| 125 of 144 people found the following review helpful  Injects some creativity into the sci-fi genre, By This review is from: Looper (+ UltraViolet Digital Copy) (DVD) It is absolutely glorious when intelligent sci-fi not only re-emerges, but returns and flourishes with spectacular results. Tucked neatly into this technologically and sometimes extraterrestrial genre of film is time travel. While time travel films aren't always done right, when they are they make one hell of an impact; the "Back to the Future" films, the "Terminator" films, "Donnie Darko," "Time Bandits," "Twelve Monkeys," "Source Code," and the fantastic little Spanish film "Timecrimes" are just a few examples. Combine that potential with the impressive writer/director Rian Johnson and an incredible cast that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, and Emily Blunt and you have one of the most anticipated films of the year on your hands with "Looper."In the year 2044, time travel has not yet been invented but 30 years from now it will have been.

Perfect use of scifi. Amazing acting (seriously.. put that kid in Ender's Game). This is an almost perfect movie (perfect by my standards, but those are my own). See it. See it twice. 18 of 23 people found the following review helpful  Clever, Original Film, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Looper [HD] (Amazon Instant Video) This movie is surprising in a lot of ways, mostly because it turns into something that you don't expect at all. (The structure of it reminded me of Psycho in how it completely shifts gears mid-way through.) Try to go in knowing as little as possible. The story goes places that are disturbing, intriguing and emotional. The performances are all strong, (Jeff Daniels is great as a tired mobster) and there is some of the best directing of a child actor I've seen in recent memory. The film is quite violent, but it never feels exploitative. They pick their moments here, which makes the screen violence meaningful and at times, terrifying. Even if you start picking apart the time travel paradoxes, the movie stays true to its own logic. There is plenty of great craft and art here to appreciate, check it out! |
