu
Movie Review: Time travel with a bit of a twist
Summary: 5 Stars
What if you had the technology to look into the past 24 hours whilst it was in theory happening but were unable to do anything to change it?
This is the delemma facing an ATF agent Doug Carlin in this exciting thriller from the excellent Directory Tony Scott.
The FBI want to catch the man who has put a bomb on a ship that will kill many people, including Agent Carlin's partner and also cause the death of a young woman's whose link to the bombing only becomes clearing with each passing hour.
Agent Carlin wants to save the young woman who has been brutally murdered, but how can he do this? The technology is there for time travel but it can only be used for very small things, like a piece of paper, and if you try and send anything organic, well it suffers heart failure and dies at the other end.
However in order to stop a catrastrophe and a brutal murder Agent Carlin is willing to take a leap into the past to change the future.
Aided by a FBI agent, ably played by the hunky Val Kilmer, Carlin is transported into the past, not sure if their desperate plan will work because until then nothing living has survived the journey from present to future past...
Movie Review: The Holographic Universe
Summary: 5 Stars
Preferably before you watch this movie, you should read the book called "The Holographic Universe." You should also read about the Montauk project, or study Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Time travel is possible and always has been possible. It is not science fiction. It is highly difficult to understand from our perspective, but it is not impossible.
If you are familiar with concepts of time travel and real nature of the things you see around us, then you will appreciate the depth of this movie. Because of the depth of this movie (by way of showing an accurate portrayal of the technology that has already come to fruition) I could give it no less than a 5 star review.
No other movie has attempted to show what is really possible without screwing up the realism by going totally overboard. This movie, while lacking in trite organization, is filled with semi-realistic technology and physics concepts that are normally non-existent in the realm of Hollywood.
Denzel is amazing. For his acting alone, this movie is enjoyable.
Movie Review: Simply Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie. A great plot, great acting, great movie overall.
Movie is about an agent (Denzel) who is called into a scene where a ferry ship has just blown up. He is to find the person who caused it. With the help of forensics he determines that a woman (Patton) was killed right before the ship blew up. He turns to a group of people that have designed a machine that can go back 4 days and some hours and see exactly what a person was doing at that time. For some reason, they can also transport items back to the past. This agent decides to transport himself back to the past in order to save the woman and the 500+ passengers on the ferry.
Movie is full of action. Towars the end it has you on the edge of your seat. The acting is great by everyone. It has a sorta sci-fi deal to it with the whole "time machine" but it is played off good for this movie's purpose. It doesnt come off as a joke.
Overall, it has great features and great effects. Recommended as it is a catchy and different type of movie.
Movie Review: The unbelievable, made believable
Summary: 5 Stars
Great entertainment. An action thriller - at the film's opening, a large Mississippi River ferry in New Orleans is destroyed by a bomb. An ATF agent played by Denzel Washington arrives on scene to join the huge investigation.
I don't like to give away plots and ruin it for future viewers, so I'll just say that what follows is fascinating and involves time travel. Notwithstanding that time travel is actually impossible, the subject is handled intelligently in this film, and the "what if's" are handled well.
Well casted (Denzel, lovely Paula Patton, light work by Val Kilmer, and James Caviezel in a much darker role). Well acted, budgeted, directed, and filmed. One of those that you have to pay attention to so as not to get left behind, but reasonably so. Rated PG-13, but the rare nudity is muted and I can't actually recall any offensive language. No sex. Some violence, but no gratuitous slasher stuff.
Nicely done. So pay attention, and enjoy.
Movie Review: "Our brains hurt!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Deja Vu, starring Denzel Washington as a federal agent looking into a horrific terrorist attack in New Orleans, is exciting and suspenseful beyond measure. Five minutes until the end, you still don't know what is going to happen. In this day and age of audiences being spoon-fed story lines that are way too predictable, this film is a breath of fresh air.
As we were leaving the theater, we found ourselves discussing "But if THIS happened, THEN..." type questions. We started yelling "Ow! Ow! This makes my brain hurt!"
So there you go. Deja Vu is a suspenseful adventure, has an intriguing plot, is full of great acting, has huge explosions, and contains a terrific "chase" scene (following somebody 4 days in the past on a busy highway is a neat trick).
Absolutely worth a second viewing!
