Okay, but at least they tried to explain what was happening and didn't have a cliffhanger ending. A sci-fi movie can be scientifically inaccurate all it wants, so long as they at least try to explain the rules of the make believe world they live in and there's some kind of closure in the end, not gaping plot holes.]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:21:38 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=29327#29327 Two Minutes from Now, You’ll FORGET This! : Originally posted by BurnHollywoodBurnPS:... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=29325#29325 Author: moviewizguy

Sci-fi deals with things that might be impossible, but at least there is some science behind it that could explain how it could be possible.

Well, pardon me for wanting closure and a little explaination to the rules of this pretend universe that is being created. I love the good old days of when sci-fi rules were explained like Arnold explaining how the T-1000's shape shifting powers worked or Yoda explaining how the force works to Luke Skywalker. But those days are long gone and this movie is proof of that. "Oh yeah, I can only see two minutes into future ... unless I'm around Jessica Biel. Why? I don't know, just because. Oh and I may or may not stop this bomb that may or not go off, I don't know, you'll have to use your imagine with that one". Could you imagine how mad people would have been if Luke fired at that weak spot on the Death Star and then the screen cut to black and the credits rolled?! I'm sorry, but that's no way to make a successful movie that everyone will love and cherish for years to come.]]> Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:01:57 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=29313#29313 Two Minutes from Now, You’ll FORGET This! : Originally posted by BurnHollywoodBurnYeah,... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=29309#29309 Author: moviewizguy

Yeah, but then he left Liz. Now it's the return of the plot hole, how long can he see into the future now, why was the rule changed when around Liz?

99%? More like 50-50. He has tens of thousands of possible outcomes to follow, and time is against him. He might make it to the bomb on time, or he might not find it at all. In the end, the bomb is just a Hitchock "McGuffin" device and the audience is told that the whole bomb subplot of the movie didn't matter. It's like saying "Hey, remember how we made this whole thing with the bomb seems like a big deal ... yeah, it's not really a big deal at all".]]> Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:18:10 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=28984#28984 Two Minutes from Now, You’ll FORGET This! : Originally posted by moviewizguy Originally... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PID=28978#28978 Author: Vits

Ah, but it was a TIME bomb. It doesn't matter if it's a multipule choice test, if it's timed, and you don't get your answers down within that amount of time, you fail.

Yes, see, that's my. We have no f***ing clue if he does stop it or not. That is why it's a CLIFFHANGER. But I can point this out a million times, but it looks like it won't matter.

Uh-huh. You say he wouldn't stop the bomb. Why not? He can go back where he started everytime he fails. how could he not find a way to stop the bomb? The audience is left to assume that he'll eventually find a way to stop the bomb. He may need to take 100 more turns to finally get it right or maybe even one more time, but that doesn't change the fact that he will eventually find a way to defeat the baddies and save the day.

I don't know, after reading more of your post, you seem to really like movies that are gimmicked up, with plot twists and "irony" and no closure. For most critics and audiences, we like this thing called "story structure". You know, beginning, middle, and end?

Well, they did explain it, although it ended up being cliched. I'm a huge, huge supporter of this film but Cage stated that when he looks into the future of his girlfriend, it can go on for days. This is why the ending is not a cliffhanger. We, the audience, is left to assume that he'll EVENTUALLY find out a way to stop the bomb from exploding but just not yet. It may seem like a cliffhanger, but, instead, it's a unique way of saying he saved the day. That's why I liked the ending.

We understood the meanin'of the endin',but after comin'to this forums,or discussin'with people,but no one uderstood it inmediately,and people left the theatre angry.He could've give a better final narration or somethin'.

Even if the endin'was good,it's no excuse for the plot holes,like what's the deal with LIZ?Does she has powers too?The last time I saw plot holes like this was with JUMPER,but that's better'cuz they wanted to make a sequel.This one wasn't planned to have one,and since it flopped,it's not gon'na have one.

I saw this movie and I liked it a lot. It's very sophisticated and thought provoking, if you ask me. I liked the ending (don't know what's wrong with you people!). Probably because it was out of your comfort zone, you guys didn't like it. So spoilers ahead for the ending:

I liked it because they tried a different way to end it "happily". It's very obvious that he stopped the bomb. The point of the ending was to not show you what happens, yet you already know what would happen, and you wouldn't want to see him mess up several more times to go back and do something different the next time. Eventually, he would have found a way to stop the bomb, and that's that. But they ended it the way they did because he wouldn't get it right the first few times...

END SPOILERS

All in all, very fun and entertaining movie.

A guy who has the ability to see two minutes into the future uses his ability to gamble and pick up women before being asked by the government to help locate a nuclear warhead that could wipe out billions of people.

That sounds like a pitch for a comedy to me, and I really think this would have been better done as a comedy.

Hell, they could probably make this *into* a comedy in a few years and it would be a smashing success.

You could probably also have Nic Cage and Jessica Biel star in it again. :)
