really? it didn't presume the audience too stupid to process visuals and instead beat audience over hear with expository explanation?
or are we discussing a different film ?

Awesome, awesome movie. I loved it. It wasn't perfect, but it's one of the better movies to have come out in the last 6 months. JGL and Willis were fantastic in their roles, and I was kinda surprised in the direction the movie went, but I thought it worked very well. I would definitely recommend it, I also thought it explained everything pretty good too.

Pretty enjoyable movie...very unique. That kid was creepy as hell.
The Bruce Willis badassery was great, as always. And there was some unexpectedly funny humor as well. "I'm from the future. Go to China."

The better question is, does that narrative choice overshadow and negate the film's other many merits? I'd say it does not.

Great movie. One of the best sci-fi movies in years. I think I'd probably put it right up there with Minority Report as an unexpectedly great post-2000 science fiction thriller.
I'd consider paying to see it again.

Well, there was that scene in the diner where Bruce Willis explained everything to JGL...

Saw it last night. Enjoyed it but had questions. Can someone explain how the loops start each time?

Great movie. Best sci-fi movie I've seen since The Matrix.

Darn good movie. I was thoroughly entertained. I liked that it was an "intelligent" movie. You had to stay in it the entire time and really pay attention. Left you thinking at the end and I honestly never saw the ending coming. It wasn't predictable, it wasn't overly dumbed down and it wasn't a total retread...great job.

Obvious spoilers, I hope everybody here's seen it...
I think what happened is that JGL saw that if Bruce Willis killed Sara and the kid got away, it would be that horror of seeing his second mother figure killed, this time by another person, that turned him into the angry, hateful person that becomes the Rainmaker (kind of like the ending of 12 Monkeys in that it's Bruce Willis' actions that cause the event he's trying to stop). So to stop Bruce Willis from doing that, JGL shoots himself to end the loop. Now the kid that would be the Rainmaker gets (ideally) a peaceful childhood and doesn't become the Rainmaker. Not that the things he's seen wouldn't traumatize him almost as badly, but whatever.

Thats what I thought. That inception mention made me think there was more to it. I am with Bruce Willis on this one. That kid deserves to get pwned.

Well I guess the idea is that he doesn't become evil because of JGL's actions. For a second I thought maybe the kid was Joe, because the shot of him sitting on the train looked like the same kind of memory seeing that Bruce Willis had when he had the new memories of JGL's actions. But it'd be pretty hard to cover up the fact that he was the craziest telekinetic in the world, I think that scene was just him imagining what would happen.
