About Time [Movie-2013]


As the tagline in the picture suggests, it is a feel good movie.

The basic plot of the movie revolves around Tim [Domhnall Gleeson], who has recently been informed by his dad [Bill Nighly] that men in their family can travel back in time, and thus, Tim uses his newly found powers to shape up his life to the way he thinks is the best, by incorporating the wise inputs from his father.

Yes, it is a really amazing movie, and is a pleasure to watch, also has a really innovative concept. But I feel, the writers could have worked more on the story. The thing about this movie is that it moves on a single note of HAPPY. Yes, there is the part where Tim is in a dilemma about how to counter his sister 'Kit Kat's [Lydia Wilson] accident, but it’s a very small fragment of the plot. As they say theoretically, there is no 'FALLING ACTION' in the movie, which should be a part of every movie/story.

Domhnall Gleeson and Bill Nighly display fine acting, and are well suited for the roles. I feel Rachel McAdams could have done, and has done better in other movies. I did not find her performance convincing enough. The soundtrack, was aptly chosen.

In all, a nice movie, not a MUST watch, but a Good watch.

My Rating - 6.9/10
