Don't be put of by the fact that this appears to have been made for Spanish television, there is nothing "tv" about this film.
A simple but exceptionally well done tale of time travel and all of the repercussions involved with screwing up the natural order of things. Even whe...( read more)
Clara: Time flies here.
A tightly plotted, yet easy to understand time travel thriller. Its fast paced, exciting, and fresh, with problems that could only hurt your experience if you hold it against the film.

Clever, entertaining little low-budget flick. Nothing too deep or thoughtful though. It's like Primer's dumb, fun younger brother.
Also it was really difficult for me to get into this because the main character was SO. FUCKING. STUPID. Holy shit. I can't even express how angry w...( read more)
Less of a head scratcher than Primer, this one starts out easily enough but demands attention towards the end. It was nice watching a mentally stimulating film, but I found myself wondering frequently why the main character would bother trying to do the things he would do. Over...( read more)

The Scientist; He's you.

Damn GOOD!
This turned ot to be one of the best films all year! If you havnt seen give it a try well worth your dollor!
Enjoyed this a great deal + was pleasantly surprised as the plot unfolded. I suggest you watch this before you see 'Triangle' if you get a chance.
Interesting. It maybe gets too much in the classic topics of time travels (predictable sometimes), even the clasic errant and absurd behaviour of the main character. But, OK, you can have a good time with it.
The idea isn't bad, and Vigalondo makes the pretzel logic of the situation lucid, but he doesn't have the chops to give the tale the suspense and humor it needs. full review
The film's plentiful complications aren't necessarily unique ... but they're given corkscrew verve by taut plotting and correspondingly fleet, no-nonsense direction. full review
