PRODUCERS - WRITERS CANNOT DIRECT THEIR OWN MOVIES OR YOU END UP WITH GARBAGE LIKE THIS!
Not that shouting at them will do any good but - hey! - it's their money after all!
This was directed by someone who has watched far too many French art house movies, who STILL hasn't a clue what they're about but insists on inflicting his 'vision' on his poor audience.
The plot is non-existent. The movie is confusing and does not in any way lead you to want to know what's going on! Stick with it and it IS explained an hour in! You may have gathered as much if you haven't walked out or fallen asleep.
It's a one plot-point movie. Sheesh! Albeit with aspirations to be something else - god knows what! - but the aspiration has fooled some poor viewers into thinking it actually has some value. Well, if you're totally undemanding or only ever seen Mary Poppins, go for it. And Mary Poppins is far, far superior.
I couldn't quite bring myself to give this a 1 although that's what it probably deserves, because a) it's about time travel and b) some of the sets are wonderful.
But even avid time travel fans (of which I'm one) , do yourself a favour and give this a miss.
