Don't read the book
23 November 2004
Okay...let's put aside the whole Paul Walker can't act thing. This movie was good. I liked it. I'm sure that some quantum physics geek somewhere is saying that they screwed up the space time continuum...that the Einstein-Rosenberg bridge (or whatever it's called) is not to be taken lightly...but the fact remains that this film was entertaining. Unfortunately, I read the book. I don't know why I continue to do that, because they never get it right. The worst part is, I read the book AFTER I watched the movie. But, I have put the book aside and have judged only the movie as it was. And it was fun. It was entertaining. Sure, there were some big-time changes made to history, but it's a movie. It isn't real life. It's not supposed to be. Movies are ways to escape, and this film lets the viewer do just that...except that Paul Walker can't act.
